Overview
Here’s a closer look at the World Trade Centre Abuja, a landmark project in Nigeria and West Africa-set on Plot 1113, Constitution Avenue in Abuja’s Central Business District, with a price tag topping ₦152 billion.Valued at US$1 billion, the WTC Abuja is being developed by First Intercontinental Properties Ltd, a subsidiary of the Churchgate Group, and is part of the World Trade Centers Association based in New York; it’s planned as a state‑of‑the‑art complex blending sleek luxury residences, top‑tier offices, a gleaming shopping mall, upscale hospitality areas, and a full range of high‑end amenities.It’s designed to open the door to international business, trade, and diplomacy in Nigeria, reaching across the bustling ports and markets of the wider West African region.International firm Woods Bagot led the architectural and structural design, opting for a high-tech modern style rich in glass and steel.Construction began in 2011, using reinforced concrete, structural steel, and an energy-efficient glass façade built to meet global standards for earthquake and wind resistance.Today, the towers rank among Nigeria’s tallest, slicing into Abuja’s skyline with a sleek, minimalist edge that catches the afternoon sun.Key parts of the WTC Abuja Complex include Tower 1’s gleaming glass façade catching the late-afternoon sun.Tower 1 rises 24 floors and stands 110 meters tall, with more than 120 super‑luxury residences ranging from 1‑bedroom flats to sprawling 6‑bedroom penthouses; inside, you’ll find duplex apartments, a fully equipped gym, a shimmering pool, and 24/7 power, plus concierge, valet, high‑speed elevators, central air, and smart‑home features.It’s the tallest residential building in Nigeria, offering sweeping views of Abuja-Millennium Park’s green lawns stretch below, and the Presidential Villa gleams in the distance.Number two.Tower 2 rises 120 meters over 25 floors, offering AAA‑grade offices from 130 to 1,440 m² with flexible layouts for multinational corporations, government agencies, and top‑tier enterprises.Inside, you’ll find high‑speed elevators, integrated security with card access, fire safety systems, conference rooms, and a shared lounge with business support.As Nigeria’s tallest office tower, it’s designed to redefine luxury in the corporate world.Number three.Capital Mall’s retail section is still under development, with a planned floor area of around 50,000 square feet-enough space to picture rows of bright storefronts and the scent of new paint.Covering 40,000 m², the mall will feature high-end shops, luxury boutiques, and top international brands, along with cinemas, buzzing food courts, an airy indoor garden, and lively family play zones-designed to become Abuja’s most prestigious retail destination when it opens.Number four.Future plans for Towers 3 through 6 include a 5‑star hotel-managed by Grand Hyatt or another top international brand-a convention and exhibition center, and new residential and commercial towers linked by a striking sky bridge.Below ground, a three‑level garage will hold more than 1,300 cars.Guests and residents can expect luxury amenities: a full‑service gym and spa, infinity pools that catch the afternoon light, rooftop lounges, private event spaces, restaurants, cafés, and landscaped gardens with flowing water features.The site will offer round‑the‑clock security, professional property management, and business support centers.As a proud member of the World Trade Centers Association, WTC Abuja will connect companies through matchmaking, market research, trade missions, and exhibitions, opening doors to over 300 WTCs in more than 90 countries-strengthening Nigeria’s place in the global economy.In Abuja’s Central Business District, you’re steps from the Central Bank, the National Mosque, the Christian Centre, the Federal Secretariat, and Millennium Park.Major roads make getting around easy, and it’s only a 30‑minute drive from Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport.The site was picked to maximize business access, support diplomatic work, and showcase the city’s prestige.The WTC Abuja isn’t just another property project-it’s designed as a bold symbol of Nigeria’s economic ambitions, a place where global business leaders, diplomats, investors, and luxury seekers might gather under its glass-and-steel skyline.The project is expected to drive foreign investment, spark tourism and hospitality jobs, and energize local businesses-raising Nigeria’s standing as a global business hub.As new towers rise and cranes keep moving, WTC Abuja is on track to become the largest World Trade Center complex in sub-Saharan Africa.
