Caterers Court: Where architecture breathes luxury, aesthetics

By virtue of its location, size and rich architecture which breathes luxury, quality and uncommon artistry, Caterer’s Court is the new destination for corporate individuals and organizations looking for homes where convenience blends with comfort.

An imposing edifice sitting on about 1.5 hectares of land stretching from the beginning to the end of Onitana Road in Ikoyi, Lagos. Caterer’s Court was developed by Afriland Properties Plc, a real estate investment and development firm.

It is a four-storey building comprising 30 well finished and spacious three-bedroom flats. Each of the rooms is ensuite, while the size of the parlour and the dining areas could compare with a town hall.

Conducting journalists round the facility recently, Meckson Innocent Okoro, Principal Partner, M.I.Okoro & Associates—a firm of estate surveyors and valuers, and a corporate estate agent—noted that in terms of size, location, luxury and aesthetics, Caterer’s Court remains unrivalled within its immediate upscale neighborhood.

These qualities, coupled with its proximity to Ikoyi Club Golf Course, he added, make the court a preferred destination for corporate organizations whose staffers love sports, especially golf.

As the lead marketing agent for this facility, M.I.Okoro & Associates assures prospective clients of good bargain and also value for their money. The company has good track record of excellent product packaging, robust client relationship and versatile, transparent estate agency practice.

Okoro said that Caterer’s Court  boasts state-of-the-art facilities, adding that each of the building’s six blocks marked A-F  has a lift and there are  36 units of boys quarters, one for each flat; an Olympic-size swimming pool with party facilities.  “Prospective tenants can hold their Christmas or other parties by the pool-side. There is a gym for relaxation and exercise, and already there are security personnel here to ensure that lives and property are safe”, he assured.

“The building is one of the foremost master-pieces in Old Ikoyi. The exterior has fine finishing with ceramic tiles and burnt bricks which adds to its aesthetic beauty and ensures durability. The concept is British with some level of modernization; it promises 24-hour power supply from the public mains to be complemented with stand-by two 2,000KVA generators”, he assured further.

In a nutshell, the flats have all en-suite bedrooms with built-in wardrobes and wide floors. Each flat has a balcony that can be reached via wide glass doors. All rooms have stylish casement windows and air conditioning. The kitchens have marble worktops, storage cabinets, gas cooker and microwave oven. The apartments also boast of water towers with water treatment plant.

Okoro maintained that the building is a super luxury, adding that whatever is needed to make this place not just livable but also beautiful have been provided, more so as it targets those who have taste for luxury, quality and aesthetics.

According to him, the building is for lease and not for outright sale, pointing out that the  minimum lease period  is two years and maximum of 10 years while each flat is in the market  for $65-70,000 or N10 million per annum.  “Our expectation is to get a corporate body that can take the whole building or three corporate bodies that can take 10 flats each”, he said.
