Africa’s real estate landscape is on an important transformative shift as Dr. George Wachiuri, the CEO of Optiven Group, prepares for a landmark tour of Nigeria.
The week-long visit in Lagos and Abuja, from today to Tuesday next week is expected to open new frontiers for investors keen on tapping into Africa’s rapidly expanding property market.
Dr. Wachiuri, one of Africa’s most influential real estate leaders, has built a reputation for pioneering innovative housing solutions tailored for both local and diaspora investors.
His tour comes at a time when Nigeria’s real estate sector is experiencing significant growth, driven by urbanization, a rising middle class, and increased interest from foreign investors.
Speaking ahead of the tour, Dr. Wachiuri emphasized the importance of strategic investment in Africa’s property sector, urging investors to seize the opportunity.
“Real estate is one of the most stable investments, and Africa offers immense potential for those looking to build wealth while making a meaningful impact. This tour is about opening doors to transformative opportunities,” he noted.
The Nigeria visit will feature high-level discussions, networking sessions, and in-depth market analysis, providing investors with actionable insights on how to navigate the sector successfully. Key topics will include emerging real estate trends, securing high-value properties, and leveraging strategic partnerships for sustainable growth.
The visit is not just about investment – it is about empowerment.
Under his leadership, Optiven Group has redefined property ownership across Africa, offering well-planned, serviced developments with modern infrastructure, green energy solutions, and innovative financing options.
Founded over two decades ago, Optiven has helped thousands of families acquire prime properties in key regions, particularly in Kenya. The company’s projects have attracted both local and diaspora investors, seeking secure, high-return opportunities in one of Africa’s most promising real estate markets.
Dr Wachiuri and his team have in the recent past visited dozens of countries in various continents.
Apart from giving insights on property investments, most of those visits have seen those living in diaspora issued with Title Deeds.
Back at home, Dr Wachiuri has been hosting weekly engagements with Kenyans and those abroad through various media platforms.
Beyond real estate, Optiven is deeply committed to social impact, running initiatives in education, environmental conservation, and empowerment programs for people with disabilities. Through strategic partnerships – including collaborations with major financial institutions like Equity Bank – Optiven has facilitated property ownership for Africans across the globe.
Dr. Wachiuri’s Nigeria tour comes at a time when Africa’s real estate sector is gaining global attention. With a growing population, increasing urbanization, and infrastructure expansion, property investment in Africa remains one of the most lucrative opportunities of the decade.
