Azuri Peninsula: New residential opportunity at Eko Atlantic’s Marina District
In the exclusive Marina District of Eko Atlantic City, a new world class development is evolving with determination to give luxury and urban lifestyle a new definition in what has been described as a premier residential destination. It offers opportunity for living, working and leisure.
Known as Azuri Peninsula, this development promoted by Eko Development Nigeria Limited—a real estate development company dedicated to creating luxury residences of the highest specification—is a monumental project that will be sitting on a combined land area measuring 127,507 square metres to be built and delivered in three phases.
The first phase of the project with a 36-month construction/completion plan has 13,000 square metres gross buildable area (GBA) and 130 square metres built up area where 120 luxury apartments, 12 super-luxury simplexes, two superb villas and seven town-house apartments would be nestled.
“Azuri Peninsula offers a unique and luxury urban lifestyle by the delightful marina-front of the Marina District in the vibrant new Eko Atlantic City”, Ihiene Ogolo, Eko Development’s Chief Responsibility Officer, explained to a select group of journalists on tour of the facility recently.
The location of the Peninsula in the Marina District, considered the most exclusive in Eko Atlantic City, explains the developer’s choice of a brand name that resonates uncommon luxury and lifestyle and, according to Ogolo, Azuri combines the African word ‘Zuri’ meaning, beautiful, while Azure suggests a radiant sea.
The Peninsula will be delivered as two and four-bedroom luxury apartments, six-bedroom simplexes and seven-bedroom villas arranged across marina town-house apartments and three outstanding residential towers known as ‘Zuna’ (meaning abundance), ‘Orun’ (meaning heaven) and ‘Oban’ (meaning king), each rising 26 floors.
“This development is taking into consideration lifestyle and ambience. The lifestyle is created by its location. The location is between the Atlantic Ocean and the Lagos channel; we are also creating a marina and so you have three water bodies that create a lifestyle and ambience”, Ogolo enthused.
For the ultimate comfort of the prospective residents of this Peninsula which has already seen about 80 percent buyer-interest, there will be a five star marina and yacht club with an attractive promenade, high-end shops, cafes and a wealth of amenities.
Eko Atlantic , a city frequently touted as Africa’s Dubai, is a layout of 10 districts of which the Marina is one and the Business District is Another. Though Eko Peninsula is planned as a mix-use development that will be 92 percent residential and 8 percent retail, its closeness to the Business District complements its concept as a live, work and play destination.
In line with the highest standards of contemporary living, all apartments in the Peninsula will be fully-fitted with state-of-the-art kitchens and luxury bathrooms, air conditioning and broadband terraces and balconies. The ‘Orun’ and ‘Oban’ Towers will offer the ultimate in luxury living and these include a private gym and swimming pool as well as stunning, panoramic views of the environment.
The Peninsula also promises residents access to 24-hour concierge service, a gym, two squash courts, and a café. These come in addition to a relaxing sauna, games, screening rooms and a children’s playroom. Outside, residents will have access to a private outdoor swimming pool, children’s playground, garden-piazzas and valet parking.
In the Marina District itself, there will be high-end retail outlets, international standard restaurants and an abundant range of amenities, all of which will establish Azuri Peninsula as a premier residential destination.
Eko Atlantic’s high-standard infrastructure, which includes managed and maintained utilities, will guarantee an exceptionally comfortable lifestyle. A well-planned road system, up-to-date ferry service and helicopter service linking the city to Lagos, will ensure that Eko Atlantic is the best-connected city in West Africa.
