The LandLagos siester is our vision for affordable co-living spaces in Lagos.

The aim of the Landlagos Siester is to create affordable co-living spaces that can be rented weekly and cost approximately the same as what a person working in the city would have to spend on transportation weekly to their typically far away homes.

With Lagos been the city in focus, the cost of rent on the island which houses the bulk of white collar organisations is out of reach to a working force mostly earning between N150,000- N350,000/ month. Like in most cities, they would have to move from a far off location to their places of work and back every day. Traffic jam is common and most working people spend several hours in traffic on their way home and have to wake up as early as 4:30 in the morning to get to work in time.

The cost of rent on the island is in the millions of Naira annually, monies expected to be paid upfront every year with very few option for monthly payment and almost none offering co-living arrangements. Current offerings are out of reach for the hundreds of thousands of people who work in places like Victoria Island, Lekki and Ikoyi and its environs.

Our solution is simple, co-living spaces. This systems actually already exists, we are not breaking any new grounds here, the only difference really is that we are going to be taking this concept mainstream, as well as taking some much needed steps to protect the long term viability of this venture.

With numerous Landlagos Siester’s in all the aforementioned places, we would finally be able to have a work force that is well rested and productive. A win for their organisations, a win for themselves.
