Nigeria’s First City With a Tech Valley Set to Open

A leading real estate company in Nigeria has announced the launching of one of its biggest projects, and the first in the country – ISIMI Lagos. The Project which is situated on 124 hectares of land on the Northside of the Lekki Peninsula in Lagos is quite significant in that it will be a confluence between technology, architecture and nature. Coined from a Yoruba word, “ISIMI” translates to peace of mind and true to its name, ISIMI Lagos according to its promoters is an ode to the peace of mind it promises to give its future residents and visitors.

“ISIMI Lagos will dramatically alter what we currently consider the norm in Lagos”, said LandWey CEO Mr. Olawale Ayilara. “It will be a living experience like none other. As soon as you walk in, you’ll just be able to feel your stress melt away.”

In character with the overarching theme of wellness, the city would adopt unorthodox means of commute; providing eco-friendly means of transportation such as hybrid electric vehicles and bicycles – and with the wide road networks within the city, transporting is a thrill. For more unconventional means of transport, the city sports a marina and a helipad, for residents who would rather fly or cruise.

One of the major attractions of the city is the Tech Valley, a spot for founders and investors to do their best work, says Mr. Ayilara who adds that “tech valley experience is to allow people to work on a short stay.”

“Staying in an environment like ISIMI enhances ideas. The tech valley has facilities that allow for short or long retreats.”

“It’ll allow people to stay as long as 3 months. It doesn’t feel like an office. People can invite investors there, instead of staying at hotels.” 

When will this be ready? ISIMI Lagos would be built in phases with the first phase to be ready in the next five months.

Landwey is known for innovative and disruptive housing solutions, understanding the clients’ needs and then surpassing their expectations. With each project, Landwey redefines what home should be, look like and feel like, and with Isimi Lagos, the organization is set to take “wellness” to an astronomical new level.
