None taken. Abuja has much work to do. However, the government, the private sector, and the local communities have done a fantastic job thus far of developing the region. When we sit back and think that modern Abuja is only about 25 year old, the accomplishments are pretty amazing.

In that area of the city? This Area of the city will have the tallest buildings in the entire City and will have one of the tallest sets of buildings in the entire country. Even though some of these towers are residential...they should still eclipse the other commercial buildings in Abuja.

Lagos Island has taller buildings.
but Lekki doesn't...Banana Island doesn't...even Ikoyi doesn't.....Victoria Island does but not in such a cluster.

Port Harcourt no..........Ibadan no

So Apart from Lagos Island and V.I (Which isn't a cluster) this will be the tallest.

Remember this is constitution avenue we are talking about. If some of the other developments come on stream, it will even dwarf V.I.and could even rival Lagos Island. Lagos Island looks pretty much the same that it has for decades.
