Ghana Real Estate: Inside Signum Development’s Growth and Vision
In this in-depth interview, Comfort Owusu, Digital Marketing Manager at Signum Development, shares the company’s journey, philosophy, and vision for the future of real estate in Ghana, with a strong focus on quality housing, affordable pricing, and off-plan property development.
Signum Development is a proudly Ghanaian real estate developer based in Accra, founded on the belief that quality housing in Ghana should not be a luxury reserved for the wealthy. From construction materials and finishes to location selection and community design, the company has consistently positioned itself as a trusted property developer in Accra, offering real value for money across multiple market segments.
Originally focused on townhouse developments in Tse Addo, Signum Development quickly expanded its footprint across prime and emerging neighbourhoods in Accra, including Oyarifa, Dansoman, Labone and Nungua. Today, the company delivers a diverse portfolio of townhouses and apartments in Accra, combining competitive pricing, strong design standards, and flexible payment plans that appeal to both local buyers and diaspora investors.
A core pillar of Signum’s success is its off-plan business model in Ghana, which allows buyers to access affordable apartments and townhouses at lower entry prices, while also offering layout flexibility and customisation options. This model has made Signum Development one of the most accessible property developers offering instalment payments in Ghana, with entry points starting as low as 5 percent and payments spread across the construction period.
The interview highlights several flagship projects, including Romana Gardens in Oyarifa, Signum’s first green and sustainable housing development in Ghana, featuring solar provisions, rainwater harvesting, gardens and detached bungalows. The company also details the expansion into apartment developments, such as N’Kwarley Apartments in Tse Addo, Odehe Court in Labone, and KwAmi Court in Dansoman, all designed to meet growing demand for urban apartment living in Accra.
