why this site is attractive
- osapa is a sought‑after lekki micro‑market with strong demand for premium residential product, boutique apartments and low‑rise luxury townhouses.
- site size (1,340 sqm) is well-suited for high-margin, medium-density developments (townhouse cluster, boutique apartment block, small mixed‑use).
- governor's consent in place reduces title transfer delays compared with raw consent issues; attractive to institutional developers who require clean documentation.
- flexible vendor stance allows creative jv structures that can accelerate entry and reduce upfront cash outlay.
highest‑and‑best‑use (recommended)
- boutique low-rise residential development: 6--12 luxury townhouses or ~20--40 high-end apartment units depending on far and approvals.
- small mixed‑use: ground-floor retail / offices with residential units above.
- serviced apartments / executive rental product for corporate/leisure demand.
- owner-occupier development or landbank for capital appreciation.
suggested jv structures (illustrative; vendor open to proposals)
1. land‑for‑equity (common)
- owner contributes land (valued at ₦800m) as equity; developer contributes capex and development management.
- equity split depends on capex requirement; common starting range: land‑owner 20--40% equity (negotiable).
- relocation premium handled as an additional cash payment or allocation of finished unit(s) to owner.
2. profit‑share jv (preferred by some owners)
- joint development agreement: profits split after cost recovery; owner receives relocation premium as pre‑approved cost or out of seller receipts.
- developer funds construction; owner receives agreed % of net profit (e.g., 30--50% depending on inputs).
3. sale + relocation fee
- straight sale at ₦800m plus negotiated relocation fee (cash or property). good for buyers who prefer ownership without jv complexity.
4. build‑and‑sell with owner buy‑in
- developer builds, owner given option to buy specific units at preferential rate as part of relocation arrangement.
note: exact structure, relocation mechanics and tax treatment to be agreed and reflected in term sheet.
key commercial considerations to agree early
- relocation premium: define whether relocation is cash, alternative property, or provision of agreed unit(s) in finished development; quantify cost and timing.
- valuation base: confirm the land valuation and whether vat, stamp duty, capital gains or other taxes apply.
- governance: management of project company, board composition, decision thresholds, appointment of contractors and operator.
- cost allocation & waterfall: clear definition of capital recovery, developer fees, promotion fee and profit waterfall.
- title and transfer mechanics: confirm how land contribution or sale will be effected given governor's consent.
