History was made on Saturday, July 6, 2013 when the first occupant at the Grenadines Homes, Citiview Estate, Arepo in Ogun State, officially took possession of his dwelling unit – an imposing four-bedroom detached duplex christened “Grenadines Mansion”.

Designed by the firm of Play In Architecture Limited and built within six months, the Grenadines Mansion sits on three floors with a Boys’ Quarters. Grenadines Homes also features “Grenadines Heights”, which is a variant of “Grenadines Mansion” as it is also a four-bedroom detached apartment on three levels. The estate also displays the four-bedroom semi-detached duplex.

“The estate is contemporary, unique and designed to entertain the owner,” he added.
Head of Play In Architecture Limited, Mr. Tona Ladega, described the estate and the dwelling units as futuristic in its layout and design, giving ample access to every corner of the building, “such that moving from the garage to the bedrooms is totally fluid and effortless.”
He added: “Luxury is not location bound. It can find root anywhere, as long as those things that are integral to luxury living are available. The Grenadines Homes, Arepo is a wholesome experience expression of luxury, with the added advantage of being away from the noise and pollution of the city.”
Located just outside the city limits, Grenadines Estate is a few minutes’ drive from the Lagos State Secretariat at Alausa and the Murtala Muhammed International Airport, and close proximity to business community of Victoria Island and Ikoyi.
