House types include two bedroom apartment at a cost N9.8 million, three bedroom apartment (N11million), while four bedroom terrace duplexes would be sold at N32 million.

Senior officials of the firm disclosed that the proximity of the estate to investments at the LFTZ will offer access to an enormous consumer market across West Africa, as it is being developed as a logistics hub for the entire sub-region.
