Detached duplex for sale
Newly Built 5-Bedroom Fully Detached Duplex
Banana Island. Newly Built. Fully Detached. G+3 Floors. Cinema Room. Rooftop Lounge Off the Master Suite. C of O. Two Units. $2,600,000. This Is the Definitive Lagos Address. And There Are Only Two of Them. The problem Every Lagos professional who has reached the top tier of their career has had a version of the same private conversation. Not with anyone else. With themselves. Usually on a flight back to Lagos. Usually looking out the window at the city below --- the lagoon, the island, the lights --- and doing a quiet, honest inventory of the gap between what they have built professionally and where they actually live. The title is senior. The responsibilities are significant. The decisions that pass through your hands every week would be remarkable to anyone who observed them from the outside. And yet. The home does not reflect any of it. Not in a dramatic way. The compound is fine. The building is decent. The neighbourhood is acceptable. But "acceptable" is the word that sits in the back of the mind like a low-grade alarm --- the signal that the residential chapter has not yet caught up to the professional one. There is one address in Lagos where that alarm goes quiet. One island. One category of home. One title that --- when you say it at a dinner, on a call, in a profile --- requires no further explanation anywhere in the world. Banana Island. The agitation Here is what operating at the apex of Lagos professional life at the wrong address costs --- beyond the practical inconveniences of commute and landlord management. It costs context. The home you live in is the environment that produces the recovery, the thinking, and the presence that your career demands. It is where your children form their first impressions of what their parents built. It is where the informal conversations that precede the formal decisions happen. It is what international colleagues, visiting partners, and board members see when they visit Lagos and you host. A home that is merely acceptable produces a version of all of those things that is merely acceptable. Banana Island produces something different. The controlled access. The managed island environment. The resident profile --- the country's most senior executives, diplomats, multinational heads, and family wealth that has operated at this level for generations. The physical environment that was planned, built, and maintained at a standard that no other address in Lagos has replicated. The professionals who have been living on Banana Island for the last decade are not more talented than you. They are not significantly wealthier in career earnings. They made one decision --- at some point, in response to the same private conversation you have been having --- that placed them in the correct environment for the phase of their life they had reached. And now you are looking at two newly built, fully detached, five-bedroom duplexes on that island. C of O. Cinema. Rooftop lounge. Pool. $2.6M. There are two of them. The solution Two newly built, fully detached 5-bedroom duplexes on Banana Island, Ikoyi. Certificate of Occupancy. G+3 floors --- ground floor through Level 3 --- designed with a floor plan architecture that has not appeared in any other residential listing in this portfolio. $2,600,000 per unit. Here is what four floors of Banana Island living actually delivers: Ground floor --- the social heart of the house. A massive living room that sets the register for every person who enters. A fully fitted kitchen. A pantry. A guest toilet. This floor is where the household receives --- guests, clients, family --- in a space that was sized for exactly that function. Not a reception area adapted from a lounge. A room designed to receive. Level 1 --- the second living world. A spacious family lounge --- separate from the ground floor social spaces. A cinema room with dedicated AV capacity. An office space --- not a desk in a bedroom, a room whose function is defined by its architecture. A guest room and guest bathroom. And a second kitchen on this floor. This means the upper levels of the house are not dependent on the ground floor kitchen for function. The family's private floors --- Level 1 through Level 3 --- operate with the same infrastructure completeness as the social ground floor. The household is not a hierarchy of access. It is a stack of fully equipped living environments. Level 2 --- three massive en-suite bedrooms. Three bedrooms. All en-suite. All described in the developer's own words as massive. In a fully detached duplex on Banana Island, "massive" is not a marketing modifier. It is a proportional description of what 500sqm of land on a planned island permits a developer to deliver when they are not compromising on space. Three adults --- or two children and a parent --- wake up on Level 2 to private bathrooms and rooms that do not require furniture compromise. The layout breathes. Level 3 --- the master suite and the rooftop. The master bedroom occupies the top floor. It is en-suite. It has a walk-in closet. And directly adjacent to it --- not separated by a staircase, not accessed through a common corridor --- is a rooftop lounge area. This is not a shared rooftop. It is the master suite's private outdoor extension. The morning coffee before the calls begin. The evening decompression after the meetings end. The Lagos skyline and lagoon from the top of a fully detached building on Banana Island, accessible from your bedroom without leaving your floor. Swimming pool. Your pool. Your compound. Your terms. Banana Island at 7 AM on a Sunday is quiet in a way Lagos almost never is. The pool on this island, in this compound, at that hour, is the specific experience of living at an address that has separated itself from the city it exists within. Boys' Quarters. Your domestic staff has dedicated private quarters. Your home's spatial integrity and your family's privacy remain intact permanently. The security infrastructure is layered, not minimal. Security gate. Perimeter fencing. Electric fence. Burglar proof. CCTV surveillance. Intercom. Fire safety. This is not a list of features. It is an institutional security architecture appropriate to an address whose resident profile has required exactly this level of protection for decades. The island has controlled vehicle access. The building adds perimeter, electric, surveillance, and communication layers on top of that. The environment your family lives in is secured at multiple independent levels simultaneously. 24-hour power. Prepaid meter. Borehole. Treated water. High-speed internet. The utility infrastructure is complete, independent, and confirmed. Power is continuous. Water is treated and stored. Internet is high-speed. The building does not require you to manage its basic operational infrastructure. It manages itself. Certificate of Occupancy. The title is a C of O --- the most individually registered, buyer-named title instrument in Lagos land law. It is issued in the name of the current owner. When you purchase, it transfers to you. There is no derivation chain, no upgrade process, no post-purchase application to initiate. The title work is done. Your solicitor verifies it. The transaction proceeds. $2,600,000 per unit --- approximately ₦3,564,000,000 at current exchange rates. The dollar denomination is confirmed. The naira equivalent reflects the current exchange rate and fluctuates. The asset does not. A fully detached, newly built, G+3 duplex on Banana Island with C of O, cinema, rooftop lounge, pool, BQ, 24-hour power, and a layered security infrastructure --- denominated in dollars --- is a naira hedge that has no equivalent in the residential property portfolio. The asset holds its dollar value regardless of what the naira does between now and your exit. Two units available. Not a development of twenty. Not a block of identical apartments. Two fully detached duplexes --- each self-contained, each with its own compound, pool, and BQ, each with a C of O --- on Banana Island. When they are gone, they are gone. There is no next phase. There is no similar offering coming to market. The island is finite. The inventory is two. Banana Island does not flood. The island was planned, graded, and drained as part of its original development infrastructure. The drainage systems were designed before the first building was built --- not retrofitted onto terrain. A fully detached building on Banana Island with residential levels from ground to Level 3 sits entirely above any flooding scenario that has affected any part of Lagos in recorded history.

The call to action Two units. Banana Island. $2.6M each. C of O. Newly built. Fully detached. The buyer for this property is not forming their view of Banana Island for the first time. They have been here for dinners, for meetings, for viewings that did not result in a purchase because the available product was not right. They understand what C of O on Banana Island means. They understand what a G+3 fully detached building with a private rooftop lounge off the master suite represents at this address. They are not browsing. They are deciding. One call.
