100 firms to showcase at Luxury Living Africa Property Exhibition



More than 100 companies from Nigeria and over 15 countries have indicated interest in showcasing their real estate projects, products and services at the Luxury Living Africa Property Exhibition slated for July 11-13 at the Federal Palace Hotel, Lagos.

Minister of Lands, Housing and Urban Development, Amma Pepple, will declare the event open and highlight various government policies and developments as well as opportunities for stakeholders in the nation’s real sector industry. Also, Commissioner for Housing and Urban Development in Lagos State, Bosun Jeje, will also attend the event.     

The international property exhibition is organized by Campaign Hype Ltd, a leading exhibition company. Innovations in design, technology and materials will be the focus at the event. 

Luxury Living ARICA Property Exhibition, according to Steve Ike, Head of the Organizing Team, will have in attendance major real estate developers in Nigeria, as well as from foreign countries including USA, Canada, United Kingdom, Dubai, Malaysia, Cyprus, Turkey, India, Russia, Ghana, Gambia, and France. 

Organizations that have confirmed participation include residential, commercial and retail real estate developers, architects, building component merchants as well as interior décor & luxury furniture companies. Other participants are mortgage banks, investment promotion agencies and home automation companies. 

According to Ike, the exhibition is aimed at creating a platform for business promotion, investment opportunities and market development for all stakeholders in the real estate sector. While exhibitors will have an opportunity to showcase their latest projects, products or services, visitors will be exposed to cutting-edge products and services to serve their property need. 

On the benefits of participating at the exhibition, he said that exhibitions are proven to generate more sales prospects per spending budget than almost any other form of marketing or promotional activity. 

“Even in the new age of technology-led communication, social media and mobile Internet, face to face interactions are still very key to fostering profitable business relationships,” he said. “Aided by their ‘live’ nature, exhibitions are the only promotional media that combines the power of 3D sales & promotion and face to face interaction with a carefully target audience.”

The three-day programme is designed to include the African Real Estate and Urban Development Conference and the Luxury Living Awards. The conference will focus on promoting sustainable built environment and would explore architecture, environment, technology, and Society in Africa. Sub themes will include rapid urbanization, architectural design and sustainability, and enabling government frameworks.

The Luxury Living Awards will reward industry professionals and organizations that have been involved in the design and construction of outstanding real estate developments for both built and future projects. 

The awards will also reward outstanding individual and organizations in industries associated with the real estate. 

Ike said, “The Luxury Living Awards presents an unparalleled opportunity for networking among key investors, architects, developers and suppliers as industry leaders converge upon Lagos to recognize the innovators and initiators behind some of the country’s most high profile projects, products and services.”
