'Sijibomi Ogundele' today rings a resounding bell in the ears of numerous savvy investors and prospective home buyers as one of Nigeria’s bravest entrepreneurs who has, for the past 10 years, singlehandedly made a mark by completely reshaping and transforming the luxury real estate sector with his audacious portfolio of properties that is estimated to be worth over $650 million.
Although only a
few know about his humble beginnings, hustling on the busy streets of Agege and
his industrious journey from the Oke-Arin
Market to the well-paved streets in France, it comes as no surprise that the
young billionaire is very often perceived as an illustrious Igbo man from Nnewi, and at 42, he has successfully grown the
Sujimoto Group into a luxury construction behemoth, focused on building
extraordinary edifices in premium neighbourhoods of Ikoyi and Banana Island.
With his latest project, Lucrezia De Medici, which has averaged a robust growth of over 200% ROI since commencement and is slated for completion by 2024, the young billionaire has today outdone his mates and changed the rules of luxury real estate in Nigeria, setting a benchmark for the entire continent.
Located in
Africa’s richest neighbourhood, the 15-floor property LucreziaBySujimoto is
unarguably going to be the most sophisticated residential building in Africa.
Speaking on its iconic feature, the Group Managing Director of Sujimoto
Holdings, Dr. Sijibomi Ogundele, noted that he was not bragging when he
promised that upon completion in June 2024, no other penthouse or maisonettes will
beat the Lucrezia’s penthouse when it comes to quality, luxury, and
sophistication.
This master
development by Nigeria’s leading developer, SUJIMOTO Group, offers a unique
experience, providing residents and prospective home owners with an extreme
luxury that seamlessly combines the three core elements of location,
architecture, and lifestyle, which have today made the property the most
gossiped-about Highrise building within the African real estate market.
Emerging as a
resplendent symbol of architectural brilliance while captivating hearts and
minds with its ethereal allure, the Lucrezia nestles in the shimmering curves
of Banana Island, Nigeria’s most affluent and most desired neighbourhood that
is home to billionaires like Abdul Samad Rabiu, Sayyu Dantata, and Mike
Adenuga, amongst a host of other managing directors of multinationals as well
as ambassadors. Within this enclosed realm of sophistication and ultimate
luxury is Lucrezia, a soaring odyssey at the height of opulence.
Rooted in
simplicity and utmost sophistication, the Lucrezia is a building of many
firsts! 1st building in Nigeria with a Glass Reinforced Concrete (GRC) façade,
home to Africa’s 1st interactive lobby, 1st Virtual Golf Bar with over 2500
courses where customers and their children can express the Tiger Woods in them,
and Crèche for future leaders. Lucrezia is also the first building in Africa to
have over 18 electric vehicle charging stations, the first of their kind on the
continent; door technology by Oikos—the Rolls Royce of doors.
Equipped with a
standard 18-seater IMAX cinema for an immersive experience, a Private Elevator,
Personalized concierge services, an indoor swimming pool, a world-class gym for
fitness enthusiasts, Interactive lobby to conduct all business, full home
automation, which allows you to control the lights, blinds, security,
utilities, music systems, alarm, Bang & Olufsen standard electronic system,
TVs, and every other entertainment device in your home from the touch of a
button, Dornbracht and Rossana kitchens, Subzero refrigerators, wine cellars,
ultra-modern ovens, and coffee makers that would have you feeling like Leonardo
DiCaprio while sipping some espresso.
High-net-worth
individuals, in particular, are drawn to the spacious homes offered within the
Lucrezia, with 4-bedroom Maisonettes emerging as the most sought-after unit
type, followed closely by 3/4 bedroom apartments offered in Sujimoto's latest
project, the LeonardoBySujimoto, which has also been receiving significant
attention from prospective home owners , though it is estimated to break ground
by July 2024, it has already sold out its first phase, giving the impression
that something great is coming again to the Ikoyi luxury real estate market.
The ‘Talk of the
Town’ Lucrezia project serves as a testament to an exceptional team of designers
and architects, both local and international, who meticulously studied how the
Nigerian elites desire to live in their own villas, understanding their
expectations and creating their desires through a first-of-its-kind
architectural prowess of stacking villas on top of each other, creating a
vertical estate that houses magnificent maisonettes and two of Africa’s best
penthouses in the skies of Lagos.
From its glazed
GRC façade and uniquely designed 4m high ceiling rooms to its specially
designed Zaha Hadid sanitary wares that can only be found in the best hotels in
Dubai, every contour of the project expresses the curvy attributes of the
beautiful Lucrezia de Medici, with remarkable designs whispering tales of
meticulous craftsmanship and extreme luxury for the discerning few.
The ‘Lucrezia by
Sujimoto ‘triple story penthouse speaks opulence in its volume as the only
penthouse in Nigeria with its own private elevator! With sophistication
nonpareil, its lower level opens up to the dining room, living room, and
kitchen fitted with a walk-in refrigerator from Subzero, just like that of Kim
Kardashian’s luxury home in Hidden Hills.
“In
creating the Lucrezia, we realised that to be the best, you have to beat the
best. In doing this, we researched the most notable and best penthouses in
Africa, Downtown Dubai, and London. Armed with this information, we set out to
build the future of penthouses in Africa.” Dr. Sijibomi Ogundele, LLB.
Alongside the
Lucrezia, the luxury aficionado is also erecting the tallest building in
sub-Saharan Africa, the $225 million LeonardoBySujimoto. The Leonardo is an
exquisite convergence of Art, Architecture, and lifestyle that merges the
Sujimoto quality with an affordable price. The Queen Amina project which is
also set to nestle in the heart of the nation—Abuja—inspired by the strength of
a female warrior—Queen Amina of Zaria; the S Hotel—a luxury hotel that borrows
from the unique design and exceptional service offered by the Four Seasons
franchise, designed to redefine hospitality in Nigeria with locations in Ikoyi,
Lagos Mainland, and Abuja;
“If no one will
give you a seat at the table of opportunity, then you must create your own."
Dr. Sijibomi Ogundele.
Where no one gave
him a helping hand to success, Dr. Ogundele built his own ladder and walked
himself up to the limelight. The Sujimoto conglomerate is today renowned for
holding the fort of not just the luxury real estate sector but has spread its
tentacles to cover Fintech, Agriculture, Manufacturing as well as Hospitality.
“Sujimoto is not just contributing to Nigeria’s progress within
these sectors; we are leading the way, consistently creating opportunities for
our investors, and placing the nation in line with its global counterparts,”
Dr. Olasijibomi Ogundele said in his statement.
The relentless
drive of a young boy from Agege is putting Nigeria on the global charts of
luxury living, and we invite you to take your slice of his innovation today!
