What is your overall investment strategy in Nigeria, and what types of real estate assets or projects does the company prioritize, and why?
The investment strategy of MKH Properties Limited in Nigeria is influenced by factors such as market demand, regulatory environment, competitive landscape, and the company’s expertise and resources.
A list of asset types that we prioritize are classified in five ways as follows;
* Residential Development: These are projects including single-family homes, apartments, and gated communities. Residential properties often provide a steady stream of rental income and can appreciate over time as proven countlessly.* Commercial Real Estate: These can range from office buildings to retail centres, and industrial warehouses that can offer attractive returns for investors. Companies may focus on developing or acquiring commercial properties located in high-demand areas with strong economic fundamentals.* Mixed-Use Developments: Mixed-use developments combine residential, commercial, and retail components in a single project. These projects aim to create vibrant, walkable communities with a diverse range of amenities and services. Mixed-use developments can appeal to both investors and residents seeking convenience and lifestyle benefits.
* Luxury Real Estate: In upscale markets, demand is directed toward luxury real estate projects where investors enjoy premium amenities and finishes.* Land Acquisition and Land Banking: From time to time, we engage in land acquisition and land banking as part of our investment strategy.
By acquiring land in strategic locations, we can secure sites for clients who look forward to future development and capitalize on potential appreciations. One futuristic development we look forward to is affordable housing, this is to address the housing shortages and meet the needs of low-to-moderate-income households.
Real estate investments often come with various risks. How does MKH Properties Limited access and manage risks in the Nigerian market, especially factors like regulatory changes, economic volatility, or geopolitical uncertainties?
Overall, MKH Properties Limited adopts a proactive approach to risk management, combining rigorous due diligence, diversification, financial risk management, regulatory compliance, scenario planning, and risk transfer mechanisms to safeguard its real estate investments in the Nigerian market.
The real estate market in Nigeria is competitive. How do you differentiate yourself from competitors, and what unique value propositions do you bring to potential investors and stakeholders?
To differentiate ourselves from competitors and provide unique value propositions to potential investors and stakeholders, we prioritize the following key aspects of the business: Quality brand representation, innovation that matches the evolving needs of investors and end-users, strategic locations of projects, diversified portfolio, ethical and transparent Practices
Looking ahead, what are MKH Properties Limited’s long-term goals and projections for its real estate investments in Nigeria? Are there specific sectors or regions the company is eyeing for future expansion or development?
We do consider expanding our footprint beyond the current operating regions so that we can tap into emerging markets and growth opportunities across other parts of Nigeria. Also, note that the future is tech, hence, we as a company plan to leverage innovative technologies, such as advanced smart solutions applied to properties and assets, digital marketing platforms, and construction automation, to enhance efficiency, sustainability, and customer experience across real estate projects.
