A real estate company based in Lagos, Pertinence, has inaugurated its long-anticipated signature estate project named, IRE.
A statement from the firm stated that the estate, which was inaugurated at the company’s corporate headquarters on June 23, 2022, was being constructed on 350 acres of land in Nigeria’s commercial city.
It read in part, “IRE, an estate occupying over 350 acres of land in Mowe along the Lagos-Sagamu Expressway, got its coinage from the first alphabets of Inhabit, Resort and Enterprise, being the three unique features of the project.”
The Co-founder of Pertinence Group, Mr. Wisdom Ezekiel, said the estate was designed to provide comfort, work-life balance and security for residents.
He said a good portion of the land had already been earmarked to drive commercial activities and to establish a resort within the estate.
He was quoted as saying, “Ire is basically where people can live, where people can relax and where people can work and make money. So, we have to inhabit a lot of building projects, a lot of landed properties to be acquired, and we are also building the first resort in Mowe.
“There is no resort centre in that axis at the moment. Mowe has about 1.4 million people living and working in the axis, and if they want to enjoy themselves, there’s nowhere to go. But now we are going to be having a very secure environment where they can go and enjoy themselves.
“Statistics have it that about 3.3 million people come to Mowe annually, especially because several churches have their camps in that area, as well as the NASFAT praying ground. So we expect to have over 30,000 visitors annually at the Ire resort.”
Ezekiel’s partner and Co-founder, Sunday Olorunsheyi, said the firm was working with banks in the development of the estate.
He said, “We are partnering with some banks to ensure land owners in IRE can have access to loans using their land documents. We have also partnered with a top financial institution to provide mortgages for interested customers.”
The firm stated that an official website for the project was inaugurated, together with designated handles on social media platforms, to ensure that all required information was passed to interested investors. He gave website as ire.ng.
