Ghana Property Awards celebrates 18 years of excellence
The 18th Ghana Property Awards brought renewed prestige to the Accra International Conference Centre on November 29, 2025, as leading developers, policymakers, financiers and sector professionals gathered to celebrate exceptional achievements within the country’s real estate and construction industry.
The event reaffirmed its standing as Ghana’s most credible platform for honouring excellence across the property value chain, marking nearly two decades of industry impact.
Opening the ceremony, Director of the Ghana Property Awards, Madam Irene Agyenkwa, urged the sector to intensify innovation and resilience in the face of global economic pressures. She praised developers and service providers for their contributions to Ghana’s evolving real estate landscape, noting rising demand for both residential and commercial properties. Madam Agyenkwa also underscored the growing influence of technology and emphasised land banking as a critical foundation for sustainable national development.
The chairman for the event and Chief Executive Officer of PS Global Ltd, Mr Patrick Ebo Bonful, used his address to highlight the importance of efficient land banking systems. He commended the Lands Commission for progress in the digitisation of land records and enhanced transparency, while acknowledging enduring challenges such as land litigation, tenure insecurity and conflicts in land use. Mr Bonful stressed that effective land banking is essential not only for economic stability but also for environmental sustainability and the expansion of key social infrastructure, including schools, hospitals and affordable housing projects.
Representing the Minister for Works and Housing and Water Resources, the Public Relations Officer of the Rent Control Department, Mr Emmanuel Hovey Kporsu, reaffirmed government’s commitment to elevating land banking as a national priority. In his remarks, he described land as the backbone of Ghana’s housing and infrastructure agenda and called for stronger collaboration between traditional authorities, investors, state agencies and developers. He further appealed for land to be treated as a strategic asset and a shared national heritage to support orderly and inclusive development.
