The year 2025 will remain a defining chapter in the journey of Smart Residences and its affiliate brands. It was a year marked by growth, expansion, recognition, and a renewed commitment to delivering premium hospitality experiences to guests from across Nigeria and around the world.
From the beginning of the year, Smart Residences continued to strengthen its presence in the hospitality and lifestyle space through its brands including The Destination, Glass Residence, HomeAway, and The Rezidence. Each property played a role in shaping an exciting and purposeful year, offering guests thoughtfully designed spaces that balance comfort, privacy, and modern living.
One of the most significant milestones of 2025 was the addition of the iconic Getaway Resort to the Smart Residences portfolio. Nestled within Abuja, Getaway Resort introduced a new dimension to the company’s offering by responding to a growing desire for nature inspired, experiential hospitality. The resort created space for rest, celebration, creativity, and reconnection, welcoming guests from near and far into an environment that feels both tranquil and intentional. Its inclusion allowed Smart Residences to meet a unique need within its customer base while expanding the meaning of luxury beyond the urban setting.
Beyond growth in assets and experiences, 2025 was also a year of measurable performance and accountability. The company recorded strong results across revenue growth, operational performance, and guest satisfaction metrics. Most importantly, it upheld high standards of compliance and governance while reinforcing its commitment to responsible business practices.
These efforts were recognized on notable platforms. During the year, Smart Residences received an international ISO certification, affirming its adherence to globally accepted standards of quality and operational excellence. The company was also recognised as a top taxpayer in Abuja, a distinction that reflects its contribution to national development and its dedication to fiscal responsibility.
At the heart of these achievements is the people behind the brand. The leadership of Smart Residences expressed deep appreciation for its team members across all units and departments whose dedication, discipline, and professionalism shaped the company’s success in 2025. Contractors, partners, and clients were also acknowledged for their trust, collaboration, and continued support throughout the year.
As 2026 approaches, Smart Residences looks ahead with confidence and clarity. The coming year promises to be even more transformative with the anticipated launch of major projects including The Definition and Uptown Mall. These developments represent the next phase of the company’s vision to create integrated lifestyle ecosystems that redefine urban living and hospitality in Nigeria.
The end of the year message from the company’s leadership is ultimately one of gratitude, optimism, and shared purpose. Gratitude to the guests who chose Smart Residences throughout 2025. Gratitude to the teams who worked tirelessly behind the scenes. Optimism for a future filled with innovation and excellence. And a shared belief that the best chapters are still ahead.
As the festive season unfolds, Smart Residences extends warm wishes to all its guests, partners, and communities. Merry Christmas and a prosperous New Year, with anticipation for a spectacular 2026 filled with meaningful experiences, growth, and continued service to people and place.
Compliments of the season from Smart Residences.
