As it is true with all successful off-plan real estate sales, the right composition of location, quality, price and timing is essential. The management of Sujimoto made good on this front and reaffirmed the common knowledge that a great product – in this case real estate, will always sell itself irrespective of dwindling economic fortunes as there will always be a demand for quality accommodation, especially a building positioned to be the tallest residential in Lagos, Located on the prestigious Bourdillon Road. The LorenzoBySujimoto XII-XII-VI event hit a home-run and sales are off to a great start with 19 of the first batch of 22 units sold out.
