OFFPLAN PROPERTIES AND THE BENEFITS OF INVESTING IN THEM

An off-plan property simply means a property that is planned but has not been built or, if building has started, has not been completed. They are properties that are under development and construction. Buying off plan means committing to purchasing a property before it has been completely built. Both residential
and commercial real estate can be bought off plan. Often this means making a commitment from project conception i.e., from when the property is just a sketch on paper or a 3D image on computer. However, this is not always the case as an off-plan property can also be one on its way to being built: maybe the foundation has just been completed or it’s yet to be plastered.

When you buy an off-plan property, it means that you are buying into the concept and design of the development with hopes that the project execution process will be a favorable one and the end product matches your expectation. You are also trusting that the developer has the values declared or portrayed to deliver on agreed deliverables. Building a house that can stand the test of time requires great precision and accuracy from top-notch professionals who can be held accountable. The dearth of such professionals and the rigors of building a house from scratch can sometimes be a tall order for an individual. For homebuyers who do not wish to go through the rigors of building from scratch, the off-plan property
becomes a preferred option. It offers the opportunity for some personalization while taking away the stress of building by yourself.

BENEFITS OF INVESTING IN AN OFFPLAN PROPERTY

1. Flexible payment plans: instead of paying a lumpsum, off plan properties allow you to stagger your payments in a manner that ensures you maintain your liquidity throughout the construction period. Most developers charge only a 10% – 20% initial deposit and permit the home buyers to settle the 90% during construction which takes between 24 and 36 months. This eases the burden of raising capital, allowing you to plan your finances.

2. Capital appreciation: Off plan properties offer capital gains. How? You will be buying the property at its present price and because real estate increases in value over time, your home or your apartment will increase in value as construction progresses. By completion, your residence will be valued at a higher price than you bought it for, granting you significant capital gains. Furthermore, many off-plan developments tend to be situated in neighborhoods that are just developing and such developments tend to enhance the overall value of the neighborhood
especially if they are large. This type of scenario leads to appreciation in the value of properties in that neighborhood with the result that by the time the development is being completed the value of the properties within same tend to be significantly higher than the value at which they were bought off plan thus resulting into capital appreciation.

3. It is brand new: Off plan means you’ll eventually be owning a brand-new home, built with best-in-class materials, modern-day fixtures, and with up-to-date architectural provisions such as smart home capabilities or energy efficient appliances. Everything being brand new means you will not incur any maintenance costs in the immediate future, thereby saving you costs in the long
run. In case you are buying property as an investment, brand new homes also attract tenants who are often willing to pay a premium to live in new spaces which translates to more rental income.

4. Custom finishes: Another benefit of off plan purchases is the possibility it creates for one to make modifications to the building design at the early stages of construction and to also have finishes or building components specified to one’s taste and preferences. Developers can allow changes in the unit layout, and you can determine finishes in advance, such as your home’s color scheme, fittings, and your preferred type of furniture if applicable.

5. Choice Location: A further benefit conferred by off plan property purchase is the opportunity to pick one’s preferred location within a particular development especially if one is able to key into the development at an early stage. This is as opposed to the case of an already built-up property that has its location already fixed. This means that one can decide exact location of unit, floor or wing of whichever property he intends to buy.

Finally, one of the best benefits of purchasing off-plan properties from the Periwinkle Brand is that notwithstanding the likely appreciation in property values over the construction period, prices tend to be locked in at the level at which the buyer enters into the transaction. This simply means that instalments made on any of our properties bears no additional interest even as construction
progresses and value increases.

Whether you are looking to buy property as an investment venture or as a homeowner, off plan developments are a great option. What you need is a trustworthy and reliable developer that will enable you realize these gains and we do hope the information herein is enough to convince you it’s well worth a
try!

Investors Are Making Millions from Shortlet and Rental Options in Victoria Island

The Real Estate market remains one of the safest and surest industries to invest in with a guaranteed return. In Nigeria, real estate is a serious business, with a big goldmine in the rental and shortlet options, and despite the unsteady economy, and rising inflation, many investors continue to smile at the banks.

