Chinatown is a mixed-use area within Asaba Waterfront City, planned to support trade and long-term settlement in one integrated environment.
Occupying approximately 100 acres, Chinatown combines low-density residential living with commercial and business activity, allowing people to live close to where they work and trade with ease. Homes, offices, warehouses, and retail outlets are planned within the City, supported by reliable power, road access, advanced flood prevention and drainage systems, and modern city infrastructure.
Chinatown is fully connected to the wider City through the central road network and it sits within the overall planning, governance, and security framework of Asaba Waterfront City.
A major advantage of Chinatown is its proximity to Onitsha, the South-East’s largest trading hub. Onitsha is less than 15 minutes from the City, providing direct access to distributors, wholesalers, and regional markets. This location reduces logistics costs, shortens delivery times, and strengthens trade efficiency for businesses operating within the district.
Chinatown supports a live–work–trade model that encourages daily economic activity, steady demand for property, and sustainable long-term value. Cultural identity is also respected in design and use, while infrastructure, planning controls, and services meet modern urban standards.
By integrating Chinatown into the City’s structure, Asaba Waterfront City strengthens its role as a waterfront destination and reinforces its vision as the Venice of Africa, a place where commerce, culture, and modern city living come together in a single, well-planned environment.
