Loft & Keys Advisory, in partnership with Dubai-based luxury developer Binghatti, organized the Buy Binghatti North Property Show in Kano on November 9 and 10, 2026. The two-day exhibition at the Meena Event Center was designed to link Northern Nigerian investors with premium real estate assets in the United Arab Emirates. According to Punch, the event brought together high-net-worth individuals and business leaders interested in diversifying their portfolios through international property markets.
The exhibition featured a wide range of residential options, including studio apartments, townhouses, and private villas. Attendees were presented with flexible payment structures, such as off-plan plans requiring an initial 20 percent deposit and post-handover arrangements. The show also highlighted potential rental yields, capital appreciation prospects, and eligibility for UAE Golden Visas through qualifying investments. Senior representatives from Binghatti, including Head of Business Development Adel Azzam and Director of Sales for Africa Abimbola Joseph, were present to conduct one-on-one consultations with prospective buyers.
Chief Austin Albert Ugochukwu, Managing Director and CEO of Loft & Keys Advisory, stated that the Kano edition demonstrated a commitment to making credible international investment opportunities accessible to Nigerians regardless of location. He noted that investors in Northern Nigeria are increasingly looking beyond domestic markets, viewing Dubai as a source for foreign-currency-denominated assets and long-term wealth creation. Loft & Keys described its role as providing the professional guidance necessary for informed decision-making.
The firm emphasized that its ambition extends beyond simple property sales, aiming to build an advisory platform that connects African investors to global opportunities. This partnership has garnered significant recognition, with Loft & Keys rising from eighth place to finish second overall in the Binghatti H1 2026 Brokers Awards. The firm retained its position as the number one partner in Africa and the leading partner in Nigeria. Punch reported that the Kano exhibition is part of a broader Binghatti Africa Property Show that has previously targeted major Nigerian markets including Lagos and Abuja.
The event underscores the growing interest among Nigerian investors in international real estate as a mechanism for portfolio diversification. By establishing a direct channel to Dubai’s luxury market, the partnership seeks to capitalize on the demand for stable, high-value assets outside the local economy. The presence of Binghatti’s senior leadership in Kano signals the developer’s strategic focus on expanding its footprint across the African continent through established local advisory networks.
