Demand for developed and underdeveloped land within the suburbs like Ibeju Lekki, Arepo, Simawa, Mowe, Agbara and Ikorodu has recorded no evident change in demand compared with the 4th quarter of 2019.
Commercial Real Estate:
The commercial real estate sector relies on cash flow and is hugely affected by low occupancy rates in the hotel sector to the closure of commercial spaces due to social distancing and stay at home order.
