Eko Atlantic is a 10 million square metre mixed-use city constructed on reclaimed land adjacent to the Lagos coast.
The project was designed by South Energy Nigeria Limited, a project of the Chagoury Group and started in 2008.
The project, which is expected to be fully completed in about 2035, is intended to accommodate more than 250,000 residents, making it one of the most ambitious master-planned city projects privately funded in Africa.
The luxury residential segment in Eko Atlantic is characterized by a unique ecosystem.
Luxury residential properties in Lagos have experienced impressive sales price growth in naira, averaging 38%–60% annually over the past five years, mainly fueled by sustained demand from high-net-worth individuals owing to the brand equity that the project has built since it broke ground.
From our perspective, one of the defining edges of Eko Atlantic is its fully integrated infrastructure and Free Zone status, which offers tax incentives, regulatory support, and Lagos State-backed sublease. The residential market in Eko Atlantic is led by Arkland Properties with more than 220 units, alongside Eko Development Company (the developers of Eko Atlantic itself) and Eko Pearl.
With luxury apartments priced between $659,400 and $5 million, Eko Atlantic targets ultra-HNIs, particularly diaspora and institutional investors.
With major corporate relocations and over 21 pipeline developments totalling 2,500+ units, with many already 50% pre-sold, investor confidence remains strong despite some projects remaining at conceptual stages.

It is located about 500 meters from Lagos’s financial hub in Eko Atlantic, providing residents with premium urban amenities, advanced infrastructure, and panoramic Atlantic Ocean views.
The development comprises five residential skyscrapers: Eko Black Pearl (24 floors) and Champagne Pearl (33 floors), both completed, while White Pearl (31 floors), Indigo Pearl (33 floors), and Aqua Pearl (24 floors) are under construction. Collectively, the completed towers have set a benchmark for luxury living in Eko Atlantic, delivering over 560 one- to three-bedroom apartments, including duplexes and terrace penthouses, alongside amenities such as tennis courts, swimming pools, and health clubs.
