Construction in Lagos is changing not just the skyline of Lagos, but also the lives of its residents. For example, Nigeria’s first suspended bridge, also known as the Lekki Ikoyi Bridge, is not only a marvel to behold, but also a popular watering hole for many Lagosians. Further constructions such as man-made islands (Orange Island and Eko Atlantic), are also completely transforming the landmass and shape of the city.
And construction is not slowing down any time soon. With the number of buildings, developments and infrastructural projects currently underway, in 2016 the Lagos streetscapes and skyline will drastically morph into something new.
Here’s a very interesting list compiled by Future Lagos and Lamudi on the buildings and developments to look out for in Lagos this 2016:
1. Orange Island
Estimated completion date: 2018/2019This ambitious real estate project, classified under the new neighborhoods, has been christened as Orange Island.
The development, which is already underway, is estimated to cover 150 hectares of land in Lekki, Lagos State. Orange Island, which is similar to Eko Atlantic City project, is a newly berth planned city on the Lagos lagoon, estimated to cost N40 billion and to accommodate 25,000 people.
