Atlantic Edge, a Premium Property Rocks Ikoyi

Atlantic Edge is a fine piece of real estate that exudes luxury in the extreme. This property is designed and rendered for classy clients who desire to live large in a huge interior, including space and facilities. Bennett Oghifo writes

Atlantic Edge, an incredible masterpiece, is located in a choice axis of Mojisola Onikoyi Estate, Ikoyi, one of the most sought-after locations in Lagos. 

It is a gated community with restricted access and enhanced security. The community boasts top-ranking, high-net-worth individuals. Surrounding neighbourhoods include Banana Island, Shoreline Estate and Park View Estate. Atlantic Edge overlooks Shoreline Estate with breathtaking views of Five Cowry Creek and IkoyiLekki Link Bridge.

Having an unconventional design, Atlantic Edge is the creation of a perfectionist with an eye for details who spared no expense in its rendition. This exquisite building is wired for a complete smart home experience.

The building stands elegantly with the full block offering eight exclusive luxury units of different forms, including a one-bedroom apartment on the first floor. The second and third floors comprise four three-bedroom apartments, two on each floor with a BQ each; two typical four-bedroom maisonettes are on the fourth and fifth floors with a guest room and a BQ; and a double volume penthouse- on two floors with two BQs, three family lounges.

There is a suspended swimming pool with a pool shower and a lounge on the first floor. Also on the first floor is a fully equipped gym, drivers’ lounge, equipped for relaxation and overnight stay if necessary, and the facility manager’s office.

All the rooms have huge windows and equally large external slide doors- these are covered with double-glazed glass with great acoustic and thermal control effects.

There are boilers for hot water in all apartments in the building. 

But the first part is the curtain to the ground floor which has a fine arrangement for parking — 18 spaces — and free movement of vehicles for all of the homeowners. Owners of three-bedroom apartments have spaces for two cars. The maisonette has spaces for three cars, and the penthouse has three cars. These cars move unobstructedly into the parking spaces through the entry gate and exit through the out gate, at the side of which is a gatehouse.

The water treatment facility is tucked neatly at the back of the parking lot, and at another corner is the engine to pump water for the fire hydrants on all floors. Also on the ground floor is the generator house.

There are CCTV cameras in all public spaces and speakers everywhere for information and music. All rooms have air conditioners and chillers, and the engines are concealed in ventilated encasements with the exhaust water piped to an underground reservoir.

Movement from the car park to every floor is by means of an eight-passenger elevator in front and an easy-to-walk staircase at the back of the building. The staircase can function as an emergency exit and service. There is a subtle but unmistakable access control within the building.

The penthouse is luxurious, with a large living room downstairs and three lounges upstairs. It has two BQs. It has a massive double-volume sitting room cooled with central air conditioning.

There is a rare lavishness about the penthouse. The kitchen is huge and has a regular room-size pantry. The bathroom is massive, and so is the walk-in wardrobe — a lady’s dream space. There is also a spacious, fully fitted kitchen in all the apartments.

The penthouse commands a 360-view of a good stretch of Lagos, including Banana Island, Victoria Island, the gentle movement of the Lagoon and the ever-busy Third Mainland Bridge. 
The building has a dedicated electricity transformer and a distribution facility which supplies the building through an underground armoured cable- a neater arrangement. The road in front of the building will be paved with interlocking stones. Its side will be grassed and planted with beautiful flowers.
