…marks 3yrs of growth, credibility 

Urban Living Development Ltd, is  positioning itself as a forward-looking real estate brand focused on expanding access to property ownership while creating structured investment opportunities across Lagos’ emerging growth corridors.

This is as the technology-driven real estate development company headquartered in Ajah, Lagos, has marked its third anniversary, celebrating three years of strategic growth, innovation, and increasing credibility within Nigeria’s dynamic property market.

Founded in 2023, and led by John Oyedepo, Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer, alongside Olawale Aremu, Executive Director and Co-Founder, Urban Living Development Ltd has grown from modest beginnings into a company recognized for its disciplined execution, strategic land acquisitions, and investor-focused developments.

Reflecting on the company’s journey, Oyedepo said the vision behind Urban Living was to redefine how individuals and families participate in real estate investment.

“Three years of vision. Three years of bold decisions. Three years of building more than estates — building credibility,” he said.

“Urban Living was founded on the belief that real estate should be more than transactions. It should be a structured pathway for individuals and families to build sustainable wealth.”

Since inception, the company has focused on transforming raw land into structured developments, delivering residential estates across strategic locations including Lekki, Ajah, Sangotedo, and Ibeju-Lekki, areas widely regarded as high-growth investment corridors within Lagos State.

Urban Living’s projects are designed around its core philosophy of “Wealth and Wellness,” a concept that blends investment value with lifestyle-focused community development.

Projects such as MegaOne Lagos in Ibeju-Lekki demonstrate the company’s commitment to combining affordable luxury, eco-conscious planning, and modern infrastructure to create communities that support both lifestyle and long-term capital appreciation.

According to the company, its progress over the past three years has been driven by strategic leadership, operational discipline, and a focus on building investor trust.

Aremu, whose professional background spans operations management, IT security consulting, real estate brokerage, and compliance, has played a key role in strengthening the company’s internal systems and ensuring seamless project delivery.

His expertise has contributed to Urban Living’s emphasis on transparency and operational efficiency in a sector where credibility remains a key concern for many investors.

Speaking on the company’s development approach, Aremu emphasized the importance of building systems that support long-term confidence in real estate investment.

“From small beginnings to strategic positioning, our focus has always been execution,” he said. “We are committed to delivering developments that combine security, accessibility, and long-term value for investors and homeowners.”

Urban Living also expressed appreciation to its growing community of clients, partners, realtors, and investors who supported the company in its early years.

“To everyone who believed in the vision from the beginning, we are deeply grateful,” the company said in its anniversary message.
“This milestone represents the foundation of something bigger. The next phase will be stronger, more structured, and more impactful. We are just getting started.”

Industry observers note that as Nigeria’s urban population continues to expand, the demand for credible and well-structured real estate investment opportunities is expected to increase significantly.

Urban Living Development Ltd says it intends to play an active role in this evolving landscape by expanding its development portfolio, strengthening investor engagement, and delivering communities that combine investment value, lifestyle enhancement, and long-term planning.

With its leadership focused on innovation and disciplined growth, the company says it remains committed to building developments that deliver lasting trust, thriving communities, and sustainable wealth opportunities.
