    Firm adopts financing model for homeowners

    An operator in  Nigeria’s real estate ecosystem, GMH Luxury has adopted  the structural financing model for investors and aspiring homeowners.

    The model the company said is  part of strategies to navigate shifting buyers’  preference and the country’s inflationary environment.

    Its Chief Executive Officer,  Engineer Kuyebi Ayoolanrewaju , who disclosed this at a briefing to mark GMH Luxury’s tenth anniversary said the new model christened :” Equitable Finance”, allows aspiring homeowners and investors to  participate in projects with as little as 10 per cent equity, giving them access to capital appreciation without needing full ownership.

    The  model, which is pulling traction in the construction value chain, he said has  become compelling because of the effects of inflationary trends adversely distorting cost components in building materials.

    He said many Nigerians were embracing the model , as part of strategies to drive sustainability in the business.

    According to Ayoolanrewaju,  consumer behaviour has changed, as many buyers are now more informed and  cautious.

    He said developments in the sector now propel aspiring homeowners and subscribers to show up for inspections with architects  asking  detailed questions about the  finishing stage of projects.

      But, the company he said is not worried , as it is  responding  by staying transparent and ensuring quality at every stage of projects.

    He said :” We continue to  focus on transparency and customer satisfaction , which remains central to GMH’s brand promise. We are the only   company among  the few in the sector that does not penalise subscribers for pulling out of projects due to financial constraints. We  provide clients with daily visibility into project progress, something rarely seen in the real estate market’’.

    On sustainability, GMH Luxury boss  shared its forward-thinking approach to green development. From implementing biodigester systems and green landscaping to integrating solar and gas turbine solutions to reduce diesel generator use, the company’s  goal, he said, is to deliver projects that are not just luxurious but responsible.

    He said : ‘’Each development has a trust structure funded by homeowners themselves to ensure continuous upgrades and efficient maintenance, which ensures our facilities still work years after handover.”

    Looking ahead, GMH Luxury, he said  plans to extend its footprint with a five-star resort on the Lagos Peninsula, while continuing to redefine urban luxury with hotel apartments, lifestyle residences, and tech-enabled homes.

    He said :” As GMH Luxury is celebrating  its 10 years of delivering excellence and rewriting  history in Nigeria’s real estate landscape, we continue to consolidate our  tradition of transparency and accountability.”

    Giving an update on the company’s growth trajectory,  he said it transformed  from an outfit with an  initial investment of  N570,000 to a real estate powerhouse worth over N60 billion with well over 100 housing units  delivered and about 400 to be delivered with exceptional quality.  

    He said  the company will continue to push for  innovations and bold ambitions for the future, reaffirming its status as a customer-first real estate company committed to sustainability, trust, and technological evolution in the real estate industry.

    Ayoolanrewaju said:  “At GMH Luxury, evolution is not a choice, it’s a necessity. We were the first to deliver a purpose-built maisonette in Parkview, Ikoyi, and develop apartment complexes in Gbagada. We’re integrating AI into construction and introducing smart living solutions like facility-based cloud storage and remote power management.”

    Modupe Sonola, Chief Operating Officer GMH Luxury, in her remark said, “This milestone is a moment to reaffirm our commitment to transparency, quality, integrity, and sustainability,”.

    GMH Luxury adopts structural financing model for investors, homeowners

    A key player in Nigeria’s real estate sector, GMH Luxury, has introduced a structural financing approach called “Equitable Finance” to help investors and aspiring homeowners navigate inflation and evolving buyer preferences.

    Speaking at a briefing to mark the company’s tenth anniversary, GMH Luxury’s Chief Executive Officer, Kuyebi Ayoolanrewaju, said the model enables individuals to participate in property projects with as little as 10% equity. This, he noted, allows them to benefit from capital appreciation without needing full ownership upfront.

    Ayoolanrewaju explained that the Equitable Finance model is gaining popularity within the construction value chain, as inflation continues to distort building material costs. He noted that the approach is being embraced as a sustainable solution in a challenging economic environment.

    He also observed a shift in consumer behaviour, stating that today’s buyers are more informed and cautious.

    “Prospective homeowners are increasingly involved in the project process—from attending inspections to asking detailed questions about finishes,” he said.

    Despite these rising expectations, Ayoolanrewaju assured that GMH Luxury remains committed to transparency and quality delivery at every stage of its projects.

    He said, “We continue to focus on transparency and customer satisfaction, which remains central to GMH’s brand promise. We are the only company among the few in the sector that does not penalise subscribers for pulling out of the project due to financial constraints. We provide clients with daily visibility into project progress, something rarely seen in the real estate market.”
