Kofi Akordor: An Urban Oasis in the Heart of the City; Ghana’s first mixed use facility
Accra, the nation's capital, is soon to open its doors to Ghana's first truly mixed estate enclave that will serve both the residential and commercial needs of clients. This is the Switchback Park Project located between the Flagstaff House and the 37 Military Hospital.

It is a modern estate complex which also promises to change the skyline of the national capital and give it a physical ambience that will make it a must destination for those seeking business and pleasure in the sub-region.
The Switchback Park Project is the dream and brainchild of Switchback Developers Limited, a joint venture by the Social Security and National Insurance Trust (SSNIT), Trasacco Estates Development Company Limited (TEDEC) and Lifeforms Limited.
Concept and Master Plan
The project is set on a 16.77 acre plot of land which on completion, will be home to residential apartments and penthouses of various sizes that will occupy high-rise buildings.
There will be two office blocks, one of which is a twin-tower office complex occupying 35,000 square metres of office space, a 200-room Five-Star Intercontinental Hotel with a complementary 100-room Three-Star Holiday Inn, retail shops and other facilities, including multi-storey car parks.
This is a development concept based on the realisation that the time has come for Accra, and for that matter Ghana, to take its proper place as the preferred destination in Africa. The country has a lot to offer in terms of business and tourism that must be exploited to the fullest advantage.
The peaceful nature of the people, political stability, natural resources and scenic beauty that need to be complemented by international brand hotels, first-class office space and of course, first-class residential accommodation to suit the taste and requirements of both local and international investors who want to take advantage of these resources.
Project objectives
The Switchback Park is a mixed use facility that provides an environment of varied services where one can live, work, shop and enjoy life without commuting. Its uniqueness lies in its strategic location – proximity to the international airport, centrally located between the airport and the central business district (CBD), proximity to the ministries, diplomatic missions, the Accra Mall, the Military Hospital, Parliament House and the seat of Government.
