Speak to Our TeamLocal Expertise
Catalyst Business Consult is a real estate company headquartered in the heart of the Yaba axis, at Abule-Oja beside the University of Lagos. We have spent years buying, selling, building, and managing property across Yaba, Akoka, Abule-Oja, Onike, Iwaya, and Alagomeji. When you work with us, you are not dealing with an Island agency guessing at Mainland prices. You are dealing with the team that lives in this market every day.
Whether you want to rent an apartment in Yaba, buy a home, acquire land, or invest in student housing and shortlets around UNILAG, our brokerage handles search, verification, negotiation, and documentation end to end. Every property we present has been physically inspected and every title checked before you see it.
Yaba is one of the strongest rental markets on the Lagos mainland, powered by the university, the tech cluster around Sabo and Herbert Macaulay Way, and its position between the Island and the Mainland. Prices here have appreciated around 9% annually, and well-located two-bedroom apartments now command some of the best rents outside the Island.
What We Do Here
Verified one, two, and three-bedroom apartments for rent and sale across Yaba, Akoka, Alagomeji, and Sabo. Every listing physically inspected, every landlord verified, no ghost listings.
Investment and management of hostels, self-contains, and serviced shortlet apartments serving UNILAG, YabaTech, and the tech cluster, the strongest occupancy market on the mainland.
Sourcing, title verification, and development of redevelopment plots in the Yaba axis, from single plots to multi-unit projects, with full documentation support.
Why This Area
Yaba combines three demand engines few Lagos neighbourhoods can match. The University of Lagos and Yaba College of Technology anchor a permanent student and staff rental base. The tech cluster ("Yabacon Valley") keeps drawing young professionals who want to live near work. And the Third Mainland Bridge and rail connections make it one of the best-connected points on the mainland.
