Inside Azuri: What residents stand to gain living in Marina District
Of the 10 districts in the expansive Eko Atlantic City, Marina District is the most exclusive and this is where Azuri Peninsula, a unique development that promises prospective residents luxury and urban lifestyle, is nestled.
A premier residential destination being promoted by Eko Development Nigeria Limited, Azuri is a monumental project sitting on 127,507 square metres of land with phased delivery targets. What await residents on completion of this development are luxury residences of the highest specification.
The location of Azuri at the marina-front of the Marina District explains the developer’s choice of a brand name that resonates uncommon luxury and lifestyle, combining the African word ‘Zuri’ meaning beautiful, with Azure which suggests ‘a radiant sea’.
The Peninsula is being delivered as two and four bedroom luxury apartments, six bedroom simplexes and seven bedroom villas arranged across marina townhouse apartments and three outstanding residential towers known as ‘Zuna’ (meaning abundance), ‘Orun’ (meaning heaven) and ‘Oban’ (meaning king), each reaching up to 30 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 we have three water bodies that create a lifestyle and an ambience”, an official of Eko Development explained.
The developer plans ultimate comfort and convenience of residents and so, 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 as an ultra-modern city is a layout of 10 districts of which the Marina is one and the Business District is another. Though Azuri is planned as a mixed-use development that will be 92 percent residential and 8 percent retail, its closeness to the Business District complements its conception as a live, work and play destination. Residents will benefit from this configuration and more.
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.
Azuri promises residents access to 24-hour concierge service, a gym, two squash courts, and a café. These will come in addition to a relaxing sauna, games, screening rooms and 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 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 the city is the best-connected in West Africa”, the official assured.
