Velox Real Estate has officially broken new ground in South-South Nigeria’s property sector with the allocation of plots at The Retreat, a pioneering eco-resort estate in the heart of Port Harcourt. The event, held on Saturday, July 28, marks a historic first for the region, combining real estate development with sustainability and leisure living.
The Retreat is the first estate of its kind in the South-South, positioned to redefine urban living in Rivers State. Backed by developer Akorvueze Nwakanma, the project emphasizes an environmentally conscious approach to residential and commercial development in the Niger Delta.
“This isn’t just about land; it’s about lifestyle,” said Nwakanma during the ceremony. “We are offering something more than property ownership we’re creating a destination where people can live, relax, and reconnect with nature.”
The estate integrates features such as an artificial lake, golf course, greenhouse farms, and nature-driven architecture. It also includes eco-conscious infrastructure like zero-carbon zones, energy-efficient systems, and green communal areas. Designed as both a home and a getaway, The Retreat brings together residential living with resort-style amenities including farm-to-table restaurants and recreational spaces.
Saturday’s allocation event drew a diverse group of stakeholders, investors, and prospective homeowners who gathered to witness the transformation of vision into reality. Attendees highlighted the significance of the project in promoting green living and sustainable urban expansion.
The project’s strategic positioning in Port Harcourt makes it accessible yet secluded, offering residents a peaceful environment while remaining close to city services.
With this launch, Velox Real Estate has not only introduced a new residential option but also sparked a broader conversation around sustainable development in the region. As interest continues to grow, The Retreat is poised to become a model for future eco-integrated developments across Nigeria.
