Pumpkin Property, a fast-growing real estate development firm, has introduced a new housing initiative that integrates high-speed satellite internet into its residential estates, in a move aimed at redefining modern living standards in Nigeria.
The chief executive officer of Pumpkin Holdings Limited, Mr Oladeji Bamidele, said the initiative underscores the company’s commitment to building future-ready communities where digital connectivity is treated as an essential service alongside electricity and water.
Under the initiative, homebuyers in selected Pumpkin Property estates will receive Starlink hardware, professional installation and three months of complimentary high-speed internet subscription upon purchasing a home.
The company said the offer will initially be available at Prime Living Estate and Prime View Estate located within Millennium City in Kaduna State, as well as Pumpkin Homes in Karsana, Abuja.
Pumpkin Property noted that it focuses on developing well-planned residential communities supported by essential infrastructure, including road networks, drainage systems, street lighting and modern utilities, while also incorporating innovative technologies designed to enhance residents’ quality of life.
To support the rollout of the initiative, the firm has entered into a collaboration agreement with Konga Online Nigeria Limited for the supply, installation and technical support of Starlink hardware and related connectivity products across its housing projects nationwide.
The company has also partnered with TD Africa, an authorised distributor of Starlink solutions in Africa, to ensure direct access to the latest Starlink hardware, including Starlink kits and accessories, for seamless deployment within its estates.
Starlink, the satellite internet constellation developed by SpaceX, delivers high-speed broadband connectivity through a network of low-Earth orbit satellites, expanding internet access to areas where traditional fibre or terrestrial infrastructure remains limited.
Bamidele said integrating satellite connectivity into housing developments would enable residents to enjoy reliable internet services from the moment they move into their homes.
He added that the initiative positions Pumpkin Property at the forefront of technology-driven real estate development in Nigeria, while setting a new benchmark for smart living communities.
The company encouraged prospective homeowners and investors interested in the Starlink-powered homes at Prime Living Estate and Prime View Estate in Millennium City, Kaduna, and Pumpkin Homes in Karsana, Abuja, to contact Pumpkin Property for further information on availability and purchase options.
