Why invest in Asaba Waterfront City

The reclamation and development of approximately 400 hectares (4.0 million square meters) of swamp land and areas prone to seasonal flooding along the banks of River Niger. The area is bound by Old Anwai Road to the West, Nnebisi Road/Isieke area to the southeast.

 In the East by the River Niger and the Ibusa Road junction/St John Bosco Catholic Church area to the South.
The Northern boundary is at a point parallel to Government House off Summit Road. 

The objective is to develop high-quality land for upmarket residential and commercial activities. The target area is currently uninhabited and undeveloped. The area is flooded for six months of the year.

Land is to be created by sand dredging the River Niger and the sand filling (reclamation) of swamp land and flood-prone areas up to a height range of 3 meters to 9 meters. The fill volume is approximately 10 million cubic meters.

A retaining wall with a promenade/boardwalk will be built along the river shoreline to a height of 12 meters to prevent seasonal flooding and as a tourist attraction. A retaining wall will also be constructed around a 35-hectare lake within the project area.

The lake will also be dredged and deepened to increase its capacity to hold stream and drainage water during the wet season. The first phase of the project will take about 14 calendar months to complete.

There will be a six (6) lane access road into the development off Summit Road near the Government House, complete with security gatehouses and security monitoring.

This land reclamation project is adjacent to River Niger. At this point, it is 160 kilometres from the Atlantic Ocean. The large commercial City of Onitsha is located 5 kilometres downstream. The river flows fairly steadily around the area with predictable seasonal patterns.
