Estimated completion date

By Q4 2024 the building is expected to be completed. However a building of this magnitude is believe 2025, it would be fully completed.

Estimated Cost of Selling

In my experience and the asking price of properties in this luxury niche. The size of apartment, quality of finishing, lifestyle are some of the components that determines the pricing. However, using the average selling price of 4 bedroom luxury apartments in Ikoyi which stands at $1.5M. We can therefore estimate that the starting price for sale of apartments in the building from the 2 bedrooms should be about $700K and above. The top floors will command higher and the 4 bedrooms should be up to $1.5M and could go higher as the floors goes up.

Pricing is in Naira to protect the developer and investors as cost of building materials are increasing at almost 100% and the depreciation of Naira to the Dollar is another factor to consider.
