A New Chapter Begins as “The Retreat” Blends Hospitality, Sustainability, and Everyday Living.
In a momentous event held on Saturday, July 28, Velox Real Estate officially allocated plots for its iconic eco resort estate, The Retreat. This is the first of its kind in South South Nigeria.
This grand milestone comes just months after the groundbreaking announcement by visionary developer Akorvueze Nwakanma, who had unveiled plans to build Rivers State’s first world-class eco-friendly resort estate. It is a bold step towards reimagining urban development in the Niger Delta.
The allocation ceremony marks not just the handover of land but the actualization of a revolutionary concept: a serene fusion of hospitality and residential living. In the words of the CEO, Akorvueze Nwakanma, “We’re not just doing real estate the conventional way. We’re building a lifestyle ,a home away from home. A destination where everyday feels like a vacation.”

Boasting an artificial lake, golf course, greenhouse farms, farm-to-table restaurants, and world-class commercial and recreational zones, The Retreat isn’t just a place to live. It’s a place to thrive. With zero carbon green zones, energy-efficient technologies, and nature-integrated architecture, the estate continues to set a new standard in eco-conscious living.
Nestled in the heart of Port Harcourt, The Retreat is designed to offer a luxurious escape from the hustle and bustle of city life. It gives families and professionals a place to unwind, connect with nature, and live in peace without ever leaving home. The estate’s core philosophy centers around creating a sanctuary that blends the warmth of hospitality with the comfort of premium residential living.
Saturday’s successful allocation brought together stakeholders, investors, and future residents, all drawn by the promise of a lifestyle that transcends traditional boundaries.
As Velox opens this next chapter, The Retreat stands not only as a development project but as a movement. It is a destination that reshapes the real estate narrative in Nigeria.
