Why Churchgate Group leads in real estate solutions — Ahmed

The Vice President of the World Trade Centre (WTC) Abuja, Mr Karim Ahmed, has said the Churchgate Group leads in providing real estate solutions because of its ability to adapt to changing economic environments.

He said the group, the conglomerate that owns the WTC Abuja, Churchgate Plaza Abuja, and Churchgate Towers I and II in Lagos,  has a track record of providing real estate solutions for the past 30 years in Nigeria.

Ahmed who spoke to journalists at the WTC during end of the year/networking cocktail at the weekend, said the group always deploys solutions that help it weather the storms of the downturn in the economy.

He said,  “The general economic situation in Nigeria affected almost all businesses but we can remain stable and strong because of our ability to adapt to the changing environment all the time.

“Yes, this year is challenging, but we have also made significant progress. As I said, our ability to adapt to change has made us provide different solutions. Ordinarily, we used to just provide the real estate and let the customers design their spaces but what we have been doing more recently is to tailor the solutions to customers’ needs. What I mean by that is that we meet with you and provide you with the real estate solutions that you desire.”

He explained that the end-of-year cocktail was meant to forge a better 2024 in the real estate sector, adding that there are plans to go into the middle-class niche of the market.

“The goal is to celebrate the past and chart a course for the future and also create more awareness about the World Trade Centre Abuja. Because we have been a bit hesitant about going public, but the first phase of the project is completed now. We are fully operational, have clients close to us, and now need to celebrate our customers and chart a course for the new year.

“In 2024, we hope to usher in new opportunities. We have been at the threshold of breaking bonds in the real estate solutions in Nigeria. We hope that in 2024, in our position, the Church Group will be a leader in real estate office and residential provisions in the whole of Nigeria,” he added.
