A firm, Kairos Hof Consultants Ltd has unveiled plans to provide housing model that meets the socio-economic needs of the young people, who they described as digital nomads.
The Managing Director of Kairos Hof Consultants Limited, Mr Olagoke Fagbohun, disclosed this yesterday in Abuja at a news conference to unveil the plan of the building consulting firm named as “Z-Korting Project”.
Fagbohun said that the firm would commence the housing unit with
17 block of five story buildings with an approximate of a 100 plus apartment.
He noted that the product is targeted at young fresh minds within their Hof City project in Idu district, adding that it is designed to appeal to the young minds who would want to live, work, play and eat in their exclusive spaces.
“In terms of deliverables, first of all, we are starting with 17 block for the first cluster. 17 blocks of five story buildings providing approximately a 100 plus apartment so that we can launch up the first phase of this project and meet up with our demand.
“Secondly, we need media support to enlighten people about this, we can only do that with the collaboration of media houses.
“In terms of making sure people enjoy the quality of what we intend to provide, the simply thing to do is to make sure the information is out there, and what this means is that we are going to do a lot of publicity about it,” he said.
Fagbohun said that the Z-Korting Project was targeted at young fresh minds and would be built in Idu, Karmo, Jahi and Cafe City, Gwarinpa respectively.
Director Business Development/CEO, Kairos Hof Ltd, Mr Ojehomon Anetor who spoke a little about the firm stated that the firm is a Dutch-Nigerian company investing in real estate and energy in both Nigeria and Netherlands.
He said that the firm had been able to design a concept that fits the cultural values of the country in terms of housing matters based on its experience of what its looks like outside Nigeria.
“From our experience of what housing looks like outside Nigeria, we have been able to design a concept that fits our cultural values.
“We have gotten a clear concept that gives an understanding of housing issue and what you need to provide for your client
“The system of housing issue in abroad is quite different from what we currently have here in Nigeria.
“We want to make sure that whoever is buying a house, is buying a house that gives them the right type of comfort and support that they need to exist, live, work, eat and play in one space,” Anetor said.
He stated that the stress and difficulties in securing housing had made so many couples to reduce the number of children they plan to have, a situation he said it was different during the period of our parents and great grand parents.
Anetor said that the firm is directly working with the works and housing ministry to make sure that the housing is more affordable and meet the requirements of Abuja populations.
He, however, said checks would be put in place to ensure only those working legitimately can invest in the project in order to not fuel the misconception that Kairos Hof has created a Yahoo Yahoo hub.
“This is the new way people live these days in certain climes and it is one of which is appealing to the digital nomads and the young generation who have created a digital economy around how they live. The structure is designed from research across different parts of the world and we are looking at offering a world class facility for those who will be keying into this project.”
