Jubrah Green Homes has officially launched its flagship solar-powered estate, Tamuno Residence, in Abuja this May. The development introduces a 96-unit residential estate powered entirely by solar energy and operating completely off-grid. It sets a bold new benchmark for sustainable housing in Nigeria and contributes to the broader movement for clean energy across West Africa.
Tamuno Residence is certified under the globally recognized EDGE (Excellence in Design for Greater Efficiencies) standard and achieves up to 96 per cent energy savings. Built with climate-resilient construction materials and designed for Nigeria’s tropical environment, the estate stands out as one of the most energy-efficient residential projects in the region.
“China’s success in meeting its clean energy goals six years ahead of schedule proves that ambitious sustainability is possible,” Engr. Haruna Julius, president of Jubrah Group said.
“At Jubrah, we’re channeling that inspiration into Nigeria’s housing and energy sectors. Tamuno Green Homes is not just a development; it’s a working model of what future-ready living looks like for Nigeria and for West Africa as a whole.”
In addition to its solar infrastructure, the estate features insulated concrete forms, cool roofing systems, and smart inverters. These technologies ensure durability, indoor comfort, and energy performance. Integrated water conservation, waste management systems, and green landscaping further elevate the estate’s environmental credentials.
Looking ahead, the company is developing an even more ambitious initiative: the _Green City District. This larger, self-sustaining community will integrate renewable energy, local entrepreneurship, and smart infrastructure to promote inclusive economic development. It is expected to ease pressure on Nigeria’s national grid, create jobs, attract remittances, and contribute significantly to tax revenue generation.
“Our homes are not just eco-friendly. They are designed to empower communities and reduce dependence on unstable infrastructure,” the president added. “We believe that sustainable housing can be both affordable and scalable, and we’re proving it.”
As Nigeria is faced with energy shortages, rising costs, and environmental vulnerability, Jubrah Green Homes is stepping forward with practical, future-oriented solutions. The company is actively working in partnerships from governments, institutions, and investors who share its vision of a greener, more resilient Nigeria.
The unveiling of Tamuno Residence pioneering green building is more than a real estate milestone. It is a statement of intent that signals a transformative shift in how residential development is approached in Nigeria and West Africa. With this project, Jubrah Green Homes is laying the foundation for a clean energy future driven by innovation, inclusivity, and sustainability.
