In the heart of the bustling city of Lagos, stands majestic Desiderata, a commercial building destined to become a landmark in high-end office space. Located in the prestigious Banana Island area, this architectural complex, developed by Funtierra Limited, offers innovative, state-of-the-art space to meet the needs of international and multinational companies.
With a total area of about 4,700 square meters, including 4,000 dedicated to office space and 220 to rooftop terraces with views of the sky, Desiderata stands out for its modern and functional design. Thanks to the collaboration with K3 Alu Products and the work of internationally renowned architects, the project features carefully designed facades to ensure not only attractive aesthetics but also high-level technical performance.
Desiderata's strategic location, close to important neighborhoods such as Victoria Island and Lekki Phase 1, makes it ideal for companies seeking a prime location in the beating heart of Lagos. Although Banana Island is known primarily for its luxury residences, the increase in commercial real estate developments, such as Airtel Headquarters and Lakepoint Towers, confirms the growing interest in the area.
Monterossa Construction, already engaged in the construction of Lakepoint Towers, is the main contractor for Desiderata, ensuring the highest quality construction of this ambitious project. In addition, the design team, consisting of experts such as Lambert, MOA Partnership, Hydrock and Sea Surveyors, has worked hard to ensure a state-of-the-art architectural and engineering solution.
According to AWW architects, who collaborated with Delano Architects on the design, the building was conceived with careful consideration of climate requirements, with a VRF system identified as the most effective solution to meet the region's environmental challenges.
Desiderata is not just a commercial building, but a true experience. Located in the heart of one of Lagos' most exclusive neighborhoods, it offers occupants a unique working environment characterized by comfort, efficiency, and prestige. With state-of-the-art amenities and meticulous attention to every detail, Desiderata promises to become the ideal place for companies seeking excellence and success in the dynamic city of Lagos.
