The Design

Our primary aim is to create a thriving twenty-first century city in West Africa starting with the reclamation of around nine square kilometres of development land from the sea. Eko Atlantic will draw wide-scale residential, commercial, financial and tourist development to ease the burden on exhausted infrastructure and overpopulation in adjacent Victoria Island, now the commercial centre of Lagos. A richly designed master plan for Eko Atlantic combines an impressive blend of aesthetic beauty and seamless practicality to develop seven diverse areas within the project area. They will share the same high standards of urban planning, infrastructure and architectural excellence. The Financial District with towering skyscrapers will attract multinational companies, especially in the oil and gas industries. It will become home to many of Africa’s banks, financial institutions and business leaders. The new city will feature tree-lined boulevards, waterways, manicured gardens, elegant plazas, three marinas and a stunning ocean front promenade. A city in which to live and work. From the outset our vision has been to help Lagos transform itself into a successful mega city-state of 25 million people by the year 2015. Our evolving design plans have already provided an effective marine engineering solution to stop further land erosion along Bar Beach in Victoria Island. This is where newly reclaimed land has begun to emerge: land you can buy. Imagine a city with its own independent service island to supply round-the-clock electricity, clean water and sewage distribution. Imagine a safe city where there are no street vendors, no noisy motorcycles and no traffic chaos. Imagine Eko Atlantic.
