He said the company’s green city had taken that into consideration and its green homes would preserve the environment, be technological aligned for the upwardly mobile.
“It has become important to target the interest of the people and at the sametime, we also have duty to preserve nature because of the climate change which has become a big issue worldwide not only just in Nigeria.
“For instance, when you go to a country like Norway, you would see them erecting big buildings but in between, they still have a way to preserve nature.
“In Lagos, carbon pollution has become a thing, so we are talking with horticulturist to come in and bring our design into fruition because our design is to bring nature into our projects.
“The homes here today will be that place where luxury meets nature via sustainable living, energy smart saving homes with horticultural and agricultural landscape,” he said.
