Lagos is set to welcome a new addition to its skyline as plans advance for the Grandis 5Star Luxury Apartment & Suites in Victoria Island. Although construction is yet to commence, the project’s design is already generating attention within the property and architectural community—particularly for its emphasis on safety and durability.
The 17-floor residential development, designed to overlook Eko Atlantic, Victoria Island, and Ikoyi, is being developed by Dumarco Construction Limited, a firm with decades of experience in the highly regulated oil and gas industry.
According to Adejuwon A. Ademola, General Manager of Dumarco, the project’s foundation rests on international safety standards rarely applied in Nigeria’s residential property market.
> “In the oil and gas industry, there is no room for compromise. We are applying that same zero-tolerance approach to property development,” Ademola said. “Grandis is designed not just for luxury, but for peace of mind.”
Safety at the Core
Every stage of the development process—from design to eventual construction and maintenance—is being planned under strict global safety and quality assurance procedures. Dumarco has also separated the roles of developer, contractor, and consultant to ensure independent oversight and accountability throughout the project’s lifecycle.
The project team includes industry giants such as Julius Berger, Cappa & D’Alberto, Elalan, MC&T (Migliore Construzione & Tecniche) with Dubai’s VICC, and Business Contracting Limited, alongside consultants like Morgan Omanitan & Abe, LAMBERT, and James Cubitt.
Designed for Safety and Comfort
Plans for the building highlight reinforced structures, advanced fire prevention systems, smart-home integration, and 24-hour surveillance. Residents will also benefit from discreet, highly trained staff and facilities that balance privacy with comfort.
Ademola explained that the goal is to set a new benchmark for residential developments in Nigeria.
> “We designed Grandis for people who want everything—security, sophistication, and the assurance that their home will look and perform as well in 20 years as it does on day one,” he said.
Setting a New Standard
Industry observers note that by applying safety protocols common in oil and gas to high-rise housing, the Grandis project could help restore confidence among buyers and investors who are increasingly wary of safety lapses in Nigeria’s property sector.
While construction is scheduled to begin soon, the Grandis 5Star Luxury Apartment & Suites is already being hailed as a model of how world-class safety standards can redefine luxury living in Lagos.
