The outgoing Minister of Works and Housing, Francis Asenso-Boakye, named the project after Mr Hackman Owusu-Agyemang during a tour of the newly constructed 16 units of four-bedroom houses at Ringway Estate.
Mr Asenso-Boakye expressed his admiration for the significant projects undertaken by Mr Owusu-Agyemang during his tenure.
The housing project, to be known as the "Hackman Owusu-Agyemang Court," will offer accommodation to senior public officials, including ministers of state, superior court judges and senior civil servants.
Developed by the State Housing Company (SHC) Limited, the project showcases 16 modern housing units, a substantial increase from the previous three houses occupying the same piece of land, which spans 1.5 acres.

"It is an honour to pay tribute to Mr Owusu-Agyemang by naming this project after him.