However, in spite of this, it is very important to pay attention to the property location as this determines how much returns can be guaranteed. There are several locations where you can be rest assured of a good return on investment, one of which is Victoria Island, Lagos. With most major Nigerian and international corporations headquartered here, Victoria Island is one of Nigeria’s busiest centers of banking and commerce. The Island is filled with stylish nightclubs, bars, posh hotels, fine restaurants that serve both European cuisine and Nigerian staples, the Muson center and Terra Kulture arts center. It is not just the main entertainment, business and financial hub of Lagos state, Nigeria, it is one of the most exclusive and expensive areas to reside in.

To take advantage of the numerous opportunities that Victoria island has to offer, Periwinkle Condos Limited is introducing Atlantis Tower, a premium high rise condo, to savvy investors ready to enjoy the city’s benefits and experience what sophisticated living truly means.

Atlantis Tower is a 16 floors architectural beauty that is set to redefine the expectations of condo living in Nigeria to match Canadian and American standards. It consists of 1, 2 and 3 bedrooms condos, maisonettes and a penthouse. It is strategically located on Bishop Aboyade Cole street, a calm and serene area, away from the craziness of Lagos traffic, but easily accessible to major areas like Ikoyi and Lekki. With world class amenities, recreational facilities and 24hrs concierge services, Atlantis Tower gives a clear meaning of the Live, Work and Play Lifestyle.

A Fresh Buy-to-Let Opportunity

What makes the Atlantis Tower more attractive is that very few options in Victoria Island can match its features and amenities. The Condos provide investors with a fresh opportunity to capitalize on the lack of available quality short-term rental accommodation in Victoria Island, Lagos. With the flexibility to rent nightly, weekly, monthly (or longer), the 1 & 2 bedroom condos   are perfect for private and corporate tenants who are searching for an alternative to hotel accommodation with soaring room rates.

You can choose to rent out your condo full time, or simply during the periods of the year when you are not using it personally. With the help of on-site concierge management in place to take care of the day-to-day management on your behalf.

With that said, let’s show you a breakdown of your investment and how long it will take to recoup your initial cost:

HOW THE US CONSULATE HAS IMPACTED IT’S IMMEDIATE ENVIRON AND EKO ATLANTIC CITY AS A WHOLE

Eko Atlantic officially Nigerian International Commerce City, also known as Eko Atlantic City, is the new coastal city, being built on Victoria Island, Adjacent to Lagos, Nigeria to solve the chronic shortage of Real Estate in the world’s fastest-growing megacity. It is a focal point for investors capitalizing on rich development growth based on massive demand and a gateway to emerging markets of the continent.

       The US Consulate held its Groundbreaking Ceremony on the 31st of March, 2022 which housed many dignitaries from all over the world, and this officially marked the beginning of the modern consulate building. Moreso, the date for the commencement of construction of this project is yet to be released, but more so, it already has a good number of impacts in Eko Atlantic City, which include;

  1. The new consulate is said to provide a modern space for the largest consular operation in Africa, including improved public-facing interview and waiting areas,
  2. Upon completion, it is said to be the ‘Largest U.S. Consulate in the world, demonstrating the importance of the relationship between the United States and Nigeria,
  3. It has made Eko Atlantic city more desirable and will most likely spur other private investors to equally give this location another look,
  4. Due to its significance, it has given more credence to its immediate environment where it’s situated (phase 3), hence making it the most expensive and secured location amongst other locations in Eko Atlantic City.
  5. The placement of the US Consulate General office in Eko Atlantic city is expected to attract more major companies/businesses and foster business growth in the area as most of the buildings are residential,
  6. The project will directly benefit the Nigerian people, through the employment of approximately 2,500 Nigerian citizens, including engineers, architects, artisans, construction workers and admin staff, who will learn new technical skills and safety awareness that will help distinguish them in the local market and the likes.

With the above mentioned and more, you will agree with me that Eko Atlantic City is one of the most sought after in the heart of Lagos, as it has won the hearts of many due to its enormous features, not to mention its eccentric facilities.

