REX 3.0 (Real Estate Nexus), convened by Rolad Properties, convened government leaders, industry executives, investors, developers, and academics at the prestigious Landmark Event Centre for a landmark conference focused on transforming Africa’s real estate landscape through innovation, efficiency, and structured collaboration.

Under the theme “Building the Future: Innovation, Efficiency & Transformation in Real Estate Development,” the conference examined how modern financing models, construction technologies, regulatory reform, and sustainable design practices can radically accelerate housing delivery and long-term asset creation.

Speaking at the conference, Dotun Oloyede, the Chief Convener, emphasized the need for discipline and readiness in development:

“The success of a project must be determined by how ready you are with your key structures. Many expansions are driven by ego, not readiness. Nigeria does not need bigger estate projects, it needs better structured developers.”

Under the leadership direction of Dotun Oloyede, Rolad continues to champion a model built on governance, operational clarity, financial intelligence, and a strong ecosystem of collaboration.

REX 3.0 featured an exceptional speaker lineup of respected industry leaders, policy influencers, institutional executives, and development experts who contributed to high-level conversations on construction efficiency, innovative financing, regulatory reform, and sustainable scale. The discussions were forward-looking, solution-driven, and deeply aligned with Rolad’s commitment to responsible growth within Nigeria’s real estate landscape.

In his keynote address, the Honourable Commissioner for Housing, Lagos State, emphasized that sustainable housing delivery must be anchored on strong infrastructure and deliberate policy alignment. He reiterated the State Government’s commitment to strengthening regulatory frameworks, deepening collaboration with credible private developers, and implementing practical measures that enable scalable, well-structured housing solutions across Lagos.

The conference featured strategic sessions, including:

● Opening Keynote: Africa’s Real Estate Future – What Must Change and How Fast?
● Panel 1: Efficient Construction: Strategies for Speed, Scale, and Cost Optimization
● Panel 2: Innovative Financing for Developers: From Cooperative Capital to Private Equity
● Policy Dialogue: What Regulation Must Look Like to Drive Innovation in Real Estate

REX 3.0 explored practical solutions across the value chain, including: New construction technologies, Smarter project delivery systems, Modern and structured financing models, Sustainable design practices, and Regulatory frameworks that enable scale and impact.

In partnership with the Department of Architecture, University of Lagos the conference sponsored over 50 students to attend REX 3.0. The initiative provided students with direct exposure to industry leaders, strategic networking opportunities, and access to professional ecosystems. Several students were also onboarded into the structured real estate networks by Rolad properties, reinforcing the conference’s commitment to long-term industry development and economic empowerment.
Special appreciation is extended to the Real Estate Developers Association of Nigeria (REDAN) and other key sponsors and partners whose support contributed significantly to the success of REX 3.0.

REX (Real Estate Nexus) continues to position itself as a high-impact platform where policy, capital, innovation, and execution intersect — driving the evolution of Nigeria’s real estate ecosystem with structure, credibility, and long-term vision. Plans for the next edition are already underway.
