The flagship real estate project of TotalEnergies Staff Housing Cooperative Multipurpose Society Limited (TEHC), Louisville Mixed-Use Development, has been honoured with two prestigious Excellence in Design for Greater Efficiencies certifications from the International Finance Corporation (IFC). These accolades, awarded at the Future Cities – Africa Green Building Summit co-hosted by the Green Building Council Nigeria (GBCN), underscore Louisville’s commitment to sustainability and excellence in green building practices.
Held 16th through 19th July 2024 at the Lagos Oriental Hotel, the Summit brought together industry leaders, policymakers, and experts to discuss climate-resilient urban development.
