PROJECT: PURPLE MARYLAND (FORMERLY KNOWN AS THE MARYLAND MALL)
CLIENT: PURPLE CAPITAL PARTNERS LIMITED
LOCATION: MARYLAND, LAGOS
TYPE: COMMERCIAL & RETAIL DEVELOPMENT (SHOPPING MALL)
PROJECT OVERVIEW:
Horatio Limited was contracted to deliver the redevelopment and construction of Purple Maryland, a vibrant mixed-use development previously known as Maryland Mall, designed to bring retail, entertainment and lifestyle spaces together in one location. The development includes more than 40 shopping outlets, banks, restaurants, a supermarket and a cinema that would serve a diverse urban population.
THE CHALLENGE:
The client required a modern, multi-story commercial hub that could accommodate diverse retail and entertainment demands. The design needed to enhance visitor experience while maintaining structural efficiency and aesthetic uniqueness, including its iconic black exterior and large LED façade screen.
THE HORATIO SOLUTION
Horatio executed the construction and integrated installations required to bring the mixed-use development to life, ensuring functionality across retail, service and entertainment components. The scope included:
Full building construction with building-wide safety installations
Full MEP installations to support retail and entertainment operations
Interior fit-out of malls, retail spaces, circulation areas and service cores
External works including parking, drainage, and access routes
Through close coordination with the client’s design and leasing teams, we executed a development that is both functional and visually compelling.
THE IMPACT
Purple Maryland has become one of Lagos’ most recognizable commercial destinations, known for its striking façade, high tenant mix and strong footfall. Till date, the structure attracts retailers, businesses and visitors to a refreshed urban landmark. The project demonstrates Horatio’s capability in delivering modern, multi-functional urban retail developments.
