There was a time Lekki Phase 1 was sand and swamp, and people told you Ikoyi was too far from everything. The people who bought land then are the reason their grandchildren do not worry about money.
The chance always looks the same on the way in. Bush, dust, a long drive. It only starts looking like wealth after the price has moved past you.
This is not an estate off an unnamed road. Alárò City is a 2,000-hectare city developed by Rendeavour, the largest new-city builder in Africa, inside the Lekki Free Zone. Factories in the industrial zone are running. The roads are tarred and lit, the power and water are in, and Wellington College International is under construction on site, with its first academic session commencing September 2027.
What is left to decide is whether your name is on a title before the next price review.
His Excellency Babajide Sanwo-Olu toured Alárò City and saw what most Lagosians still have not: a working industrial, commercial and residential city inside the Lekki Free Zone. Watch the tour before you decide anything.
Alárò City sits inside a state-prioritised free zone, with government infrastructure and policy behind it. The apartment blocks above are an earlier phase, already built.
Alárò City is developed by Rendeavour, Africa’s largest private urban land developer, in partnership with the Lagos State Government. This is not their first city. It is their seventh.
Their flagship, Tatu City outside Nairobi, has been running for years with homes, schools, factories and residents. It is the same model, a decade further along, and it is the reason to treat Alárò City as a plan that has already worked somewhere else.
Here in Lagos, the companies that have taken positions include BUA Group, Mantrac Caterpillar, Ariel Foods, Kenol and SANA Group. Manufacturers commit before homeowners do, and they do their own due diligence first.
Take the emotion out of it and the fundamentals still stand on their own.
Roads, power, water, drainage and a governed masterplan, all in place before you build rather than promised after you pay.
Plots sit within the Lekki Free Zone with registered NEPZA title. No omo-onile, no family land dispute, no demolition notice years later.
Businesses get tax holidays and duty-free import of equipment and raw materials, which is why manufacturers keep taking space here.
The Lekki Deep Sea Port, the Dangote Refinery, the new international airport and the Coastal Highway are all neighbours in this corridor. The jobs they create become your tenants.
Wellington College International, one of Britain's most respected school names, is being built on site and opens for its first academic session in September 2027. That alone changes who is willing to live here.
From US$180 per sqm, 35% down and 18 months to complete. Priced in dollars, so the naira's next move does not erode what you hold.
Residential, commercial and industrial districts sit inside the same masterplan. Your office, the factory that employs your tenants, the shops, the schools and the pitches are all within the city rather than an hour down the expressway.
Two ways in: buy a serviced plot and build what you want on it, or buy a three-bedroom apartment off-plan and have it built for you. Either way, this is the standard the masterplan is designed around. Somewhere your mother can visit without you apologising for the road, and a house your children fly home to from London, Toronto, Houston or Dubai.

An earlier phase is already built and standing, with the pool, courts and pitches in use. The units for sale now are a new phase, sold off-plan and completing in July 2029: three-bedroom apartments of 117.5 sqm in the same scheme.

Who is building them
The apartments are built by Universal Homes, an award-winning residential developer with British origins, under a joint venture with Rendeavour: Rendeavour provides the land, Universal Homes builds the homes. Their stated mission is mass-produced, investment-grade affordable housing built around community.
They are not new to this, and not new to this site. The earlier phase at Alárò City is finished: the blocks in the photographs on this page are theirs. Beyond Lagos, Universal Homes and its sister company Unity Homes have handed over roughly 2,000 homes, with around 1,500 more under construction, across a track record of more than ten years, much of it at Tatu City, Rendeavour’s city outside Nairobi. The same partnership, doing the same thing, in another country.
This phase is sold off-plan: you are buying a unit that is yet to be built, for completion in July 2029, on the delivery terms set out in the sale agreement. The photographs on this page show the completed earlier phase, not the units being sold. Ask on WhatsApp for the build programme, the payment schedule and the delivery terms in writing before you commit.
Yes. Most of our diaspora clients handle everything remotely, from plot selection through allocation, documentation and payment, then inspect on their next trip home. We can also do a video walkthrough of your specific plot.
Plots sit within the Lekki Free Zone and are issued with registered NEPZA title documentation, backed by a governed masterplan. Ask for the full documentation pack and have your own lawyer review it. We would rather you did.
No. Development guidelines and timelines apply and are shared in writing before you commit, so you know exactly what you are agreeing to.
Built and building. Roads, power, water and drainage are in, and factories in the industrial zone are operating. Wellington College International is under construction on site and opens in September 2027. An earlier phase of the Universal One apartments is built and standing. The units for sale now are a new phase, sold off-plan, completing July 2029.
Resale and transfer are possible under the stated terms. Most investors hold through the infrastructure build-out, which is where the appreciation has historically been. We will go through the specifics with you on a call.
Because a dollar-denominated asset holds its value through naira swings. It is one of the main reasons diaspora buyers pick Alárò over naira-priced estates.
