Gtext Holdings, in partnership with SACI Holdings, has rolled out expansion plans at the 10th anniversary of its real estate arm with a press event and praise session at Delborough Hotel, Victoria Island, Lagos.
The celebration brought together staff, partners and stakeholders, with the company unveiling subsidiaries, a Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC)-licensed acquisition, and plans for a Guinness World Record attempt.
Founder and Chairman, Dr. Stephen Akintayo, described the milestone as proof of stability.
“Ten years means you have your footing. In a world where companies crash in two to three years, surviving 10 years in real estate shows your foundation is solid,” he said.

Akintayo noted the group’s private equity structure has been central to its growth.
“Our private equity structure allows us to identify and grow top businesses. These strategic moves are part of a broader vision to deliver value in real estate, finance and technology,” he said.
He added that the anniversary marked a springboard for broader expansion.
“Our journey has always been about scale and sustainability. As we enter our second decade, we remain focused on innovation, investor trust and building communities that last,” he added.
A highlight of the announcements was the acquisition of a Nigerian firm licensed by the SEC to provide fund management, asset management and private equity services. Akintayo explained that the acquisition would further strengthen Gtext’s credibility with investors.
“This acquisition underscores our commitment to regulatory compliance and investor trust. We are awaiting SEC approval for a rebrand, which will position the entity as a stronger platform for diversified investments,” he said.
Chief Executive Officer, Soonie Osuki, disclosed that the group has also launched a new subsidiary, Gtext Construction, to handle the construction value chain.
She explained that the unit would drive quality assurance, cost efficiency and timely delivery, while bringing to life Gtext’s “Green and Smart” estate concepts.
The company also recognised staff members who have served for over a decade, rewarding more than 14 pioneer employees with land, international trips and cash gifts.
“Our people are our greatest asset. Their loyalty and dedication have been the foundation of our success,” said one of the awardees, Vivian Amaechi.
Group Chief Operations Officer, Bukola Lukan, clarified that Gtext USA and Gtext Nigeria remain distinct legal entities, each regulated separately but driven by the same vision.
In line with its global ambitions, the group announced plans to host the Largest Real Estate Conference in the World in a Tent on December 20, 2025. The Guinness World Record attempt is expected to attract 10,000 physical attendees and over 100,000 virtual participants.
