The Wings Towers is designed and built as a twin 15-storey grade ‘A’ office building in Victoria Island, Lagos. The Towers, which comprise 27000m2 of office space, are also attributed to be green certified.

Designed to offer a marketleading blend of the highest technical specification, convenience, and security, the Wings Towers deliver sophistication in a superb location, permitting users to go about their day-to-day business in a seamless fashion.

According to the promoters, the iconic towers comprise 27,000 square meters of investmentgrade, lettable office space in the heart of Lagos – providing a first-class business atmosphere that enhances your operational capabilities.

“The site delivers the convenience of an upscale Victoria Island location right to your business doorstep, providing primary entry through the newly upgraded four-lane arterial route – Ozumba Mbadiwe Avenue and elegant accessibility via the private lagoon front jetty,” they said.

Parking space will not be an inconvenience due to a 700-bay podium beneath the towers, offering a ratio of two bays per 100 square meters of the lettable area – a first in Nigeria. A ground-floor restaurant will cater to tenants and visitors.

The Wings towers provide businesses with 21st-century state-of-the-art facilities in the heart of Lagos’ newly emerging central business district.

The iconic towers complex is rated as a green building, also known as green construction or sustainable building. This refers to both a structure and the application of environmentally responsible and resource-efficient processes throughout a building’s life-cycle: from planning to design, construction, operation, maintenance, renovation, and demolition. This requires close cooperation of the contractor, the architects, the engineers, and the client at all project stages. The Green Building practice expands and complements the classical building design concerns of economy, utility, durability, and comfort. In doing so, the three dimensions of sustainability, i.e., planet, people, and profit across the entire supply chain, need to be considered.
