Insight
Land remains the most trusted store of value during economic uncertainty, outperforming equities, cash, and cryptocurrency in investor preference.
Lagos remains one of Africa’s most active and resilient real estate markets, underpinned by rapid urbanisation, strong population inflows, and transformative infrastructure projects. Demand consistently outstrips supply, creating sustained opportunities for developers and investors across residential, commercial, and industrial segments.
Population growth exceeding 20M continues to pressure housing supply.
Infrastructure upgrades—coastal road, Deep Sea Port, refinery corridor—are unlocking new investment zones.
Limited land availability on the Island keeps core markets strong and pushes growth into emerging corridors.
Active diaspora investment remains a major capital source, especially for off-plan and luxury units.
High demand across all income levels keeps absorption strong. Traditional prime markets like Ikoyi, Victoria Island, and Banana Island remain stable luxury anchors, while fast-growing areas such as Epe, Ibeju-Lekki, Abijo, and Sangotedo are delivering some of the highest land appreciation rates in the region.
Off-plan continues to dominate investor behaviour due to flexible payment plans.
Gated estates and smart-home developments are now market differentiators.
Mid-market housing shows the most reliable demand and fastest sales velocity.
Lagos continues to attract multinational corporations, tech firms, and scaled SMEs. Despite cyclical fluctuations in Grade-A office occupancy, investor activity remains steady as developers shift toward mixed-use concepts that blend residential, retail, hospitality, and office into a single high-yield footprint.
Co-working and flexible leasing models are increasingly preferred by tech startups.
Retail remains strong in affluent nodes like Lekki, Ikeja, and Surulere.
The Lekki industrial belt is shaping into Lagos’ next major investment engine. Demand for warehouses, distribution centres, and worker housing continues to accelerate, supported by the new seaport and refinery complex.
Logistics real estate shows some of the strongest medium- to long-term upside.
Growing e-commerce penetration is increasing the need for storage and last-mile hubs.
High construction costs and currency fluctuations impact project budgeting.
Land title verification remains a critical due-diligence point.
Infrastructure gaps—flooding, congestion, power—must be factored into project feasibility.
Lagos is positioned for sustained appreciation driven by industrial expansion, population density, and continuous infrastructure investment. Early entry into emerging corridors—paired with strong governance and quality delivery—offers standout long-term returns.
The Eleko–Ibeju Lekki axis has emerged as one of the most strategically important growth corridors in West Africa. Its transformation is driven by a cluster of multi-billion-dollar industrial projects, improving infrastructure, and rapid inward migration. As Lagos expands eastward, this corridor is becoming the city's next major engine for residential, commercial, and industrial development, offering investors strong early-stage upside.
Positioned between major economic catalysts: Dangote Refinery, Lekki Deep Sea Port, Lekki Free Trade Zone, and the new International Airport zone.
Fast-improving transport connectivity via the Lekki–Epe Expressway expansion reduces travel times and boosts real estate absorption.
Growing status as Lagos’ new industrial and logistics hub, drawing workers, suppliers, and supporting businesses.
Population inflows into the corridor are accelerating as workers and families seek proximity to economic centres and more affordable housing. Developers are responding with gated estates, low-density communities, and smart-home projects targeting the rising middle class.
Strong demand for 2–3 bedroom apartments, townhouses, and serviced plots.
High land price appreciation in Eleko, Lakowe, Abijo, and environs over the last five years.
Off-plan projects dominate investor interest due to low entry pricing and rapid capital gains.
As industrial operations scale, supporting commercial activity is expanding—fuel stations, retail plazas, hospitality projects, and neighbourhood centres are emerging rapidly to serve the growing population.
Increasing need for lifestyle centres, neighbourhood malls, and grade-B office pods.
Hotels, serviced apartments, and short-let units demonstrate rising occupancy from business travellers and project workers.
This corridor is becoming the backbone of Lagos’ logistics ecosystem. With the seaport and refinery operational, demand for storage, distribution, and light industrial facilities is rising at unprecedented speed.
Warehousing, truck terminals, and last-mile distribution hubs are top-performing investment categories.
High demand for worker housing estates and dormitory-style accommodation for industrial staff.
One of the fastest-appreciating real estate zones in Nigeria.
Solid mid- to long-term prospects driven by industrial expansion.
Significant room for early-stage entry into undeveloped or semi-developed pockets.
Strong rental demand anticipated as population density grows.
Infrastructure gaps persist in some inland communities; investors must assess access roads and drainage.
Title verification remains essential due to ongoing land fragmentation.
Market pace is tied closely to the performance of large industrial anchors.
With multiple mega-projects maturing simultaneously, Eleko–Ibeju Lekki is positioned to become Lagos’ next major urban and economic cluster. For investors, the corridor offers a rare combination of affordability, scalability, and long-term value appreciation—making it one of the most compelling real estate plays in the region today.
