“I wanted to have independence, a real career. Working with EchoStone made me realize this is what I wanted to do, and the technology offered a real opportunity to be a part of something special”
Built in partnership with the Lagos State Government and EchoStone Development Nigeria, this community of over 250 units was designed to be affordable, high-quality, and accessible to the growing population of Lagos. Each 2 bedroom unit includes: land in front & back, two car parks, integrated water & electric, security, community park access, monthly payment options, and much more!
This project included a complete integrated community development by EchoStone, including home construction, road and wastewater infrastructure, water management, playground areas, and more. The project included 252 single-story rowhouse bungalow units that are 2bed and 1bath and 64m2 in size. The community includes a state-of-the-art front entrance gate and guard house with a road and pedestrian walking network to serve the residents. It is the first EDGE-certified housing community in Nigeria.
The homes were designed to reduce energy and water usage, helping residents to save on utility costs. Energy-saving lighting, reflective paint and tiles, insulated concrete walls, and external shading devices contribute to the homes’ energy savings, while low-flow plumbing fixtures contribute to the homes’ water savings.
In addition to the green spaces and community amenities, each home has 53% energy savings, 42% water savings and 35% overall carbon footprint reduction.

The Peridot Parkland Estate project was a breakthrough in affordable and green housing in Nigeria. At just 9mil Naira (~$24k USD), the housing units were truly affordable for the local population. The community serves as a model of affordable and sustainable housing in Nigeria, which has the largest affordable housing deficit in all of Africa.
In 2019, EchoStone was a finalist at the international Public Private Partnership (PPP) awards hosted by Concordia (a UN General Assembly side event) in New York City. This PPP serves as a global model of development impact for its positive impact towards reaching the UN Sustainable Development Goals.

“It is a very marvelous solution compared to what we traditionally do in Nigeria. It is a kind of process that is much faster than laying block and I’m glad my students have been able to experience it”
“We are leveraging this technology, and we want to take this technology to the next level. For instance, the entire estate was constructed within one year. So, if we leverage that, we would be able to provide more affordable housing units for Lagosians as fast as possible”
