Tony Elumelu’s Afriland Properties Plc has just rolled out an exciting new development in Ikoyi, one of the city’s most prestigious areas. Called “The Residences,” this collection of 13 luxury apartments is designed not just to be a place to live, but a statement of lifestyle and comfort.
Ikoyi, known for its leafy avenues and upscale ambiance, now plays host to these newly unveiled homes ranging from cozy two-bedrooms to a lavish four-bedroom penthouse.
Afriland’s latest project isn’t just about upscale living; it’s a stride toward addressing the diverse housing needs across various income levels in Nigeria.
Emmanuel Nnorom, the Chairman of Afriland Properties’ board, shares his insights on the initiative. “Our research underscores a persistent demand for secure, comfortable living spaces in Lagos,” he notes. “Despite economic hurdles, we must remember that housing is a basic human need, just as crucial as food and clothing.”
Afriland is making a promise not just to the wealthy but to those on the other end of the economic spectrum. The company is setting the stage to introduce more affordable housing options in its upcoming projects.
“Our aim is quite clear: to ensure that decent housing is accessible to everyone, regardless of their financial situation,” Nnorom explains. This approach not only addresses the immediate housing shortage but also contributes significantly to narrowing the broader housing gap in the region.
The ethos at Afriland Properties is that quality housing should be a universal standard, not a privilege for the few.
Whether it’s a high-end apartment or a more economically priced unit, Afriland commits to maintaining high standards across the board. “Every project, big or small, mirrors our commitment to quality,” says Nnorom. “We’re actively working on expanding our offerings, including some exciting plans for Ikeja.”
Backing these ambitious projects is Heirs Holdings, Tony Elumelu’s investment company, which is deeply rooted in the philosophy of Africapitalism.
This approach aims to foster economic prosperity and social wealth across Africa. Afriland, with a property portfolio exceeding N10 billion ($6.5 million) and one of the largest land banks in Nigeria, is poised to be a key player in transforming Africa’s real estate landscape.
Afriland isn’t just building homes; it’s crafting environments where people can thrive, connect, and live well. As Lagos continues to grow, developments like The Residences at Ikoyi are pivotal in shaping a city that is as diverse in its housing options as it is in its culture and people.

Influx of tourists, investors
Since reopening its borders, Japan has seen a significant influx of tourism and real estate investment, driven by its popular destinations like Niseko and the low currency value, making spending cost-effective. The dollar strength has also improved sentiment towards the country’s resort real estate market.
The latest edition of the PropertyGuru Asia Property Awards (Greater Niseko) features a diverse range of categories reflecting the growing appeal of Japan’s alpine real estate to international property seekers.
This year’s awards programme is accepting entries across several new categories, including Best Investment Condo Development and Best Investment Housing Development. Other categories are poised to recognise Greater Niseko’s finest lifestyle developments, nature-integrated projects, and sales galleries.
Placing more emphasis on Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) global standards, this year’s awards include all-new recognitions for developers within Greater Niseko that excel in sustainable design, sustainable construction, energy efficiency, and social impact.
Jules Kay, general manager of Awards and Events at PropertyGuru Group, said: “We invite nominations for this year’s awards in Japan as we recognise the dynamic and multifaceted growth of its resort industry. We’re pleased to see international investors capitalising on the immense potential of Japan’s resorts and launch developments that enhance convenience and lifestyle options for tourists, skiers, and snowboarders. Beyond the winter season, these resorts present untapped opportunities with their scenic beauty, year-round onsens, mountain biking trails, and premier golf courses. Join us this year in celebrating the properties transforming Japan’s resort market.”
Transparent, fair, credible
An independent panel of judges, comprising experts in the property sector and related fields, determines this year’s distinguished crop of winners. The judges conduct a transparent, fair, and credible selection process under the supervision of HLB, the global advisory and accounting network.
Eddie Guillemette, chairperson of the Awards in Greater Niseko and CEO of Midori no Ki (MnK), said: “The Asia Property Awards offer an opportunity for developers to distinguish their brands in an increasingly competitive property market. In the Japanese alpine market, developers can use the awards process to hone their message to attract guests, sports enthusiasts, and investors with unique designs, complimentary services, and all-season attractions. Winning a regional award like this validates a real estate project and ultimately helps build trust with consumers.”
Top winners will get the chance to compete with their peers from across the region for the coveted titles of “Best in Asia” at the 19th PropertyGuru Asia Property Awards Grand Final, which will be presented at the gala night on 13 December 2024 in Bangkok.
