There are about 7 new projects happening within 500m around me.

They all started last week.
There is a plan from CBN to redenominate our currency.People who know are investing in property now because that's the safest place to keep money when the Dollar and other hard currencies become useless due to loss in value!

Yea, a satisfying home is not a money making venture.
Those things I compared a home with in my comment above aren't investments either.

Very Interesting ,

I know 2 under construction , in addition to about 6 in operation
Agbowo shopping complex is under renovation and expansion , there is a lot happening in ibadan

What will determine sustainability in the long run will be location ,amenities offered , architecture , quality of build and subsequent facility management and pricing- the most important for ibadan grin grin

We dey wait for una wink

True, true, there are several “malls.”

The N100m is not even up to 30% of what’s required to put up a two-screen cinema in a standard mall. I think Maryland Mall is estimated to be over $15m.

Focusmind:


Other reasons for that kind of gate is to allow free flow of air and not to allow the build to look like a prison, brings out the beauty of the building, allows the occupants to see the person at the gate from their balcony, allows neighbours to see what is happening in the compound as a form of security.

It is not for the prying eyes of the passersby to see what is happening within your compound. That's my own take and how I would design mine.

Aint it passers-by or visitors that will appreciate your build and ain't they going to prey with their eyes first to see the beauty.

Neighbors beside your build will see through your gate from their home abi?
Won't neighbors eye prey before they can see what is happening?
How many air will flow through the gate?

Baba, We won't thirst for finishes that are appealing n oozes class if we don't want passers-by to appreciate our structure.
We do much of these things for people to appreciate

Malls Obsolete ?? Not so far away from me is a major mall construction by venture capitalist... there are currently over 50 mall construction/plans in different stages either planning or contracts stages or construction...my county and many others count Malls as development ...its been difficult for malls with covid-19 the past one year.little ease of restrictions..people are trooping in... I live just outskirts of Gothenburg..

The mall-going culture is dwindling fast in Nigeria because most developers lack ideas that resonates with the local market.
Even most Lagos malls (Silverbird Galleria, The Palms Mall, Park ‘n’ Shop, City Mall...) didn’t get it right at the very beginning.

A smart play right now for developers would be to switch the focus from building large fancy malls in central business districts to smaller sizes like Ebeano and the likes are currently doing.

That’s why I love The Bruces.’ The Galleria wouldn’t have been a success without the cinemas which wasn’t part of the original plan. And of course, Silverbird Film distribution - a stolen idea lipsrsealed

For any mall to be successful, the management must be ready to review her strategies on an ongoing basis to meet the demands of the local market in a new way.

My take ...

Outside say 3 to 4 tier one cities in Nigeria , maybe another 6 or 7 state capitals , doing malls of 15 to 20k sqm lettable space or more will land you in a lot of trouble financially , maintenance wise etc , the market is not sustainable /the commercial retail tenants to fill the spaces are not there , our economy and consumer spending is not that robust . Add the rumored exit of struggling shoprite , the anchor tenant for most , you can understand the chaos that might come

I strongly believe there is market for compact malls , a few thousand sqm lettable space in fantastic location within the city at reasonable leasable price point

For the mall/ group u mentioned ,know some people there and they agree 100% with my summation , would also say it’s the only one that qualifies to be called a mall in the true sense in ibadan in my own opinion
