For investors & industry partners
The City Structure
Afrisovera City is a master-planned city in central Nigeria, designed so that land is easy to secure and easy to build on. This page sets out how the land is organised, how plots work, how the land will be secured, and the partnership package for every district.
1. How the land is organised
The landholding is planned in three phases. Phase 1 is the built core: homes, civic buildings, business and leisure districts, industry and farms. Phase 2 is serviced land, roads and services in, plots surveyed, for the next homes. Phase 3 is a strategic reserve, which holds the international airport. Every figure below comes from the live site plan.
| Inside the Phase 1 city | Hectares |
|---|---|
| Homes: the North-West Quarter (about 2,727 plots, including its 14 ha park) | 210.9 |
| Commercial, offices, film & tech | 81.5 |
| Civic: hospital, education, library, security, culture | 78.8 |
| Leisure: hotels, arena, sports, nightlife | 66.3 |
| Landmark towers | 8.7 |
| Industry | 85.9 |
| Agriculture | 94.8 |
| Utilities & training | 34.8 |
| Rail interchange | 35.9 |
| Parks & wildlife | 69.8 |
| Roads, the lake and beach, green belts, residential streets and land not yet given a use | 2,232.6 |
| The whole Phase 1 city | 3,000.0 |
| Beside the city: Phase 3 (outside the Phase 1 boundary) | Hectares |
|---|---|
| Airport reserve: the whole Phase 3 landholding | 1,275.6 |
| of which the airport's first phase (runway, terminal, cargo, hotel); the rest is kept for expansion | 650 |
The airport is not part of the city's 3,000 ha: it sits on separate Phase 3 land to the south, at least 1.6 km clear of the homes, with its approach paths over open land only. See both on the interactive site plan.
2. Plots: one simple unit
Land is measured in the standard Nigerian plot of 464 m² (50 × 100 ft), sold in half plots. A home takes one to three plots depending on its design, and every home design states how many it needs. Districts are not sold in plots: each occupies its own parcel, set by its building programme.
3. How the land is secured
The land is not yet acquired. These are the planned steps; each is released only when the one before is complete.
- Nigerian company formed to hold land and contracts locally.
- First parcel optioned: an agreed option over the Phase 1 core, with host communities and their traditional custodians engaged from the start.
- Title perfected: customary title converted to a statutory Certificate of Occupancy, surveyed and registered with the State Ministry of Lands.
- Site activated: boundary survey, access road, water and power for the first works.
- Phase 1 built in stages: serviced roads and utilities first, then district by district as partners commit.
- Phase 2 and Phase 3: further land secured and serviced as Phase 1 fills.
Government steps are pathways the project intends to pursue, at the right stage and with the right approvals; none is claimed as agreed.
4. District partnership packages
Each district is a package for a partner who knows that industry best. Afrisovera provides the planned and serviced parcel, the master plan, the local-materials building system and the trained workforce; the partner brings the expertise to design the detail, build and run it.

5. Ways to partner
Terms for each are agreed individually at the right stage, through proper legal agreements.
6. Built from local materials
Afrisovera invents its own architecture and builds it almost entirely from local materials, compressed earth block, rammed earth, local timber, brick, terracotta and bronze, so premium homes and landmark buildings cost less to build. The city's Technical College trains the builders who make it.
