The developer and city planner of Eko Atlantic City, South Energyx Nigeria Limited, has unveiled the city’s first-phase development plan, which entails a 26-storey building, named the Azuri Peninsula containing 120 luxury apartments.
The firm also disclosed that one of its subsidiaries, Eko Development Company Limited, would manage and oversee the building development including the Azuri Peninsula, which it said is cited on the Marina District in Eko Atlantic City.
This was contained in a statement by the firm’s media specialist, Ms. Ibiene Ogolo, stating that with architecture provided by the award winning global design firm Gensler, Azuri Peninsula “offers the optimum place to live, work, play and invest”.
The statement said about 120 luxury apartments, 12 super-luxury simplexes and two superb villas as well as seven fine townhouse apartments, “make up the first phase, with a three-year completion programme”.
“Azuri Peninsula offers a unique and luxurious urban lifestyle by the delightful Marina-front of the Marina District in the vibrant new Eko Atlantic City.
“There will be a five-star Marina and yacht club with an attractive promenade, high-end shops, cafes and a wealth of amenities in a curated and sophisticated environment.
“The landmark scheme is also close to the business district in the new city, which is destined to be the new financial centre of Lagos. The developers behind the most luxurious residential destination of 2015 in Lagos, have carefully chosen a brand name that resonates,” the statement said.
It said the name Azuri Peninsula, combines the African word “Zuri” meaning beautiful, while Azure suggests a radiant sea.
“The first phase of this Marina-front project showcases exceptionally crafted two and four-bedroom luxury apartments, six-bedroom simplexes and seven-bedroom villas which are arranged across Marina townhouse apartments and three outstanding residential towers.
“The podium towers are carefully positioned to maximise views of the marina and garden-piazzas. Located on the ground floor are retail spaces while ample underground car parking is to be found on the lower ground level.
“Gensler’s exceptional panel of interior designers are creating spacious and elegant apartments with a selection of design palettes. Fulfilling the highest standards of contemporary living, all apartments will be fully-fitted with the finest materials, including state-of-the-art kitchens and luxurious bathrooms, district cooling air conditioning and broadband (which will also be provided throughout the city),” the company added.
