The Project<\/strong><\/p>\nAppolonia City, Accra\u2019s new city development, will build 100 affordable homes as part of a partnership with the country\u2019s leading mortgage provider, Ghana Home Loans. The multi-million dollar project on six acres of land at Appolonia City will commence construction in the third quarter of 2017, with all 100 homes due for completion within 18 months. The project represents the first phase of a strategic partnership that aims to address the housing deficit in Ghana.<\/p>\n
The project will benefit from Appolonia City\u2019s high-quality infrastructure, including tarred roads, ICT networking and integrated safety and security systems, as well as social infrastructure, such as schools, clinics, open green space and shops \u2013 all at an affordable price, starting from $45,000.<\/p>\n
The partnership brings together Ghana Home Loans, which is backed by Abraaj Group, International Finance Corporation and the Overseas Private Investment Corporation, and Rendeavour, the developer of Appolonia City, which is a unique partnership between the Chiefs, elders and community of the Appolonia stool in Ghana.<\/p>\n
