Pazino ECC Promises to Transform Real Estate Sector

-

Lagos-based Real Estate and Engineerin­g Firm, Pazino Engineerin­g & Constructi­on Company Limited has said it is on a mission to transform Nigeria’s real estate sector to world class standard by adding new styles and dimension to what is currently in existence in the sector.

Managing Director of Pazino ECC Ltd, Mr. Patrick Agbaza, who dropped the hint in Lagos, said Pazino ECC is set to bring awareness and transform life in the areas of constructi­on and engineerin­g in the real estate sector by adding facilities like Aviaries, Play areas, Parks for both children and adults, Manicured gardens, Lawns and landscape areas with sheltered seating areas.

According to Agbaza, the practice of real estate business has transforme­d tremendous­ly from what it used to be and there is need to take advantage of developmen­ts on the global stage. “At Pazino ECC, we intend to take real estate from what it used to be to the next level in terms of constructi­on and building type. For instance we have a lot of estates scheme we are developing along the Lekki Epe Express Way which we prefer to call “Garden Schemes”. We call them gardens because our plan is to build homes surrounded by greeneries, which we believe guarantees longevity of the life span of people living in this kind of environmen­t.

Our garden schemes will also feature perimeter fencing, drainages among other things. All these features we’ve added will make more people embrace living in estates” he said.

He said Pazino is determined to make people understand why they should invest in real estate because there are huge potential for better return on investment in real estate.

He said: “Other than real estate, what will you want to invest in? We want people to come and invest in real estate. Some years ago it used to be shares and all of that, but with the collapse of shares, the momentum has swung back to real estate.

“As a matter of fact, since 2009/2010, the Nigerian real estate sector has witnessed resurgence particular­ly in the southern part of the country. According to a report by Augusto & Co, “real estate activities in Lagos accounts for at least 40% of the sum total of Nigeria’s real estate market”. Therefore, it pays to know that the Lekki Peninsula corridor where we have our Garden Schemes is the fastest rising real estate in Africa,”

He expressed the regret that government has not created the enabling environmen­t for the real estate business to thrive. According to him, government only pays lip service to the developmen­t of the sector. He also added that the banks have not really helped the sector too.
