An Architectural Collection
Scroll to move through the residence.
Forty-two residences. One continuous movement.
Space that opens as you move through it.
Calacatta marble, walnut, brushed brass. Chosen once.
Light engineered to the hour. Quiet by design.
The residence resolves at the building's crown.
The Address
Positioned on Banana Island — Nigeria's most exclusive address, a private man-made island ringed by the lagoon, minutes from the finest dining and clubs Lagos offers. Émeraude occupies the last significant waterfront plot on a boulevard that will never repeat itself.
Forty-two residences across twelve floors. No two identical. Each oriented for maximum capture of the lagoon horizon and the city's glittering geometry at dusk.
01
Space begins at the threshold.
Double-height ceilings. A single piece of African stone. The arrival sequence at Émeraude is composed like the first movement of something longer — deliberate, unhurried, and unmistakably yours.
02
Volume. Light. Nothing superfluous.
Walnut panelling on three walls. Cashmere. Floor-to-ceiling glass that frames the lagoon at the precise angle the architect spent fourteen months calculating. This room is not decorated — it is considered.
03
Precision meets pleasure at the counter.
Calacatta marble surfaces run uninterrupted for four metres. Sub-Zero refrigeration. A wine library behind smoked glass. The kitchen at Émeraude understands that the finest meals begin long before the first ingredient.
04
A bedroom worthy of the word sanctuary.
Eight metres of custom walnut joinery. A climate-controlled dressing room. Blackout glass on a twelve-second delay. Every decision in this room was made in service of one thing: the morning you wake up and do not want to leave.
05
Statuario marble. All your mornings.
A freestanding tub positioned at the lagoon axis. Radiant-heated Statuario marble underfoot. Brushed brass throughout. The bathroom at Émeraude does not ask you to choose between luxury and practicality. It refuses the premise.
06
Lagos, framed and returned to you.
Up to ninety square metres of private outdoor living. The city's geometry at dusk — the amber grid of Ikoyi, the shimmer of the lagoon, the lights coming on one by one — seen from a position most people in this city will never occupy.

The Investment Case
Projected appreciation p.a.
Banana Island prime has averaged 15–22% annual appreciation over the last decade, on constrained supply and sustained ultra-high-net-worth demand.
Gross yield on short-let
Furnished short-let commands $4,000–$8,500 per month. Dollar-denominated yields outpace local inflation with ease.
Occupancy in comparable stock
Ultra-prime furnished residences on Banana Island hold near-full occupancy. Demand consistently exceeds supply.
Projections from Lagos real estate indices 2015–2025. Past performance does not guarantee future returns. Independent advice recommended.
Floor Plans
Three bedrooms across two levels, with corner light and a direct lagoon aspect from the suite.
Two bedrooms on a single floor, the open-plan living volume running the full building depth.
Four bedrooms at the apex, opening to a fourteen-metre living volume along the lagoon edge.
Payment Plan
Off-plan ownership is structured across four milestones tied to construction. You pay as we build — every payment held in a licensed escrow account and released only against certified completion at each stage. Your capital is never advanced ahead of demonstrable progress.
All payments in Nigerian Naira to escrow. International wire accepted in USD / GBP at the prevailing CBN rate on the date of transfer.
Construction Progress
Every milestone is certified by an independent structural engineer and shared with purchasers in real time. Track your investment as it rises.
As at June 2026 · Certified by Adekunle & Partners Structural Engineers, Lagos.

Questions
The questions every considered buyer asks. If yours isn't here, a private consultation will address it directly.
All payments are held in a dedicated escrow account with a licensed Nigerian commercial bank. Funds release to the developer only against certified construction milestones, verified by an independent structural engineer — your capital is never advanced ahead of demonstrable progress.
The purchase agreement carries a contractual completion date with a defined grace period. Beyond it, purchasers are entitled to liquidated damages calculated monthly on sums paid. Our team has delivered six developments without a single delayed completion.
Yes. Off-plan contracts at Émeraude are assignable. Many purchasers realise significant gains on assignment prior to handover, given the appreciation typical of Banana Island prime stock. A modest administrative fee applies.
We maintain relationships with three Nigerian banks offering tailored facilities for qualified purchasers, including construction-linked drawdown aligned to our payment schedule. We can introduce you directly to the relevant relationship managers.
Each residence is delivered fully finished: imported sanitaryware, fitted kitchen with integrated appliances, climate control, smart-home wiring, and all marble, stone and joinery as specified. Prices exclude legal fees, stamp duty and registration.
Yes. We regularly transact with diaspora and foreign purchasers. Payment is accepted in USD or GBP via international wire at the prevailing CBN rate, with full legal representation arranged remotely. Title is transferable to non-resident owners.
