Lagos State EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The proposed LAMAT A Corporate Headquarters Building which is aimed at enhancing the corporate image and increasing efficiency is highly desirable because of its obvious benefits and positive impacts. The proposed LAMA TA Corporate Headquarters building is expected to be a bio-climatic building, a building that functions with minimal inputs from its occupants, building that lives, and an intelligent building. The building shall be designed for both LAMAT A Staff and also for office lease. It will consist of 12 floors of which two floors can be used for car park. The Project lifespan is expected to be not less than 50 years.
