Eko Pearl Towers is a complex which consists of five residential towers in Eko Atlantic, Lagos State.[6][7]
Design and Development[]
The Eko Pearl Towers comprises five residential skyscrapers, all ranging from 24 to 33 floors. The towers are Eko Black Pearl, Eko White Pearl, Champagne Pearl, Indigo Pearl and Aqua Pearl. The residential tower project was designed by the Architecture firm TAA (Tabet Atelier d Architecture), the Electrical/Mechanical consultants are DHD-MEP Design and Supervision and the structural engineering was conducted by several lebanese people. Construction Management was tasked to TAA construction and the Site Engineering consultants are APAVE Nigeria. The residential towers are being developed by ESLA International Limited, a subsidiary of Chagoury Group,[5] while the contractors are Eko Pearl Construction Company and South Energyx Nigeria Ltd. Each of the five towers comprises four apartments per floor, two apartments on the penthouse floors, a technical floor, terrace floor, a ground floor and a basement floor. The penthouse types, two and three bedroom apartments provide viewing access to the Lagos coastline. The five towers cover a total plot area of 22,738 m2. Altogether, the towers will provide approximately over 560 apartment units with views of the Atlantic Ocean, Victoria Island and Lagos Island.[4] The project commenced after the land reclamation for the first phase of Eko Atlantic in 2013. As of 2016, the Black pearl has been topped out, the Champagne Pearl was scheduled to be completed in 2017 and has been topped out.[8] whilst the other two towers are still underdevelopment. The project was initiated in 2013, with an estimated completion and opening date initially scheduled for 2016. However, the 2016 date could not be attained for all the towers during construction process of the project. The towers are accessed by Eko Boulevard, Nigeria’s first eight-lane city road [9]
