Paul Onwuanibe Transforms Landmark: From Lagos Setback to Pan-African Expansion

The demolition of Landmark Beach Resort in Lagos wasn’t just a business setback—it was deeply personal for Paul Onwuanibe.

Landmark wasn’t merely a luxury project; it embodied a vision for Nigeria and Africa. A place where world-class infrastructure met the vibrancy of African culture, where innovative ideas took shape, and where hope for the continent’s potential thrived. Now, that hope lay in ruins.

Determined to turn loss into opportunity, Paul declared, “We will rebuild—but not here.” With a renewed sense of purpose, he shifted his focus beyond Lagos and Nigeria, imagining a pan-African future for Landmark.

Landmark’s ambitious pivot involves establishing new hubs in strategic cities like Kigali, Nairobi, and Accra. These projects aim to redefine urban spaces across Africa, showcasing the continent’s innovation, resilience, and potential.

Learning from the challenges in Lagos, the new developments prioritize community ownership, public-private partnerships, and robust legal frameworks. The proposed mixed-use complexes will blend modern architecture with sustainable design and local artistry, creating jobs, empowering small businesses, and fostering a sense of cultural pride.

Paul Onwuanibe’s vision for Landmark extends far beyond its origins, symbolizing resilience and belief in Africa’s brightest future. From the ashes of demolition comes a bold new chapter for a brand committed to redefining urban landscapes across the continent.
