NIGERIA’S 5G OCEAN CITY INTRO
With the increase in 5G coverage worldwide, Nigeria has capitalized on the idea,
following in the footsteps of China, the US, and some European countries. Nigeria
has orchestrated the design of its own highly interconnected city. The implementation of 5G
will improve modern living for good and the possibilities are truly limitless.
It would also be the center of a rapidly changing Lagos metropolis. Ocean city
Lagos is set to transform the Lagos coastline into the world’s next 5G-powered hot spot.it
will be home to a futuristic commercial hub and trendy spectacular eco-friendly neighborhoods.
The new island city will also feature the most advanced medical facilities and technology,
arts, and entertainment facilities as well as a wide range of sporting facilities for
sports enthusiasts. It is said that at the very heart of the city will be the
tallest structure ever constructed in Africa. The city will boast of the finest luxuries
in residences and state-of-the-art commercial properties. The 380-hectare city will be home
to the finest gourmet restaurants, one-of-a-kind shopping experiences, world-class medical,
cultural, and sporting facilities held together by a high-tech transportation management system
that connects Ocean city to Lagos and the world either by air land, or sea.
Ocean City will be located on a man-made island just off the coast of Lagos on the
Atlantic Ocean and will be accessible by extension of the Ahmadou Bello way.
The extension will be a 7 kilometer long tolled road that complements the city’s transportation
Network from the Marine terminal to the short and medium-haul charter transportation flights.
This beautiful piece of real estate is said to be the hallmark of African technological aptness,
a real-life Wakanda you could say. So it is no doubt that as soon as the idea became feasible,
a boatload of investors stormed in eager to get a piece of the pie.
INVESTMENT The attention of domestic, continental, and
global investors in the Nigerian prime property market is currently trained on Ocean City Lagos.
The recently unveiled frontier-pushing location has been tipped by the global real estate giant,
Knight Frank, as the world’s next investment destination,
as it will combine Lagos’ characteristic vibrancy with island-paradise tranquility.
Its lavish promise has led to it being named “Jewel of the Atlantic”. It seeks,
among other things, to remake the Lagos oceanfront into the world’s next 5G-driven living, leisure,
and business environment, setting it apart from the already crammed Ikoyi, Victoria Island,
and Lekki Residential Scheme 1 districts. Set on 308 hectares reclaimed from the
Atlantic Ocean, Ocean City Island promises, among its attention-arresting landmarks, what
will be Africa’s tallest skyscraper. It will also be the location of the richest luxury residences,
trend-setting commercial hubs, extravagant neighborhoods, top-notch medical facilities,
a vast range of amenities for sports, arts, and entertainment-all in a single eco-friendly
neighborhood that offers a livability index compared to what is found in such locations
in the most developed parts of the world. Promoted by Ocean City Lagos Limited,
an affiliate of real sector big player, Sea Global Energy, Ocean City Lagos is a trailblazing
project developed to weld lavish architecture, daring engineering, environmental sensitivity,
and avant-garde infrastructure with futuristic recreational facilities.
Sea Global Energy, which has operated unblemished in Nigeria for 43 years, was granted reclamation
permission for 350 hectares from the Atlantic Ocean by the Federal Government in 2003.
With its promoter’s eco-friendly resume, Ocean City Island is designed as a self-sustaining
community with every lifestyle amenity or facility and strong sustainable environment credentials
with a strong focus on flora and fauna protection. Its exclusive reliance on the 5G network
uncomplicatedly indicates effective management of data collected from citizens and mechanical
devices, processed and analyzed to monitor as well as manage traffic and transport systems,
power and water supply networks and waste disposal among others
RESIDENTIAL DISTRICTS. Ocean city Lagos will comprise millions
of square feet of commercial, residential, and mix used space along with shops, restaurants,
public parks, centers for sports, medical and academic excellence.
The city is designed such that living there would automatically transform your daily life, nothing
will seem the same once you step into Ocean city. Located in Lagos, Ocean City Lagos occupies a
stretch between Kuramo Waters along the Peninsula, with land access provided via
an extension of Ahmadu Bello Way on Victoria Island and to be accessible by air and water
through the proposed Ocean City Airport and by water via the Ocean Cruise Terminal,
all offering comprehensive connection of its commercial, lifestyle and residential components
to other parts of Nigeria and the world. The carefully curated man-made island is
divided into five districts, with each devoted to specific or combined uses.
The Five Cowrie District, a commerce-specific section, is targeted at investors in sectors such
as financial services, logistics, hospitality, and urban solutions among others, and will offer
up-to-the-minute business infrastructure, host all strains of world-class events,
seamlessly mixing business with pleasure via its top-tier recreational amenities.
So a business can flourish with the equally flourishing amenities and leisure spots
Ocean City Lagos’ Adesola District is the proposed site of its transportation infrastructure,
notably the Ocean City Airport, and Cruise Terminal, and for land transportation that
provides a link with the rest of the world. This multi-billion dollar district will be
no doubt vital to the city which as earlier mentioned will be an island and transportation
to and from mainland Nigeria will be essential to the functionality of the city.
Its Aremu District will combine facilities for high-end shopping, arts, and over 20 sports
that include a football stadium, rowing, and equestrian courses with a variety of restaurants,
hip clubs, a theme park, beaches, and marinas. It will also be the location
of Ocean Medical City which will have, among its highlights, a world-class medical facility
providing specialist care in various areas and a hospital with between 1,000 and 1,500-bed spaces;
a university devoted to medical sciences and research with accommodation for staff and experts.
This district is probably the most important of the lot as it has a lot to do with the living
experience on a day-to-day basis, basically for permanent residents of Ocean City.
And last but certainly least is the Madaki District, a mixed-use location, will be
home to gleaming residential towers and provide exclusive access to next-level infrastructure,
while the Gladys District, a wholly residential location, will be home to dream ocean-front homes
and private marinas. This district will have a lot to do with the permanent residents of Ocean city
as well as the tourists who will commute everyday about this iconic city.
Nigeria has always been an aspiring nation with entrepreneurship deeply embedded in its DNA and
ventures such as Ocean City only go further to prove that Nigeria is getting better and better
and what it knows how to do best and that is development,
the feasibility of a sub-Saharan country constructing an entire island from scratch
as a real estate project would have stirred a few laughs years ago but fast forward to 2022
and the whole thing is being almost entirely funded by private developers. That’s the force
of progress. If you enjoyed this video please leave a like and also don’t forget to subscribe
