OpenLife Nigeria reports that the 18th Edition of the Ghana Property Awards illuminated the Accra International Conference Centre on 29th November 2025, gathering developers, policymakers, financiers and key industry players for an elegant night honouring outstanding achievements in Ghana’s real estate sector.

The event once again cemented its reputation as the nation’s most credible and respected platform for recognising excellence across the property and construction value chain.

Director of the Ghana Property Awards, Madam Irene Agyenkwa, opened the ceremony with a compelling call for innovation and resilience in the industry.

She commended developers and service providers for their contributions to Ghana’s changing real estate landscape despite global economic constraints.

Madam Agyenkwa also highlighted increasing demand for both residential and commercial spaces, the expanding role of technology and the critical importance of land banking in promoting sustainable national development.

Chairman of the event and CEO of PS Global Ltd, Mr Patrick Ebo Bonful, delivered an insightful address centred on efficient land banking.

He applauded the Lands Commission for its progress in digitising land records and improving transparency, while acknowledging persistent challenges such as litigation, tenure insecurity and land use conflicts.

Mr Bonful emphasised that effective land banking remains essential for economic growth, environmental sustainability and the development of essential social infrastructure including schools, hospitals and affordable housing schemes.

Representing the Minister for Works and Housing and Water Resources was the Public Relations Officer of the Rent Control Department, Mr Emmanuel Hovey Kporsu, who spoke on behalf of the Minister. In his address, he reaffirmed government’s commitment to making land banking a national priority.

He described land as the backbone of Ghana’s housing agenda and broader infrastructure ambitions, urging all stakeholders to treat land as a strategic resource and shared national heritage.

He echoed the call for stronger collaboration among government, traditional authorities, investors and developers to ensure more orderly and inclusive development.

A major highlight of the night was the celebration of Ghana’s most impactful and innovative real estate institutions. SHELBBiE Homes won two awards: Best Promising Property Company of the Year 2025 and Upcoming Property Brand of the Year 2025, while Ambassador Alhaji Salamu Amadu, CEO of Afro Araba Properties, received the award for Young Property Entrepreneur of the Year 2025.
