Plans for City Walk Abuja have been revealed by Link Developments featuring a public space masterplan designed by Benoy.

Located on the principal corridor linking Abuja’s central business district with Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport in Nigeria, within a government-designated Free Trade Zone, City Walk Abuja has been conceived as a “world-class destination where businesses, residents, and visitors can live, work, and connect within a sustainable, technology-enabled urban environment,” says Link Developments.

Spanning over 200 hectares, the landmark will host Africa’s tallest tower, reaching 450m, alongside an international arena, designed around a dramatic natural ravine that forms the project’s ecological spine.

City Walk Abuja will combine landscaped public space, biodiversity corridors, and sustainable water management systems with smart infrastructure and walkable neighbourhoods.

Link Developments has appointed Broadgate Developments Group Ltd as Development and Construction Management Advisor.

Peter Young, chief executive officer of Broadgate Developments, comments on the project:

“City Walk Abuja represents the type of transformational development where vision, technical excellence, and disciplined execution must work together seamlessly. We look forward to working alongside Link, Benoy, and the wider professional team to help deliver a destination that has the potential to establish a new benchmark for integrated urban development in Africa.”

The new district will be designed to support Nigeria’s long-term economic growth and reinforce Abuja’s position as one of Africa’s leading capitals.
