RefinHomes Ltd, a Lagos-based property developer, has urged for environment-friendly housing projects to help alleviate the effects of climate change and improve residents’ health.
Mr. Kazeem Owolabi, the firm’s Managing Partner, stated this at the groundbreaking ceremony for a 10-story luxury mansion being created by RefinHomes in Ikoyi, Lagos.
He stated that such an environmentally beneficial strategy, which the company is also implementing in its projects, will foster harmony between nature and urban development.
The Begonia design has four maisonettes, two subterranean levels, and two penthouses, as well as seven three-bedroom flats and seven two-bedroom apartments.
Service elevators, gyms, fire alarms and protection, swimming pools, home offices and studies, working closets, constant power supply, internet services, and play areas are among the amenities envisioned for the developments.
Owolabi said: “We have come to fill the gap in the nation’s housing deficit by building based on specification, capacity and request from our subscribers and the need of the market. Anytime we are building.”
The Managing Partner, RefinHomes Ltd, Olatunde Macauley, said the subscribers should expect quality housing at completion, adding that the firm will not compromise its mission to deliver standard homes.
The Project Manager, Begonia scheme, Mr. Tayo Babalakin, said the project is a fallout of the COVID-19 pandemic as it encourages working from home.
Babalakin, who is the Managing Partner at Consultants Collaborative Partnership (CCP), said: “We are using quality materials and introducing home/office offerings into this development, which are very accessible because a lot of people like to work from home without being disturbed.
“ We look at sustainability in terms of harvesting rainwater, solar panels, and inverters to respond to the rising cost of diesel and reduce the maintenance. Subscribers also have very big living rooms and bedrooms that will make them comfortable.”
He said a notable contractor carried out the piling work, adding that the project would be completed between 18 and 20 months.
