Alo & Peace Realty, a rapidly expanding real estate services firm operating across Nigeria and the United Kingdom, has unveiled The Unity Project, a flagship co-investment platform designed to make property ownership more accessible, transparent, and profitable for both local and diaspora investors.
The initiative introduces a structured model that allows multiple investors to collectively finance and co-own verified real estate developments. By pooling resources, participants can access premium projects that would typically be out of reach individually while reducing financial burden and spreading investment risk.
“I created the Unity Project because I believe every Nigerian either home or abroad deserves a fair, safe, and dignified path to ownership. For too long, people have carried fear, doubt, and disappointment when it comes to investing back home. This initiative is our answer. It’s structure, transparency, and accountability working together to restore confidence,” said Esther Alo, founder and CEO of Alo & Peace Realty.
Each Unity Project development is professionally managed using a governance framework that ensures accountability from start to finish. The model replaces informal group-buying arrangements with a clear and regulated system that includes dedicated project companies (holding companies) created for each investment, Investor funds secured in controlled accounts and disbursed only after predefined milestones.
It also includes verified land titles, project approvals, and insurance protection, frequent updates, including construction progress reports and financial summaries.
The structure gives investors full visibility into how funds are used, project timelines, and expected returns without requiring them to manage day-to-day activities.
The Unity Project was developed to solve a persistent challenge which is thousands of Nigerians in the diaspora want to invest in property but remain hesitant due to issues of trust, verification, and visibility.
Similarly, many mid-to-high-income professionals in Nigeria are seeking reliable and professionally managed co-investment opportunities while developers are eager for credible partners capable of co-financing quality projects while maintaining governance standards.
The Unity Project brings these groups together under one trusted system by fostering collaboration, unlocking growth, and redefining collective ownership in Nigeria’s property market.
“With the Unity Project, we’re opening the doors for everyday people to co-own developments that were once out of reach. This is more than investment; it’s empowerment. When we build together, we rise together,” Alo added.
The first set of Unity Project developments spans high-potential locations across Lagos, including a multi-unit residential project in the Surulere–Ikeja corridor, driven by strong tenant demand.
Harmony Homes Community, a mid-tier residential initiative with long-term capital appreciation prospects, and an additional Lagos-based project currently under assessment.
With Lagos facing a housing deficit of more than 3 million units, rising rental prices, and increasing diaspora interest, the platform offers a structured entry point into one of Nigeria’s fastest-growing real estate markets.
Alo & Peace Realty brings years of experience in property sourcing, development management, financing advisory, refurbishment oversight, and end-to-end investor support. The firm has sourced over 30 properties for both local and diaspora clients and facilitated fundraising for multiple projects in Nigeria and the UK.
The Unity Project aims to build on this foundation to create a more inclusive, trustworthy, and community-driven real estate investment landscape.
