This service, according to the Managing Director of the group, Mr Jim Forster, is in line with the national drive to drastically reduce the huge deficit in the country’s housing sector, which has been put unofficially at more than 1.5 million units.
“As a group, our greatest concern is the acute accommodation challenges facing the Ghanaian worker and we are working closely with our partners in the capital market to help ease the housing problems that confront many people daily,” Mr Forster said in an interview.
He said, “In addition to helping you to complete your house, the furniture unit of the Safeway Group also gives you the opportunity to have modern family-friendly kitchens and top-class furniture in your home. After all, everybody deserves to live in comfort and dignity,” he stressed.
The company also runs the home ownership scheme, under which prospective customers are required to deposit GHc 5, 000 to have houses built for them on their own lands or plots offered by Safeway Estates.
Shortly after the introduction of these schemes, the Managing Director said many Ghanaian workers have benefited from “our unique offers”.
“Presently, we have ongoing projects at East Legon, Nmai Djor, Dahwenya, after the Central University College campus, Prampram, Nsawam, Gomoa near Kasoa, Afienya, Apolonia, Ho, Sunyani, Aburi, near Peduase Lodge and other locations,” he pointed out.
He also mentioned the Agona Swedru Teachers’ Housing Scheme and the Civil Servants & Local Government Workers Association Project as some of the projects that Safeway Estates is currently undertaking for identifiable groups.
He called on individuals and organisations to take advantage of the group’s flexible terms to patronise its estate houses, kitchen fittings, household furniture and also invest in its tilapia farming projects at Abui in the South Dayi District of the Volta Region.
The group, he said, had also established the Safeway College to help meet the country’s mounting educational needs.
“Our high sense of professionalism is our guarantee for the quality of products and services that we offer,” the Managing Director assured.
