The posting

Rendeavour, Africa’s new city builder, is backed by American, Norwegian, New Zealand and British investors. Rendeavour’s cities – in Nigeria, Kenya, Ghana and Democratic Republic of the Congo – are among the largest construction projects in Africa and hubs for businesses, homes, education and recreation within infrastructure-ready economic zones.

Current development at Rendeavour is valued at more than $5 billion, with 150 businesses, schools educating more than 6,000 students and 10,000 mixed-income homes.

Rendeavour has created more than 50,000 jobs in the last five years, including the largest call centre in East Africa, staffed by 5,000 young Kenyans serving major American customers like United Airlines, JetBlue and Amazon. A further 4,000 call centre jobs are confirmed by 2026.

As part of its next stage of growth, Rendeavour is building a leading education business, with a focus on rolling out educational institutions across the Rendeavour portfolio, starting with a premium British K-12 school at Rendeavour’s Alaro City project in Lagos, Nigeria, targeting a school launch date of September 2027.

Alaro City is one of the fastest-growing real estate and urban development projects in Nigeria. It is conceived on 2,000 hectares of land and has areas for offices, logistics and warehousing, homes, schools, healthcare facilities, hotels, entertainment, and 150 hectares of parks and open spaces.

Located in the North West Quadrant of the Lekki Free Zone, Alaro City is ideally situated on the Lekki-Epe Expressway for ease of transportation to Lagos or towards the rest of Nigeria.

Alaro City is a secure, predictable, and proven environment for individuals and businesses, and already home to investments by notable global and local businesses such as BUA Group, CAT (Mantrac), Ariel Foods, Kenol, SANA Group, and international real estate developers and investors.

It is in close proximity to the new Lagos international airport and closes to the region’s largest deep-sea port and major Nigerian and international companies.
