HDG Homes Limited and Ecobank Ghana PLC recently signed a partnership agreement to, among others, offer mortgage financing support to clients who are desirous of acquiring landed properties developed by HDG Homes or its subsidiaries. HDG Homes is the anchor developer for Airport City Kumasi – a US$300million development project, situated on a 55-acre prime location in Kumasi.
The Airport City Kumasi project represents a pioneering endeavour on the African continent, offering customers a diverse range of residential options including suites, apartments, penthouses and townhouses, catering to the preferences and lifestyles of clients.
The estate will also house a comprehensive array of amenities and facilities: such as malls to create a vibrant shopping experience; a dedicated financial district; a multi-storey car park for residents and visitors; a state-of-the-art events centre; well-equipped office spaces; premium hotels and serene parks; a school; and a hospital to provide healthcare services.
With the international airport opening in Kumasi, and with direct flights to and from various international airports, Airport City Kumasi will be an obvious destination of choice in Ghana. With its location in the middle belt of Ghana, Airport City Kumasi will be a hub for transnational and intra-country travels.
Speaking at the signing ceremony, Mr. Stephen Owusu – Founder and CEO of HDG Homes Limited said: “We are thrilled to announce our partnership with Ecobank on the Kensington Heights, our first development in Airport City Kumasi. The Kensington Heights is a 2-tower apartment block with rooftop pool and lounge overlooking the Kumasi international airport”.
He further emphasised that: “The remarkable growth and development of Airport City-Kumasi marks an exciting chapter in the region’s urban landscape. As the ecosystem of Airport City continues to flourish, we are committed to fostering sustainable and inclusive progress.

Our multi-family roots have cultivated a ‘focus on the resident’ approach to all we do. On every project, we start with who will occupy the space and how they will utilise it. We then layer in the insights of our operations teams to ensure we have well-conceived common areas and leasable areas, with an eye toward a timeless design, durable finishes and efficient building systems.
We are passionate about details, design and operational efficiency, and every project starts with a vision that aligns a thoughtful site plan with the ultimate needs of people destined for the final product.
This commitment to a deep understanding of each project allows a focus on operating efficiencies balanced with project feasibility. We are constantly refining and innovating to deliver timeless real estate that serves the evolving needs of the families, guests, colleagues and patrons of our projects. We view each project as part of our legacy within the fabric of the communities where we work and live.
