Sunrise Hills Estate

Sunrise Hills Estate is a mixed-use estate in the Asokoro district of Abuja, Nigeria's capital. It is developed by Nadeem Group through its real estate company, Sunrise Estate Development (SED). The developer puts the site at about 5.78 million square meters, or 578 hectares (project page, history page). It combines housing with a five-star hotel, a mall, places of worship, public squares and schools.

What the developer publishes

The details below come from Nadeem Group's website: the project page, the real estate development page, the history page and the home page.

• Location: Asokoro district, Abuja (Federal Capital Territory, Nigeria). The developer says the estate's commercial strip runs along one of the country's busiest highways (project page).
• Size: about 5.78 million square meters on the project page and the group's home page, and 578 hectares on its history page. Another page on the same site calls it a five million square meter project. The 5.78 million figure is the most detailed one the developer publishes.
• Announced components: residential units, a five-star hotel, a mall, places of worship, public squares and schools (project page).
• Density: the developer describes a low-rise estate at low to medium density, with 75 percent of the land kept as green area (project page).
• Management: Nadeem Group advertises security and 24-hour property management. It also says it handles landscaping, mechanical maintenance and cleaning once construction is finished (real estate development page).
• Project value: USD 2.5 billion, according to the project page on the group's site. That figure covers the whole development. It is not a sale price.

Published history

The group's history page says Sunrise Estate Development started the Sunrise Hills master plan in 2001. Phase 1 launched in 2009 as a low-rise, low-density residential estate with more than 110 homes. In 2020, the developer reported phase 1 as 90 percent occupied and said phase 2 had started. The group also says it was called Setraco Group until 2021, when it became Nadeem Group. That is why some property databases still list Setraco as the developer.

The developer

Nadeem Group describes itself as an engineering, real estate, hospitality and management consultancy group. It works in Nigeria, Lebanon, Iraq and Dubai. Its founder and chairman, Said Khalaf, set up his first company in Nigeria in 1977 (history page). The developer presents Sunrise Hills as his vision.
