Why Oladigbolu’s Royal Colony Homes is powering Ogombo’s growth with accessible housing, mall

Ogombo, nestled in the rapidly evolving corridor of Eti-Osa, is no longer just a place on the map, it is a community on the brink of transformation. Over the past decade, families have settled, roads have stretched, and small businesses have quietly taken root. Yet, amid this momentum, what the community has long awaited is a development capable of focusing that growth into a coherent, thriving ecosystem.

That is exactly what Royal Colony Homes is bringing to the table, through a thoughtfully planned housing estate paired with an integrated mall, designed to blend everyday living with opportunity and enterprise. Residents will enjoy modern, affordable homes alongside a vibrant commercial hub that puts shops, essential services, and small businesses just steps away, creating convenience, boosting local entrepreneurship, and fostering a truly connected community.

At the heart of this vision is Prince Kolade Afeez Siyanbola Oladigbolu, a scion of the Oyo royal family and a former contender for the Alaafin stool. Beyond his royal pedigree, Prince Oladigbolu has earned a reputation as a visionary developer with a decade of delivering quality, integrity-driven projects. “Ogombo is poised for its defining moment,” he says. “The families here deserve homes that last, streets that welcome them, and a commercial heart that makes life easier and opportunity closer. This is why we are here, to give structure, purpose, and lasting value.”

Royal Colony Homes’ approach is deliberate and multi-layered. The estate offers affordable, high-quality homes, designed with functional layouts, green spaces, and flexible payment plans to accommodate civil servants, young professionals, and local entrepreneurs. The integrated mall, a first of its kind in the area, ensures residents have access to grocers, pharmacies, cafés, banks, and small offices, creating a vibrant hub of convenience and commerce that strengthens both the community and local enterprise.

Prince Oladigbolu frames the project as a legacy-driven undertaking. “Royalty is a responsibility,” he reflects. “It obliges us to leave communities better than we found them. Every home delivered, every space opened in the mall, is part of that commitment.” This fusion of cultural heritage and practical leadership underscores the credibility and trust Royal Colony Homes brings to the project.

“Ogombo was deliberately chosen not as an afterthought, but for its strategic potential,” Prince Kolade Oladigbolu explains. “The area is connected, emerging, and full of opportunity. By introducing a residential-commercial model, Royal Colony Homes is positioning Ogombo not just as a neighbourhood, but as a future-ready community where living and commerce coexist seamlessly.”

He continues, “The project will have a significant economic impact. Construction alone is creating jobs for masons, engineers, suppliers, and artisans. Once the mall opens, it will generate direct employment, provide retail space for local traders, and ensure that spending circulates within the community, amplifying Ogombo’s economic footprint. Infrastructure such as roads, drainage, and electricity is being integrated from the outset, ensuring the estate is resilient and sustainable.”

Architecturally, the estate balances modern aesthetics and human-centric design. Low-rise structures, landscaped communal areas, and pedestrian-friendly walkways foster interaction and neighborliness. The mall is flexible, accommodating retail, service providers, and casual communal spaces, making it the pulsing heart of community life.

Royal Colony Homes’ track record of timely delivery, professional project management, and clear land titles further cements confidence in the development. With Prince Oladigbolu’s visibility and reputation, the project signals accountability, trust, and forward-looking leadership, qualities rare in Lagos’ competitive real estate sector.

“This is not about luxury for its own sake,” the Prince explains. “It is liveable affordability, homes and spaces that empower teachers, civil servants, and small traders. The mall extends that empowerment by giving enterprise a home.”

Ogombo’s evolution is no longer incidental, it is intentional, guided, and sustainable. By merging residential and commercial life, Royal Colony Homes is setting a new template for community-focused urban development: one that thrives economically, socially, and culturally.

“Fifty years from now,” Prince Oladigbolu reflects, “children walking these streets should see evidence that someone cared enough to build for them, not just for profit.”

With foundations laid, momentum building, and a vision that bridges heritage and modernity, Royal Colony Homes’ Ogombo estate and integrated mall promise more than homes, they promise a thriving, sustainable community anchored in opportunity, convenience, and legacy.
