Lagos continues to dominate Nigeria’s real estate landscape in 2025, with fresh investment opportunities emerging across key districts. For investors, the dynamics of land value appreciation, urban migration, and infrastructural upgrades make this a pivotal time to reposition portfolios.

One standout trend is the expansion of the Lekki-Epe corridor, bolstered by infrastructure like the Lekki Deep Sea Port and Dangote Refinery, which are driving residential and commercial demand. Land prices in Ibeju-Lekki, once underestimated, have seen over 200% appreciation in the past two years, a significant upward trajectory. And it shows no signs of slowing down.

Another shift is the rise of vertical development in high-demand areas like Ikoyi, Victoria Island, and Lekki Phase 1. And this is because there is a continuous demand for luxury and mid-tier apartments. Developers are leveraging mixed-use projects such as Eko Atlantic and Orange Island, which offer both prestige and return on investment.

We must not forget a notable mention, which is the surge in smart and sustainable housing particularly in areas like Ajah and Sangotedo, where developers are responding to buyer preferences for solar energy, efficient drainage, and green spaces.

As government pushes for urban renewal and digitized land documentation, transactional transparency is improving, encouraging diaspora investment and larger institutional interest.

What is the Bottom line? Lagos real estate is not slowing down, it’s evolving. For forward-thinking investors, now is the time to align with these trends.
