From Townhouses to Apartments: How JL Holdings is Transforming Ghana’s Real Estate Landscape with Bold Expansion and Innovative Housing Solutions

In this interview, Dr James Orleans-Lindsay CEO of JL properties speaks about how JL Holdings expanded its real estate portfolio to include designing of apartments in Ghana.

“So what happened was that we had a client. We tendered for a job and wanted to build apartments because they had seen the work we had done and believed that we could do apartments. We are really specialists in townhouses, and they believed in what we could do. The price was really, really not something that many developers would do, but this was a very valued client, so we said we would do it. Initially, they said we should do 56 two-bedroom apartments. They saw what we were doing and said to add another 50. So we gathered the expertise while doing that and decided to venture into it to balance our portfolio, so it would not only be townhouses we were doing but apartments as well. Now, we have come to love apartments, and we think we will run with the knowledge we have acquired” says Dr James.