Eleko LandBank REIC Ltd operates as a Private Real Estate Investment Company (REIC) designed to acquire, enhance, and divest strategic land parcels within the Eleko–Ibeju Lekki corridor. The REIC uses a Master–SPV structure, allowing investors to participate through:
The Master Fund (broad exposure across multiple assets), or
Individual Property SPVs (deal-by-deal participation)
This structure combines diversification, risk separation, and investor choice.
Each land asset is held in a dedicated Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV).
Every SPV is legally and financially ring-fenced, ensuring:
No cross-contamination of liabilities
Asset-level control and transparency
Clear title ownership and boundary protection
Protection against operational risk in other SPVs
Structure concept (simple, text-based, clean solid lines):

Investor capital protection
Each SPV holds only one asset; risks do not transfer across entities.
Transparent valuations
Investors can track the performance of each parcel directly.
Planning approvals handled per asset
Faster processing and cleaner risk management.
Flexible investor choice
Investors may participate in the Master Fund or select SPVs.
Ring-fencing ensures that:
Each SPV maintains its own bank account, documentation, and ledger.
Liabilities, disputes, or title issues remain isolated within that SPV.
Investors retain exposure only to the specific assets they choose.
Returns are distributed SPV by SPV, not pooled unless through the Master Fund.
Risk Segregation Strength (Proportional Bars):
Legal Separation: ████████████████████
Financial Isolation: ████████████████
Operational Clarity: █████████████████
Investor Protection: ███████████████████████
The governance structure ensures professional oversight and compliance:
REIC Board provides top-level governance and approves all acquisitions.
Investment Manager (Waqf Partners) manages sourcing, due diligence, planning uplift, and exits.
Custodian (The Alternative Bank, TBC) safeguards funds and SPV cash flows.
Independent Professionals (surveyors, valuers, lawyers) validate each acquisition.
This framework ensures disciplined execution and transparent reporting.
Investors may subscribe through one of two paths:
Exposure to the entire portfolio of future SPVs
Automatic participation in multiple land acquisitions
Reduced single-asset risk
Centralised governance
Investors choose the specific land parcels they want
Tailored risk appetite and exposure
Ability to invest in multiple SPVs
Direct link between asset performance and investor returns
This dual-option approach ensures flexibility for both conservative and opportunistic investors.
Master Fund: ████████████████████ Broad exposure, diversified
Property SPVs: ██████████████ Individual asset exposure
Risk Isolation: █████████████████████ Very strong
Investor Choice: █████████████████ High flexibility
Reporting Clarity: ██████████████████ Strong
Eleko LandBank REIC Ltd follows a disciplined land banking strategy focused on acquiring early-stage, high-growth parcels within the Eleko–Ibeju Lekki corridor. Each acquisition is executed through a dedicated SPV, ensuring transparency and asset protection.
The strategy emphasises:
Early entry into growth zones
Secured documentation and verified boundaries
Value enhancement through planning approvals
Exit via unit sales or full parcel sales
The acquisition approach prioritises parcels that demonstrate:
Strong appreciation potential
Clean, verifiable title history
Growth catalysts linked to infrastructure
Proximity to key anchors (Refinery, Port, FTZ, Airport Zone)
Favourable topography and accessibility
Each opportunity is evaluated using professional surveys, title verification, market comparables, and development readiness analysis.
A core part of the value strategy is obtaining planning approvals (layout, excision confirmation, survey alignment, planning permits).
Planning approvals may increase land value significantly due to:
Defined development potential
Reduced regulatory uncertainty
Increased desirability for developers
Removal of title ambiguity
Planning Uplift Strength (Indicative Only)
Low Documentation: ███████
Survey Verified: ██████████████
Planning Approval: █████████████████████
In selected SPVs, the Company may undertake minor improvements that materially enhance value without full development commitment:
Access road grading
Demarcation and perimeter marking
Drainage and minor clearing works
Plot layout optimisation
These improvements help unlock higher resale values while maintaining a land-only investment structure.
The Company maintains two clear exit pathways:
Land is subdivided into plots
Individual units are sold to homeowners, investors, and small developers
Often yields higher absolute returns
Provides optional purchase rights to SPV investors
Entire parcel sold to a large developer
Faster exit timeline
Ideal for institutional buyers or master developers
Exit decisions are made per SPV based on market conditions, planning status, and comparative value.
Investors in a Property SPV may receive priority rights to purchase subdivided units (plots) at preferential rates when applicable.
