Accra: The Managing Director of Enterprise Properties Limited (EPL), Kwadwo Nini Owusu, has highlighted the favorable economic conditions currently prevailing in Ghana, deeming them the most advantageous for the real estate industry in a decade. Speaking during EPL's 15th-anniversary celebration, Nini Owusu pointed out that the low inflation rates, reduced interest rates, and the strong performance of the Ghana cedi have contributed to these optimal conditions.
According to Ghana Web, Nini Owusu stated that industry players are expected to realize significant profits by 2026, with some projected to achieve returns as high as 15 percent. The real estate sector in Ghana is poised to benefit from a financing environment that has not been seen in years, driven by a combination of declining inflation, a strengthening cedi, and consistent rate cuts by the Bank of Ghana.
The market is projected to offer attractive returns in 2026, with commercial properties yielding 8-15% annually, residential assets 7-12% in rental yields, and capital appreciation between 5-10%. In 2025, property prices in prime areas increased by 8-12%, particularly in luxury apartments and gated communities. Analysts predict further growth in 2026, with property prices in high-demand locations potentially rising by an additional 10-15%, supported by economic stability and foreign investments.
During the event, Nini Owusu also shared insights into the history of EPL, a subsidiary of the Enterprise Group. The company, which began with the goal of managing the group's properties with only two staff members, has since grown to provide a wide range of services beyond the Enterprise Group and into countries like Nigeria. EPL now offers property management, facility management, leasing, project management, as well as advisory and research services.
Over the past 15 years, Enterprise Properties Limited has established a strong track record within the Enterprise ecosystem, developing capabilities that match market standards. The company's staff has expanded from 2 in 2011 to 29 today, underscoring its growth and success.