Chiedu Nweke – Top 10 CEOs of 2021

 

Barrister Chiedu Nweke is managing director/CEO, Periwinkle Residences Limited, where he oversees the design, development, construction and administration of a wide variety of major premium and luxury housing developments and residential complexes in Nigeria. Crossing over from the courts to building castles, he drives the vision to build the most trusted brand in the real estate business in Nigeria.

He brings to the company’s leadership three decades of experience and expertise that cut across law practice, real estate development, investment, transportation and logistics, oil waste management and regulatory services.

Periwinkle Residences specializes in the development of premium, luxury residential properties, applying innovation and creativity to create long-term value for investors and partners. Its mandate is to provide secure housing and investment solutions to clients.

Nweke founded and shaped the company to run on the path of honesty, trust and customer satisfaction – which has paid off. In a space of four years, the company has become a market leader, setting the standard in Nigeria’s real estate industry.

His focus is the premium market in line with the conviction that providing clients with life-changing experiences is more important than building homes. In line with the market focus, Nweke established a subsidiary company – Periwinkle Condos Limited with the mission of providing luxury homes and investment opportunities to clients.

The results are stunning, which have distinguished him as a disruptor in the real estate business where his group controls a large share of the lifestyle estates market.

The company’s Periwinkle Lifestyle Estate is a lifestyle community with magnificent structures designed to match the highest expectations of comfort and luxury. Its Oxygen Apartments are the newest development in the exclusive lifestyle and serene water view of Lekki Phase 1 in Lagos.

Ixora Homes present unique residences that combine class, style, quality and innovation – all in the bid to match the taste and style of the high-end market.

Other development projects include magnificent villa homes designed to achieve perfect homes for elite living. The Chateau D’Avenue is another signature project located in the exclusive Periwinkle Lifestyle Estate.

From the onset, Nweke set out on a clear mission to create a ‘live, work and play environment in reference to which ‘Lifestyle Estate’ was named. The idea is that residents don’t have to go far to get to a shopping mall, church school or playground. He designed everything to be within easy reach.

“I imagined that people who will live here won’t need to go too far to do their jogging, bicycle riding or whatever recreational activity they want. We’ve provided everything within the estate,” he said.

Nweke refers to himself as a project man in reference to his passion for creating new developments. That precisely is what led him to cross over from law to real estate.

His landing place was dredging business – where he made his mark as one of the pioneers of massive dredging in Lagos. His final cross over point was Lakowe Lakes in 2009 where he was hired by Golf Estate developers for dredging.

He recalls that “when we were about to conclude the Lakowe project, the beauty of it all, I told myself that this is an opportunity for me to do something in real estate in Lagos. And that was how we applied to the Lagos state government for a concession that led to Orange Island, then Periwinkle.”

His Periwinkle Estate emerged from reclamation of wasteland with lots of shanties that nobody imagined could become the Periwinkle of the present day. According to him, Orange Island and Periwinkle emerged from the backwaters of Elegushi, Ikate water logged shanties, marking a turning point that led to the development of a multi-billion naira prime real estate that stands today as a choice destination.

The estate, he said, has afforded his company the opportunity to express itself in terms of infrastructure, structural construction and the style of buildings on display.

Periwinkle Residence has a number of ground-breaking real estate projects to its name across Nigeria. Nweke is promising that many more are in the process of rollout.

His focus remains the provision of premium and first-class residences that feed clients and investors with premium smart homes in upscale neighbourhoods crafted for the ultra-modern lifestyle.

Nweke holds a degree in law and also obtained a Master’s degree in law LLM from Lagos State University. He advanced further to a PhD programme at the University of Nigeria.

Prior to venturing into the real estate industry, he was managing director/CEO, West African Waste Management Limited, an oil waste treatment company servicing major oil and gas companies. He was also a key contributor to both Shenker Shipping Limited and Lintel Shipping Limited.

He is a member of several professional bodies and sits on the board of several multinational companies.

He is quite optimistic about sustaining the growth and prosperity of the real estate industry well into the future. However, he considers the government’s role quite critical in terms of providing the necessary conducive environment for sustained investment inflow into the industry.
