Olukayode Olusanya: Building dreams, redefining luxury in real estate industry

The global real estate market continues to evolve at an unprecedented pace, with luxury developments leading the charge in redefining urban landscapes.

In Nigeria, the real estate sector contributes over six to the nation’s GDP, reflecting its growing significance in shaping economic progress.

Despite challenges like inflation, currency fluctuations, and infrastructure deficits, Nigeria’s luxury real estate market remains resilient, fueled by innovation, private investments, and visionary leaders who dare to push boundaries.

In this competitive landscape, few names resonate with innovation and excellence as strongly as Olukayode Olusanya, the founder and CEO of Oak Holdings. As the parent company of Oak Homes, Oak Capital, and Oak Ready Mix, Oak Holdings has firmly established itself as a trailblazer in Nigeria’s luxury real estate market.

The group recently achieved a remarkable milestone with the simultaneous commissioning of three transformative projects: The Oak Residence in Victoria Island, The Oak Mews, and Hamilton Court in Lekki.

For Olusanya, this achievement is not merely about constructing physical structures; it is a profound statement of resilience, innovation, and an unwavering belief in Nigeria’s untapped potential. Reflecting on these accomplishments, Olusanya remarked, “These projects symbolize more than just buildings; they represent our commitment to redefining what luxury living means, even in the face of economic challenges.”

The Oak Residence, located in the heart of Victoria Island, epitomizes sophistication and elegance. Its luxury apartments and penthouse villas feature high ceilings that create an airy, expansive feel while offering breathtaking views of the city. The penthouses, equipped with private rooftop lounges and Jacuzzis, stand as a pinnacle of modern opulence. “This development is not just about aesthetics—it’s a lifestyle statement and a secure investment that consistently delivers remarkable returns,” Olusanya emphasized.

In Lekki, The Oak Mews combines architectural brilliance with practicality, catering to the needs of contemporary families and professionals seeking refined urban living. Similarly, Hamilton Court, another jewel in Lekki, showcases modern designs optimized for comfort and functionality. Both developments embody Oak Homes’ philosophy of merging beauty, functionality, and value, reshaping the narrative of luxury real estate in Nigeria.

“If you think the past is beautiful, watch as the future unfolds,” Olusanya noted with excitement. “With daring projects designed to change the landscape of Nigeria forever, we are setting new standards that will inspire generations to come.”

The ambitions of Olusanya through Oak Holdings extend beyond real estate. With Oak Capital, the group empowers clients with strategic investment opportunities, while Oak Ready Mix ensures unparalleled quality control in construction materials. This integrated approach has been instrumental in Oak Holdings’ success, allowing the company to deliver exceptional projects that are timely and to standard.

Not content with dominating the Nigerian market, Olusanya is making waves internationally, expanding into the United Kingdom and the United States. “This move underscores our ability to merge local innovation with global standards,” Olusanya explained, “creating exceptional value for clients at home and abroad.”

Among Oak Holdings’ highly anticipated developments is The Oak Heights, poised to become Nigeria’s tallest building at 38 floors. “This project is not just a building; it’s a symbol of ambition, innovation, and our dedication to pushing boundaries,” Olusanya remarked.

Despite the challenges in Nigeria’s real estate sector, Olusanya remains optimistic about its potential. “The hurdles we face present opportunities for those willing to innovate and persevere,” he said, expressing confidence in Nigeria’s capacity to become a global hub for luxury real estate.

The recent commissioning of The Oak Residence, The Oak Mews, and Hamilton Court marks another chapter in the Oak Holdings story—a story of vision, trust, and the relentless pursuit of excellence. Olusanya and his team are not merely building homes; they are shaping futures, setting new benchmarks, and inspiring a legacy where luxury living knows no limits.
