Picture this. It's August 2023. A young mechanical engineer sits in a modest office in Delta State, flanked by nothing but a laptop, a CAC registration certificate, and a vision most would call audacious. He looks at the camera, adjusts his lapel, and says three words that would become his mantra: "Building Legacies, Shaping Futures."
Three years later, that same engineer—Engr. Ikharo Aruna Shaka, known across Nigeria as Ikharo Royalty—presides over a real estate empire that has delivered over 12 premium estates, served more than 2,500 satisfied clients, and achieved a staggering 98% client satisfaction rate. The company? LA’REALEZA INTERNATIONAL LIMITED. The mission? To bring regal standards to Nigerian real estate—one verified plot at a time.
This is not just a company profile. This is a masterclass in vision, integrity, and the audacity to build something that lasts. Welcome to the world of LA’REALEZA—where the name says it all. La Realeza, Spanish for "royalty," is not merely a brand. It is a promise.
👑 A Crown Is Not Born—It Is Forged
Every empire has an origin story, and LA’REALEZA's is etched in both heritage and hustle.
Engr. Ikharo Royalty did not stumble into real estate. He was engineered for it. A graduate of Mechanical Engineering Technology from the prestigious Federal Polytechnic Auchi (HND, 2019–2022), Ikharo cut his professional teeth at SecureID Limited, where he mastered operations, compliance, and the art of building systems that work. He later sharpened his business acumen with professional certifications in Project Management and Customer Service & Relationship Management from SKILLSEDGE CONSULTING LTD, Abuja.
But the real education came in the trenches. As a Business Owner at PWAN Group—one of Nigeria's largest real estate networks—and a Real Estate Consultant at La'realeza Properties, Ikharo witnessed firsthand the twin plagues of the Nigerian property market: fraudulent land deals and investor mistrust. He didn't just observe these problems. He decided to solve them.
"We set out to create spaces that inspire, communities that thrive, and investments that appreciate—all while maintaining the highest standards of integrity and excellence."
— Engr. Ikharo Royalty
On 15 August 2023, LA’REALEZA INTERNATIONAL LIMITED was officially incorporated under CAMA with registration number RC 7097545. The legal address: Delta State, Nigeria. The operational footprint: Lagos, Asaba, and expanding. The mission: crystal clear.
🏗️ More Than a Real Estate Company—An Ecosystem of Trust

🌆 The Crown Jewels: A Tour Through the Estates
With over 12 premium estates and counting, LA’REALEZA's portfolio reads like a who's-who of strategic property development. Let's take a tour:
✈️ Airport Horizon Estate
The crown jewel. Located near Asaba International Airport and Okpanam City Gate, this estate offers 464 sqm plots at a special pre-launch price of ₦2.5 million (actual value: ₦3.5 million). Think security houses, perimeter fencing, tarred roads, drainage, recreational facilities, and street lights. Proximity? Ten minutes to Summit Junction, thirteen to Asaba Shoprite, fifteen to Government House. For diaspora investors, this is the ultimate homecoming investment.
🤖 Pinnacle Smart City
Located in Atuma-Iga, Asaba, this is LA’REALEZA's bold step into the future. Plot sizes range from 300 to 464 sqm, priced between ₦1.15 million and ₦2 million.

This is not just an estate—it is a smart urban ecosystem designed for the forward-thinking investor.
