Sustainable Real Estate Conference (SREC): Pioneering a Future of People, Planet, and Profit

The Sustainable Real Estate Conference (SREC) by Majescity Real Estate & Investments brought together industry leaders, investors, and real estate enthusiasts to discuss the future of sustainable real estate. Held at the Stanel Dome, Enugu-Onitsha Expressway, Awka, Anambra, on Saturday, March 29, 2025, this landmark event emphasized the intersection of real estate with economic growth, environmental responsibility, and societal advancement.

Opening Highlights & Keynote Address

The conference kicked off with a red carpet session hosted by Miriam Tochi Godspower, followed by warm welcomes from Stephen Norbert and Regina. Renowned wordsmith Okwuchukwu Okonkwo set the tone with an insightful opening remark, after which Zuby with Media showcased a compelling 1-year anniversary milestone video of Majescity.

The keynote speaker, Kelechi Deca, a multilingual development journalist, delivered a thought-provoking address on “Building for Tomorrow: The Role of Real Estate in Sustainable Human Development.” His discussion highlighted the South-East region’s potential, noting that though the area spans about 78,000 square kilometers—five times the size of New York City—it remains underpopulated compared to the American metropolis.

Key Takeaways: The Future of Sustainable Real Estate

• Urban Development Lessons: London’s first central sewage system (1861) and underground station (1891) showcased how infrastructure innovation drives long-term urban growth.

• Global Real Estate Trends: Japan has outbuilt its population, leaving thousands of uninhabited houses, a cautionary tale for markets expanding too aggressively without demand alignment.

• Enugu’s Strategic Advantage: Governor Peter Mbah’s vision to transform the Akanu Ibiam International Airport into a cargo hub further underscores Enugu’s ambition to become an agro-export powerhouse.

Final Thought: Are We Ready for the Future?
