For an estate that bears the name Victory Park, its name has
certainly seen it through a raging storm. Now, the storm is
over as R. Kelly would sing and the silver lining has appeared
in the horizon in the place of the once dark clouds. For long
it was weighted down by certain issues but it is now repackaged
under new investors and promoters.
It is situated west of the Lekki – Aja axis just behind
Femi Okunnu Estate and it is approximately 12 minutes drive
from the heart of Victoria Island. It is being promoted and
developed by the enterprising Grant Properties Limited, a
veteran and renowned name on the turf of property development.
Flexing its financial muscles behind the project are Skye
Bank, Wema Bank, Sterling bank and Unity Bank. The quartet
will ensure that the project is not starved of the necessary
funds. There is also a reasonable possibility of mortgage
finance being tied to the sumptuous package. There are 90
units of apartment with six units in a block. The houses are
currently undergoing finishing touches and in March the completed
units will be delivered to the owners.
The facilities are water – tight. Included in the fabulous
offer are most of the perks of ultra modern recreational facilities
including swimming pool, lawn tennis court, central sewage
system and underground cable. There is a water treatment plant
for the borehole system to supply potable water, among others.
Remarkly the estate will be powered with solar energy which
is fairly uncommon in a clime such as ours. With the present
dismal performance of Power Holding Company of Nigeria (PHCN)
better known for darkness than the light it ought to bring,
there is some hope of uninterrupted electricity held out for
the lucky residents of Victory Park Estate. When it turns
out a success, the experiment could be taken to other parts
of the country still enveloped in darkness.
Two types of houses will be constructed for outright sale
in the repackaged Victory Park Estate. They are Victory Exquisite
and Victory Deluxe. Victory Exquisite comprises 3 –
bedroom flats, plus 1 – bedroom servants’ quarters
all rooms ensuite. Victory Deluxe pack with ante room comprises
3 – bedroom flats plus a study and 1 – bedroom
servants’ quarters with all rooms ensuite. For those
who elect to go extra mile on their purchased package, the
flats will be delightfully furnished by Alibert Products Nigeria
Limited. This attracts an extra price of N2.5 million. Meanwhile
the price for either type is N32miilion per unit with the
initial deposit put at 50 percent.
