According to a forecast by wealth intelligence firm, Wealth-X, the number of High Net Worth Individuals with more than $30 million in investable assets will rise by 95,000 over the next decade. This means every year, there will be more people who want and can afford luxury properties.
Like in several real estate markets of the world where economic growth is shooting up or at least stable, demand for luxury real estate is rising in Nigeria, and so are the prices.
Here are the lists of Top 5 Luxurious Estates in Nigeria:
1. Banana Island in Lagos (Lagos State) – N450Million ($2.81Million)
A 3-bedroom apartment typically sells for N100Million ($625,000) here and N450Million ($2.81Million) for a 5-bedroom house. Apparently, due to the cost of acquiring properties, rental properties are very popular, with rent for a 3-bedroom apartment even going as high as N10Million ($63,000) per annum.
A man-made island in Lagos State, Nigeria that is slightly curved in shape like a banana, Banana Island is located in the Lagos Lagoon. It has one of the highest density of millionaires within its boundaries. Including billionaire Globacom Chairman Mike Adenuga, daughter of a former president of Nigeria, and Iyabo Obasanjo are proud owners of property on the island.
