Accra, Dec. 22, GNA – Margins ID Group, in partnership with the Korle Klottey Municipal Assembly and the Accra Metropolitan Assembly, has unveiled the Kinbu Triangle green landmark, completing an urban regeneration project in just 30 days.
The initiative, commissioned on December 19, seeks to address urban heat, environmental degradation and pedestrian safety along one of Accra’s busiest commercial corridors.
The climate-resilient space features native, drought-resistant landscaping and pedestrian-friendly design elements aimed at reducing ambient temperatures and enhancing the urban experience for surrounding schools, offices, businesses and hospitality facilities.
Speaking at the unveiling, Mr. Moses Baiden Jnr, Chief Executive Officer of Margins ID Group, said the project reflected the company’s belief that national development must extend beyond digital systems into the physical spaces people inhabit.
He noted that Margins ID Group is headquartered in the Octagon, directly opposite the site, together with its subsidiaries and special purpose vehicles, and explained that the previous state of the triangle did not reflect the standards the company aspires to as a neighbour.
“This project reflects our belief that corporate social responsibility should be practical, visible and impactful,” he said.
Mr. Baiden said the redevelopment, delivered as part of the company’s 35th anniversary corporate social responsibility initiatives, was driven by proximity to the site and a shared responsibility to improve the immediate environment.
Over the years, Margins ID Group has committed to contributing to society through Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) on Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure, Quality Education, Gender Equality and Legal Identity for All.
The Kinbu Triangle project additionally advances SDG 13 on Climate Action by reducing heat, increasing greenery and improving the overall outlook of Accra.
Mr. Kwesi Baiden, Deputy Chief Executive Officer of Margins ID Group, emphasised the importance of public–private partnership in urban development, noting that while the private sector often has strong ideas, collaboration with the public sector is key to creating well-planned, liveable cities.
He highlighted innovative features incorporated to ensure sustainability, including an automatic irrigation system, solar lighting powered by 300-watt panels, and CCTV installations to enhance security.
He called on city authorities and the public to exercise civic responsibility in protecting the facility, stressing that enforcement requires collective effort.
Accra Mayor, Michael Kpakpo Allotey, welcomed the project as a meaningful contribution to the capital and commended Margins Group for delivering an innovative and impactful intervention, describing it as one of the best Christmas gifts an institution could give to the city.
Korle Klottey Municipal Chief Executive, Alfred Allotey-Gaisie, praised the speed of execution, noting that what was expected to take about three months was delivered in under a month, and urged other corporate institutions to emulate Margins by partnering with local authorities to support urban renewal and environmental sustainability.
The Kinbu Triangle project signals Margins’ expanded approach to national development by integrating digital innovation with physical urban infrastructure while aligning with SDG 13 on climate action. It establishes a replicable model for future public–private urban regeneration projects across Accra.
