The Changing Skyline Of Lagos: 10 Buildings To Look Out For In 2016 by johnca(m): 7:50pm On Feb 02, 2016 |
Construction in Lagos is changing not just the skyline of Lagos, but also the lives of its residents. For example, Nigeria’s first suspended bridge, also known as the Lekki Ikoyi Bridge, is not only a marvel to behold, but also a popular watering hole for many Lagosians. Further constructions such as man-made islands (Orange Island and Eko Atlantic), are also completely transforming the landmass and shape of the city. And construction is not slowing down any time soon. With the number of buildings, developments and infrastructural projects currently underway, in 2016 the Lagos streetscapes and skyline will drastically morph into something new. Here is a list of buildings and developments to look out for in 2016. 1. Orange Island Estimated completion date: 2018/2019 This ambitious real estate project, classified under the new neighborhoods, has been christened as Orange Island. The development, which is already underway, is estimated to cover 150 hectares of land in Lekki, Lagos State. Orange Island, which is similar to Eko Atlantic City project, is a newly berth planned city on the Lagos lagoon, estimated to cost N40 billion and to accommodate 25,000 people. 6 Likes 2 Shares

4. Chelsea Hotel Estimated completion date: Not stated The site is located at the intersection of Kingsway, Gerrard and Osborne Road, and considered to be prime real estate in Ikoyi by prospective real estate developers. Multiple access points, high visibility, coupled with the exclusive Ikoyi location help boost its suitability. Although humble, construction has already commenced on the site of the five-star hotel, developed by the Chelsea Group. The hotel, which will consist of 10 floors and 176 rooms, is estimated to cost $25 million.
