Major
progress is being made on building the vast foundations
of the new city. The project has already made
substantial progress, leading us ever closer to opening
this new gateway into Africa.
Phase One of the New City
Eko Atlantic is evolving rapidly from a visionary design
concept into reality. The reclaimed land of Bar Beach on
Victoria Island, Lagos, is providing much needed
recreational space for the people of Lagos and their
families at weekends. Children are playing on sand which
would have been under metres of ocean just a year ago.
The Great Wall of Lagos is already protecting the newly
reclaimed land for the Business District.
Dredging is continuous and we sometimes move as much as
10,000m2 of sand each day. Sand-filling for phase
one was completed in April 2011. Well over two
million square metres of land had been reclaimed by the
first quarter of 2011 and is available for use.
Development on this land is expected to start before the
entire land reclamation phase has been completed.
