ALEX KYRIAKIDIS
President and Managing Director
Middle East and Africa, Marriott
International.
“The Renaissance Lagos Hotel and Marri-
ott Executive Apartments will be a signifi-
cant addition to our strong Nigeria portfo-
lio. There is a growing need for high calibre
short and extended stay lodging in Nigeria
and we believe the two hotels together will
help bridge this gap”
ELIZABETH NKUKUU
Head of Real Estate, Cytonn Invest-
ments, Kenya
“A key benefit of investing in RiverRun
Estates is that it seeks to provide a live,
work and play environment, so a resident
choosing to live and work within this de-
velopment will not be subjected to traffic
congestion, among other challenges which
are common around the CBD.”
CHILUFYA LOMBE
Director at Solid Green Consulting
In Nigeria, we have found that energy
efficiency can have a bigger impact than
renewables. It is easier to build a building
to consume 30 to 40% less energy than to
pay to add renewable technology onto an
inefficient building.