This provides:
First access to appreciating land
Dual benefit as investor + potential buyer
Embedded value option within each SPV
The strategy aims to deliver positive community and environmental outcomes through:
Respect for local land use and community structures
Responsible acquisition practices
Engagement with professional surveyors and planning consultants
Support for infrastructure alignment where possible
Transparent documentation and development compliance

Eleko LandBank REIC Ltd’s strategy is validated by strong market fundamentals, historical price performance across the corridor, and the investment track record of the sponsor group. While the REIC focuses on structured land banking, the underlying team has executed multiple successful acquisitions, consolidations, and exits within the Ibeju–Lekki ecosystem—providing a proven blueprint for the current vehicle.
The sponsor team has a consistent history of:
Identifying undervalued parcels early in developing zones
Securing clean title and governor-level approvals
Aggregating multiple plots into larger, more liquid holdings
Delivering exits with significant capital appreciation in 2–6 years
Working with trusted surveyors, valuers, and community stakeholders to de-risk acquisitions
This execution model now forms the operational backbone of the REIC.
Independent data across the Eleko–Ibeju Lekki axis supports the fund’s thesis:
Land prices in key nodes (Eleko Junction, Lekki FTZ belt) have increased 200–600% over the last 6–10 years.
Infrastructure-triggered pockets—such as the Deep Sea Port and Refinery zones—have recorded some of the highest ROI in Lagos State.
Areas like Epe, Abijo, and Orimedu continue to outperform the broader Lagos market, even in challenging macro environments.
This sustained appreciation validates the corridor as a long-term growth engine.
Diaspora investors continue to deploy significant capital into Eleko–Ibeju Lekki due to predictable appreciation and lower entry pricing.
Institutional interest is rising in logistics hubs around the Port and Refinery axis, validating prospects for industrial land.
Developers are increasingly sourcing larger consolidated parcels—favouring REIC-style aggregation models.
Government and private-sector projects provide strong third-party validation of the investment thesis:
Lekki Deep Sea Port (operational)
Dangote Refinery (operational)
Lekki Free Trade Zone expansion
Coastal road construction
Proposed Lekki International Airport
Epe expressway dualisation
These projects continue to elevate land values and attract sustained private-sector investment.
With a proven execution track record, strong corridor appreciation, and continuous external validation from mega-infrastructure projects, the Eleko LandBank REIC Ltd strategy is firmly grounded in real market performance—not speculation. This establishes a robust foundation for scaling the portfolio and delivering sustained investor returns.
The Company evaluates each land parcel using a strict, data-driven acquisition framework to ensure suitability, safety, and long-term capital appreciation. Priority is placed on assets that demonstrate:
Strong projected appreciation based on infrastructure proximity
Clean, verifiable title history and documented boundary integrity
Direct access or easy link to arterial roads
Favourable topography and environmental condition
Proximity to catalytic developments (Refinery, Port, FTZ, Airport Zone, Coastal Highway)
Measurable development demand (housing, logistics, industrial)
Only parcels that pass full due diligence—survey review, title verification, planning assessment—progress to SPV acquisition.
The REIC is focused on the Eleko–Ibeju Lekki growth corridor, with allocation guided by infrastructure impact and projected population inflow.
Target allocation ranges:
Core Eleko Axis: ██████████████████████ 40–50%
Ibeju Lekki Central: ████████████████ 25–35%
Epe Border Growth Zone: █████████████ 15–20%
Strategic Adjacent Areas: ████████ 5–10%
This diversified corridor strategy reduces single-zone exposure while maintaining concentration in the highest-growth region of Lagos.
Each Property SPV is classified based on its development readiness stage. This helps investors understand risk, potential uplift, and expected holding horizon.
Stage 1 – Raw Land (Early): ██████
Stage 2 – Survey Verified: ███████████████
Stage 3 – Documentation Complete: █████████████████████
Stage 4 – Planning Approval Secured: ███████████████████████████
Most acquisitions target Stage 2 and Stage 3, where value uplift from planning approval is strongest relative to cost.
The REIC maintains a forward-looking sourcing pipeline across the corridor. Pipeline categories include:
Parcels undergoing title verification, survey analysis, and environmental checks.
Parcels with strong fundamentals pending valuation, boundary confirmation, and negotiation.
Board-approved parcels ready for SPV setup, documentation, and acquisition closing.
Parcels where pricing, access, or planning considerations are being finalised.
Indicative pipeline weighting:
Active Review: ████████████████
Shortlisted: ███████████
Approved (SPV Ready): ████████
Under Negotiation: ████████████
This ensures continuous sourcing while maintaining diligence discipline.
The allocation framework aims to deliver:
Exposure across multiple growth clusters
Blended risk from early-stage and planning-ready parcels
Balance between appreciation potential and development readiness
SPV-level choice for investors seeking tailored exposure
A pipeline that supports consistent deployment and exits
Portfolio Diversification Strength
Geographic Spread: ████████████████████
Risk Balancing: ████████████████
Demand Alignment: █████████████████
