Afro-Arab Properties and Construction, a subsidiary of the Afro-Arab Group of Companies, has once again demonstrated its leadership in Ghana’s real estate sector by being named the Best Real Estate Company at the 2025 Global Trade and Business Awards. The prestigious event was held at the Marriott Hotel in Accra and brought together corporate leaders, entrepreneurs, and industry experts from across Africa and beyond.
The recognition places Afro-Arab Properties among the continent’s trailblazers, cementing its reputation as a trusted and innovative player in the housing sector. The company’s groundbreaking approach—offering flexible and customer-friendly payment plans—has made home ownership more accessible to thousands of Ghanaians. Its hallmark interest-free payment scheme, which allows clients to spread payments over a five-year period, continues to set the standard for affordability and transparency in the real estate industry.
A Trailblazer in Affordable Housing
Founded under the Afro-Arab Group of Companies, Afro-Arab Properties has carved out a distinct niche by bridging the gap between affordability and quality in Ghana’s housing sector. The company has become synonymous with reliability, offering both residential and commercial projects that respond to the needs of middle-income earners while helping to reduce Ghana’s long-standing housing deficit.
Over the years, many Ghanaians have struggled to secure affordable housing due to high costs, stringent payment conditions, and credibility issues with some developers. Afro-Arab Properties has broken this cycle by introducing innovative housing schemes that prioritize transparency, flexible payment structures, and genuine documentation. By doing so, it has become a trusted partner for young professionals, middle-class families, and even diaspora Ghanaians seeking secure property investments back home.
Industry observers note that Afro-Arab Properties’ forward-thinking model has transformed perceptions of the real estate market, offering hope to those who once believed home ownership was beyond their reach.
Ambassador Alhaji Salamu Amadu Reacts
Speaking after receiving the award, Ambassador Alhaji Salamu Amadu, the President and Founder of Afro-Arab Properties, expressed his gratitude to the organisers of the Global Trade and Business Awards. He dedicated the award to his team, clients, and every Ghanaian who has supported the Afro-Arab vision.
“I am truly honoured by this award. Recognition like this always tells me that the work we are doing is making an impact. It inspires me to do more, not just for our clients, but for Ghana as a whole. This award belongs to our hardworking staff and to the many families who have trusted Afro-Arab Properties to deliver their dream homes,” Ambassador Amadu said.
The Afro-Arab leader further emphasized the company’s long-term mission of providing affordable housing solutions and transforming lives through innovative real estate initiatives.
“We will continue to innovate, to make home ownership easy, and to maintain the trust that people have placed in us. At Afro-Arab Properties, we believe everyone deserves a decent home, and we will keep working tirelessly to make that possible,” he assured.
A Promise to Every Ghanaian
In addition to celebrating the award, Ambassador Amadu unveiled bold plans to make home ownership a reality for every Ghanaian through new housing schemes. These projects will feature 1, 2, 3, and 4-bedroom homes designed to cater to families of different sizes and income levels. Importantly, the homes will be offered with Afro-Arab’s signature flexible payment plans—interest-free and spread across five years—ensuring that middle-income earners and even low-income workers can achieve their dream of owning a home.
He stressed that this vision is at the heart of Afro-Arab Properties’ mission to break barriers in the housing sector. “Our commitment is to every Ghanaian who dreams of owning a home. Whether it is a one-bedroom starter unit or a four-bedroom family house, Afro-Arab Properties is making it possible through transparent, flexible, and interest-free payments. That is the legacy we are building,” he said.
The Afro-Arab Difference in Ghana’s Real Estate
Unlike many developers in Ghana who demand high upfront payments or attach high interest rates to installment packages, Afro-Arab Properties has set itself apart by providing interest-free installment schemes. This model has become a game-changer for professionals, entrepreneurs, and ordinary citizens who lack access to bank mortgages or cannot afford large down payments.
Clients can now secure plots or homes and pay gradually without fear of hidden charges. This transparent approach has positioned Afro-Arab Properties as one of the most trusted real estate developers in Ghana, offering peace of mind to thousands of clients who might otherwise shy away from the real estate market.
Industry analysts believe that this innovation is not just customer-friendly but also a sustainable way to address Ghana’s housing deficit, which is estimated at over 1.8 million units. By empowering more Ghanaians to transition from tenants to homeowners, Afro-Arab is directly contributing to national development while transforming lives.
Raising the Standard
The 2025 Global Trade and Business Awards, which celebrated excellence in innovation, growth, and service delivery, recognized Afro-Arab Properties as a company redefining Ghana’s real estate landscape. The award was hailed as a testament to the company’s growing influence and its ability to provide solutions to one of Ghana’s biggest challenges: affordable housing.
Observers noted that the company’s flexible approach has resonated especially with young professionals and middle-class Ghanaians, many of whom previously believed home ownership was unattainable. Afro-Arab’s strategies have reshaped public perception, proving that with the right vision and leadership, affordable housing can be both practical and sustainable.
Looking Ahead
Ambassador Amadu disclosed that Afro-Arab Properties has ambitious expansion plans. Beyond ongoing projects in Accra and other regional capitals, the company intends to develop modern residential communities across Ghana and extend its footprint into the wider West African region.
“As we look to the future, we are focused on building not just houses, but communities. Our vision is to provide modern, affordable, and sustainable living spaces where families can thrive. We are also committed to job creation and contributing to Ghana’s socio-economic growth through our projects,” he said.
These communities, according to him, will feature not only housing units but also essential amenities such as schools, recreational areas, and green spaces—further reinforcing Afro-Arab’s mission of building environments where families can flourish.
A Legacy of Trust and Social Impact
Afro-Arab Properties’ success cannot be separated from the visionary leadership of its founder, Ambassador Alhaji Salamu Amadu. Beyond his achievements in real estate, Ambassador Amadu is celebrated for his commitment to social responsibility and philanthropy. Through initiatives like the Yaa Salaam Opportunity Center, he has created platforms for youth empowerment, skills training, and entrepreneurship—helping the next generation of leaders build meaningful futures.
This dual commitment to business excellence and social good has positioned Afro-Arab Properties and the Afro-Arab Group of Companies as respected household names in Ghana. It has also strengthened their reputation as enterprises that prioritize people just as much as profit.
Conclusion
The recognition of Afro-Arab Properties as the Best Real Estate Company at the 2025 Global Trade and Business Awards is not just a celebration of business success; it is a win for the Ghanaian people. It highlights a company that has dared to think differently, challenge industry norms, and provide practical solutions to one of the nation’s most pressing needs: affordable housing.
With its bold promise to deliver 1, 2, 3, and 4-bedroom homes through interest-free flexible payment schemes, Afro-Arab Properties is redefining the path to home ownership. Under the visionary leadership of Ambassador Alhaji Salamu Amadu, the company is not only building houses but also creating communities, empowering families, and leaving behind a legacy of trust and innovation.
For many Ghanaians, Afro-Arab Properties represents more than a real estate developer—it symbolizes the hope of moving from tenant to homeowner, from uncertainty to stability, and from dream to reality.
