The land swap model of the Federal Capital Territory Administration kicked-off on Thursday April 18th with a ceremony for the development of a new world class district in Abuja called The Carraway Dallas District, named after the first black mayor of Dallas, Dwaine Carraway.

Individuals are expected to provide the required infrastructures within the districts in exchange for 60% of buildable plots, while 40% would be retained by the Federal Capital Territory Administration for allocation.

The district is designed to have 9-hole golf course, schools, police station, fire service station, car parking facilities, residential areas grouped into smaller communities and villas, stunning views over the valley, recreational areas, mosque, church, shopping mall, farmers’ market, hospital, artificial lake, sports club, and a luxury hotel. The district covers a land mass of 220 hectares
