Eko Atlantic is a coastal city adjacent to Victoria Island all in Lagos, Nigeria, Eko Atlantic is meant to help solve the chronic shortage of real estate in the world’s fastest-growing mega city. It is a focal point for investors to capitalise on rich development growth based on massive demand – and a gateway to emerging markets of the continent
Nestled next to the iconic Victoria Island and the vibrant Lekki, Eko Atlantic promises both tranquility and connectivity.
South Energyx Limited, a part of the Chagoury Group, are developers and planners of the Eko Atlantic City project.
An important accomplishment thus far in Eko Atlantic City is the progress achieved on the construction of the ‘Great Wall of Lagos’. The Great Wall of Lagos was constructed to protect the shoreline of Victoria Island and the early phases of Lekki from coastal erosion.
Before the construction of The Great Wall, the waves from the Atlantic Ocean would regularly flood Victoria Island and the early phases of Lekki, threatening countless lives and businesses.
The Great Wall of Lagos, reaching a total of 8.5km in length when completed, has already achieved its primary goal of protecting Victoria Island from Coastal Erosion. Once completed the wall will protect the early phases of Lekki from coastal erosion as well.
Eko Atlantic was initially built as a defence against coastal erosion for Victoria Island and parts of Lekki
90% of the work in Eko Atlantic is done by companies in Nigeria
Value added amenities within the city include
10.2km long waterfront promenade
2 large marinas connected by an internal water-way
Project Timeline
In 2008 physical works began on Eko Atlantic City. The vision is to create a unique new city built on a vast area of land reclaimed from the ocean along the coast of Victoria Island in Lagos, Nigeria.
Mid-2009, the first rocks for The Great Wall of Lagos were being placed, and the core of the sea wall was underway.
Dropping the rocks into the ocean to form the base of the Sea Wall was not enough, the rocks had to be shaped and formed by excavators.
This process was able to be achieved as the excavators being used throughout the process of construction are all equipped with a pinpoint accurate GPS.
This GPS allowed excavators to work accurately underwater to create a finished product up to design specifications.

The entrances and exits to the Canals are now complete. Drivers will be able to access the East and West expressways in the lower level of the city via these roadways. The expressways will be built alongside the canal.
The Marina District is one of the most stunning residential and commercial hubs in Eko Atlantic, offering city living at its finest.
A sweeping pedestrianised promenade encircles the marina offering inspiring views in every direction, from the sleek ocean-going yachts to the dazzling architecture.
