One of Nigeria’s foremost real estate development firms, Meritabode Nigeria Limited, is set to unveil a new premium mixed-use development, Emerald Haven, located along the fast-growing Lekki-Epe Expressway corridor of Lagos State.

Scheduled for official launch on April 29, 2025, Emerald Haven is a smart, sustainably planned estate spanning 25 acres. The development will feature 150 plots, with 100 plots open for immediate development. Inspired by the modern elegance of the Dubai Waterfront, the estate is strategically positioned between two key roadways: the existing Lekki-Epe Expressway to the north and the proposed Coastal Road to the south—offering seamless accessibility and strong investment potential.

Speaking at a press briefing to announce the launch, Meritabode CEO, Oludotun Oseni, described Emerald Haven as the result of over 13 years of industry experience and a direct response to the growing demand for well-structured, inclusive communities in Lagos.

“Emerald Haven is not just another estate—it’s a bridge between the rich and the poor, designed to accommodate everyone,” Oseni said. “It will be a well-zoned, self-sustaining city within a city. Whether you’re working class, a developer, or an investor, this project is for you.”

He noted that the estate will include residential, commercial, creative, and investment-driven zones, allowing buyers to build or resell units, and providing an opportunity for both lifestyle and financial returns. The development is designed to foster a ‘live-work-play’ ecosystem, where residents can access key services and leisure without leaving the estate.

Emerald Haven will feature essential infrastructure and lifestyle facilities including recreational centres, places of worship, banking halls, green parks, and health-conscious spaces, all delivered under the estate’s theme: Smart Living, Sustainable Design.

Oseni also highlighted the estate’s close proximity to major infrastructure projects such as the Lagos International Airport, Dangote Refinery, Lekki Free Trade Zone, and the proposed Fourth Mainland Bridge, all of which are expected to significantly boost the area’s appeal and long-term value.

“Security is a top priority at Emerald Haven,” he said. “The estate will have a gated entrance, round-the-clock security personnel, CCTV surveillance, perimeter fencing, and smart home technologies including high-speed internet—making it a truly future-ready community. This estate is being built for the discerning few who want more than just a place to live—it’s resort-style living in the new Lagos.”

At the launch event, veteran Nollywood actor and Meritabode brand ambassador, Jide Kosoko, affirmed the company’s integrity and development track record.

“This is not just another estate; it’s a prime investment opportunity. The location is gold, and the development is authentic. Nigerians shouldn’t miss out,” he said.

Renowned broadcaster and fellow brand ambassador Taiwo Akinsola echoed this sentiment.

“I’ve known Meritabode for over a decade and never seen them disappoint a client. I proudly associate with the brand,” she said.

Roseline Duruaku, Head of Operations, emphasized the company’s commitment to visionary development.

“Development must be intentional. We are building for the future—with sustainability, functionality, and beauty in mind.”

Victor Igbenoba, Sales Manager at Meritabode, added that the estate is designed to meet the needs of both owner-occupiers and investors—especially those in the diaspora looking for secure, high-value real estate.

“Emerald Haven is a dual-purpose estate. It’s perfect for individuals seeking a peaceful home, and for investors focused on capital appreciation. It’s timely, strategic, and built to meet current market demands,” he said.
