Nigeria has a population of over 200 million and still growing, Accommodation (Shelter) is the second most important aspect after food. Available statistics show that 87% of the total household population in Nigeria lives in rented apartments. This fact, no doubt, makes Nigeria a viable investment destination for local and foreign investors, given the mammoth size of her population.

2. Real Estate has been proven to be
one of the most profitable
investment opportunities currently
available in Nigeria with relatively
low variability of returns.
It involves the purchase, ownership,
management, rental and/or sale of
real estate for profit.

3. Types of Real Estate
There are three types of
Real Estate namely:
The Commercial Real Estate
These properties are used solely for business
purposes and an investor (developer) usually
owns the building and collects rent from each
business that operates within the structure.
Sometimes, the developer could build for
outright sale and subsequently appoint a
facility manager. Some of the major
categories of commercial real estate include:
- Ultra-modern malls and event centers
- Office buildings
- Recreational Centers
- Concessions including Roads, bridges, Free
Trade Zones and ports
- Hospitality
- Restaurants & Fast Food Outlets
We estimate that 60% of global investment in real estate is in commercial real estate.

4. The Residential Real Estate
This type of properties are meant for living
purposes. Shelter, it is said, ranks second in the
hierarchy of human needs; being most important
after food. Available statistics show that 87% of
the total household population in Nigeria lives in
rented apartments. This fact, no doubt, makes
Nigeria a viable investment destination for local
and foreign investors, given the mammoth size of
her population

5. Industrial Real Estate
These properties are used for manufacturing
and production. Usually involves the
construction of warehouses and factory
floors. This sector of the industry is not so
robust in Nigeria, due to the current low level
of manufacturing activities in the country.

6. Ø The real estate industry is the fifth largest
contributor to the Nigerian economy and a potential
goldmine for investors;
Ø The Nigerian real estate market has grown since
the emergence of online real estate sites in the late
2000s.
Ø The Nigerian market is one of the most sought after,
due to the huge returns possible. The growing
interest in the Nigerian market is as a result of huge
demand buoyed by increasing urban population and
changing shopping culture among the expanding
middle class, which has resulted in the construction
of numerous shopping malls.

7. Ø There are 10.7 million houses in Nigeria and we
regard this statistics highly inadequate when
compared to the size of the nation.
Ø World Bank has estimated that it would cost as high
as N59.50 trillion to bridge Nigeria’s 17 million
housing deficit.
Ø This huge deficit figure may also be viewed as a vast
and untapped investment potential of the country’s
real estate sector.

8. Benefits
Capital Growth:
The value of your property will grow over
time and may be extremely beneficial
financially if well chosen. Not only will you
benefit from a steady capital growth, but
regular annual/monthly rental returns.
Safe Investment:
This is the only investment market which is
not dominated by investors, hence creating
a natural buffer in the market. It is also the
most forgiving investment; if you purchase
the worst house in the area, chances are
that its value will still increase over time.

9. Mitigated risk:
You can insure your asset against most
risks; fire/damage/a tenant leaving,
damaging your property or breaking the
lease.
Anyone can invest:
You do not have to possess a vast amount
of knowledge, as you may with stocks or
opening up a business.
Veto Power:
Unlike other investments, you are in full
control of your property investment; you
can make all decisions and have full control
over all your returns.
