the owner invites experienced developers and institutional partners to propose viable development concepts. potential uses include low‑to‑mid rise residential apartments, luxury townhomes, or mixed‑use residential/commercial development --- subject to planning approvals. the sharing formula and detailed commercial terms will be negotiated based on the proposed scheme, financials and development responsibilities.
suggested jv structures (examples)
- land‑for‑equity: owner contributes land (valued at ₦2.5m/sqm) in exchange for a negotiated equity share of completed units or net project profits.
- build‑and‑share: developer finances and constructs; net proceeds are split per agreed revenue share after cost recovery.
- design‑build‑operate with transfer: developer builds and operates for a defined period with profit/rent share arrangements and defined handover or sale terms.
- hybrid structures: combination of upfront facilitator fees, staged payments and equity share to balance risk and liquidity.
facilitator fee
- stated facilitator fee: 10% of the land value.
- based on current valuation (₦2.5m/sqm x 1,800 sqm = ₦4.5bn), the facilitator fee at 10% would be ₦450,000,000 --- exact payment mechanics to be agreed between facilitator, owner and developer.
