I love this tower, hopefully more like it will blossom!! Lagos skyline in the background.. Nice!! Besides it may be a supertall if it has like 30m...
1, Yes alive, when it is under construction!!!Banana Island is not an offshore development it is part of Lagos Island and is situated inshore at the Lagos Lagoon/Five Crow Creek..and the "Abuja Millenium Tower" you are talking about is just alive in your (and some others) dreams.
Banana island is a joint venture development between the Construction Division of the Chagoury Group and the Nigerian Federal Ministry of Works and Housing.
Banana Island is a choice location at the South West of Ikoyi. The island is accessed via an existing road network and occupies a sand filled area of approximately 1,630,000 square metres.
The Island has been zoned into 536 plots consisting of 100 closes, which serve to enhance the banana shape of the island.
Plot sizes range from 1000 square metres to 4000 square metres. The island is designed for a mixed development with plots for residential, commercial, recreational areas, a main piazza, primary and secondary schools, fire and police stations, clinics, hotels and club-houses.
Utilities offered include underground electrical systems, an underground water supply network, central sewage system and treatment plant, street lighting and satellite telecommunications networks, as well as overhead and storm water covered drainage.
i can see the construction site of the Cultural Center in Abuja (and a renderpic with its landmark tower which Matthias O. belives it is not the Millenium Tower - regarding to his older posts in this forum!)...Abuja will also get a $500 million tower called "Abuja Millenium Tower".
