More than 217 containers were imported to build what will become the jewel of luxury living. Containers from different parts of the world—from Spain to Italy, America, and many parts of Asia—transport high-quality materials in the quest to meet the luxury standard the developer of LucreziaBySujimoto set for this iconic masterpiece.
However, the LucreziaBySujimoto (a timeless masterpiece) was not all roses, as numerous obstacles were encountered during the two-and-a-half-year construction period. Over six (6) truck accidents damaged different batches of valuables during transportation.
The process of clearing containers, a familiar and major impediment for entrepreneurs in Nigeria that deal with import and export, also caused significant increases in expenses, with the cost of clearing a 40-foot container skyrocketing up to N9 million from a 2020 budget of N4 million.
In addition to these logistical hurdles, the project also faced the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, inflation, and economic downturn, leading to a lot of cost overruns for the imported materials.
We have dedicated over N1.5 billion to logistics alone in this project, thereby urging Nigerian manufacturing associations to step up their game and produce top-notch building materials within the country.
As LucreziaBySujimoto (a timeless masterpiece) highlights, the Nigerian market has enormous potential, and it is critical to invest in local manufacturing industries to further boost economic growth.
Despite these challenges, the construction of the LucreziaBySujimoto (a timeless masterpiece) condominium is a testament to the resilience and determination of the Sujimoto brand. Crossing all T’s and dotting all I’s in the determination of starting and finishing a project.
The LucreziaBySujimoto serves as an inspiration to builders and developers, not only in Africa but the whole world, proving that with determination, dedication, and innovation, a man is only limited by the imagination of his mind.
The LucreziaBySujimoto condominium is now one of the most coveted and prestigious buildings in Lagos, Nigeria, setting a new standard for luxury living in the country and the continent as a whole.
The soaring tower, crafted from the most exquisite imported materials and showcasing a unique and unforgettable design, serves as a symbol of innovation and luxury, inspiring hardworking builders and developers in every part of Nigeria.
