Centenary City
On-going Project (Co-owned Company)
Designed to work in harmony with nature, the exclusive community of Centenary City becomes part of the natural landscape, offering both an impressive downtown skyline and peaceful suburban living.
The Centenary City is modeled after cities such as Dubai, Monaco and Singapore, to serve as a political and economic tool for securing foreign investment. Upon completion, it is expected to become the financial hub of the capital of Nigeria and will help position the country as a key player in the global financial arena.
Abuja Centenary City, a smart, inter-connected urban centre that draws on the latest technologies, will have a central business district, a financial centre, a museum & cultural centre to promote African and global arts, world-class hotels, business and technology parks, residential districts, an 18-hole golf course, and industry centres, sports and leisure facilities and community amenities.
The City’s goal is to create a modern urban centrality for sustainable development, where natural beauty and architecture icons must merge together to create an environment that is alive and productive.
The City will re-introduce Abuja to the world with the following features:
With a natural buffer that envelopes the entire City and encircles the central neighbourhood that protects and nurtures the whole with world-class public facilities.
Domestic waste will be used to create nutrient-rich soil, fertilizer and incinerated as an additional power source. Other wastes such as plastics and metals will be recycled or re-purposed for other uses
All facilities are conceptually related to one another so that they can be placed together to create a rich, elegant, textured and vibrant City.
The Mall of Nigeria gives residents an extensive range of international brands, complete with abundant entertainment options and dining outlets.
At the core of Centenary City stands its most magnificent centrepiece, the Africa Tower. Set to be the highest of its kind in Africa, the tower will house 30 floors of Abuja’s most luxurious apartments and 46 floors of premium office spaces.
With a gas-fired 500MW power plant connected directly to a gas terminal, constant power supply to the City will always be available.
A super-block system that is modular and organic, yielding a resulting grid of arteries, streets and pathways with an efficient traffic system where pedestrians, bicycles, motorcars, trams and monorail can co-exist in a human friendly way
Planned in an environmentally sound manner where approximately 60 percent of the water used will be recycled and waste water reused as many times as possible.
Exquisite office towers, exotic hotels, magnificent shopping malls, imposing Expo/Convention Centre, cozy theatres and cinemas.
Elegant high-rise apartment towers, single family houses,
semi-detached houses, row-houses, apartment blocks.
Primary & Secondary Schools, University Campus, Health Centres, Health Farms and Theme Parks.
Sports shall be given prominence in the City with top-of-the range sporting facilities, which shall include a signature golf course.
A modern sports hospital that will be on the cutting edge of sports medicine and will provide 5-star level services, state-of-the-art diagnostic tools and world-class facilities.
A preferred destination for multi-national and domestic businesses. It is expected that the top most corporate bodies in Nigeria will have their showrooms in the City
To house the history of our political development and the contributions of our Presidents and the Nigerian Institute of Federalism.
An alternative operational base for the President.
To complement the Eagle Square and add colour to Government ceremonies and activities.
A magnificent and awe-inspiring architectural masterpiece that will eloquently introduce the Centenary City and welcome visitors to Abuja.
The City will be a revolutionary approach to urbanization in Africa. By the end of its planned 5-year development cycle, this innovative and vibrant City would have created over 50,000 construction jobs and 5,000 permanent well-paying jobs. It is planned for a residential population of about 100,000 people and to host about 500,000 visitors daily.
It shall promote world-class multinational and domestic businesses in a world-class and master planned environment that gives meaning to life, energy for work and pleasure for play, while permanently contributing to Nigeria’s economic growth, diversity and greatness into the next centenary.
