President John Mahama says the first 700 housing units at the Saglemi Affordable Housing Project are expected to be completed and commissioned by March 2027.

Mahama targets 700 Saglemi housing units for completion by March 2027

President John Mahama has announced that the Saglemi Affordable Housing Project will see the completion of 700 housing units by March 2027, with plans to deliver 1,500 units by the end of 2027 as well. The 5,000-unit residential estate, which aims to provide a suitable living environment for families and workers in nearby industrial areas, was first initiated by the late President John Evans Atta Mills.

However, subsequent legal issues caused the project to stall before private sector participation was allowed to resume its development. During a visit to the site, Mahama urged prospective homeowners to prepare for registration once the portal opens, stating the houses would also be available to individuals seeking accommodation for their families.

The project, set to be completed in phases, includes infrastructure such as water and solar power facilities, with financing options from financial institutions like the National Homeownership Fund to make homeownership more accessible for Ghanaian workers and prospective buyers.
