The project which comprises a 100 unit of three semi-detached and two-bedroom terrace houses is located on the fast-growing Lekki-Epe corridor within five minutes drive from the popular Novare Mall at Sangotedo.

The scheme offers customers access to the National Housing Fund Mortgage at six percent and a flexible equity contribution payable over 12 months.

Speaking during the ground-breaking of the scheme last week, Akindolire said: “access to housing finance is one of the biggest challenges of home ownership for the middle-income class in Nigeria today.  Nigerians.

“With the support of our partner mortgage banks, subscribers of the projects who are NHF contributors will be able to access up to N15 million mortgage loan at an unbeatable six percent rate. In addition to this, we have ensured that the equity contribution for this project is affordable and flexible.

“The project has been structured to help our customers enjoy the good things of life while on the journey to owning their homes. It is as simple as making a deposit of N1.5 million and spread the outstanding equity over the next 12 months and enjoy the benefit of mortgage at six percent”, AMDC boss said.

In his remarks, Dada Thomas, Chairman of AMDC, commented: “with Nigeria’s housing deficit widening in response to its growing population, Green Park Homes is one of the ways AMDC is catering to the growing middle-income class. With this scheme, we want to deliver quality and affordable housing fast”.
