Lagos is one of the most dynamic and fast-paced real estate markets in Africa. But one factor that consistently reshapes property values across the state is infrastructure development. From new bridges to coastal roads and rail projects, infrastructure is more than just a public good it’s a real estate game-changer.
At Ramos Real Estate, we’ve observed firsthand how infrastructure can dramatically raise the value of properties in previously overlooked areas. In this article, we’ll explore how and why infrastructure projects directly influence property prices in Lagos.
- Accessibility Drives Demand
One of the clearest examples is the Lekki-Epe Expressway and the ongoing Lekki Coastal Road. As these projects ease travel and reduce commute times, demand for nearby properties both residential and commercial surges. Better roads mean easier living, which attracts tenants,
Properties in Sangotedo and Abraham Adesanya appreciated by over 50% after road expansion projects and mall developments nearby.
- Bridges & Bypasses Open Up New Markets
Think of the 4th Mainland Bridge — still under development but already shifting interest to Ikorodu, Badore, and Ibeju-Lekki. These areas, once considered far or inaccessible, are now emerging hotspots for savvy investors looking to buy low and sell high once the bridge is operational.
- Commercial & Mixed-Use Infrastructure Uplift Surrounding Areas
When major malls, tech parks, or industrial zones launch, surrounding land and housing options benefit. The Dangote Refinery, and Lekki Deep Sea Port, have all played massive roles in boosting property values across the Ibeju-Lekki corridor.
These projects create jobs, demand for housing, and better road networks a triple win for property owners.
