Landmark Africa, to many Nigerians, could have been just another developer if not for its architectural landmarks that deliver an experience. Not simply real estate and hospitality.
The news of the demolition of a portion of its beach resort for the Lagos Calabar coastal route building was newsworthy. Landmark Africa has a broader business existence.
1. Landmark Lagos is the Lagos arm of Landmark Africa, consisting of the Landmark Center, Landmark Beach, and Landmark Village for now.
2. Euromoney previously endorsed Landmark Lagos as the fastest rising leisure and lifestyle destination in West Africa.

6. Landmark Lagos was valued at $200 million before the Lagos-Calabar coastal highway bulldozer destroyed a portion of its Landmark Beach. According to CEO Paul Onwuanibe, Landmark Africa just obtained $20 million in funding from Vantage Capital to help it reach a $5 billion value.
