In a significant milestone for urban development in Ghana, HDG Homes, has formally commenced construction of Airport City Kumasi, a visionary 50-acre mixed-use metropolis poised to transform the skyline, economy, and identity of the Ashanti regional capital.
Strategically situated adjacent to Prempeh I International Airport, Ghana’s second-busiest airport with over 453,000 annual passengers, this pioneering development heralds Kumasi’s emergence as a contemporary economic hub, seamlessly integrating luxury living, business, hospitality, and leisure into a dynamic, future-oriented destination.
HDG Homes envisions Airport City Kumasi as a beacon of modern, eco-friendly urban living in West Africa, delivering projects that leave a legacy of innovation, sustainability, and elevated quality of life.
With global offices in Accra, the UK, and the US, HDG Homes is uniquely positioned to deliver world-class results together with its partners.
Flagship projects shaping the city
The Kensington Heights – A 15‑storey landmark featuring luxury one- to three‑bedroom apartments, sky suites, and penthouses with breathtaking panoramic views of the airport and city skyline. Residents will enjoy rooftop gardens, swimming pools, gyms, business lounges, children’s playgrounds, cafés, and more.
The Greenwich – A prestigious residential enclave offering contemporary homes amidst lush landscapes, seamlessly blending elegance with functionality.
Luxury Hotels – The project will host world-class brands, including Best Western Premier and The Sheraton, ensuring top-tier hospitality options for global travellers and residents.
The Cinnamon – Curated grade A offices with sky gardens, restaurants and other mixed-use features.
Mixed-Use Living – A fusion of premium retail centres, curated restaurants, a shopping mall, a medical centre, a multi-purpose event centre, parks, and open spaces promise a self-contained, dynamic community.
Socio-economic impact on Kumasi and Ghana
The build-out has provided over three hundred (300) construction and allied-sector jobs with hands-on student internship offerings for several students from the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST) and the Kumasi Technical University (KTU).
With a diverse range of office towers, hotels, and entertainment venues, the city will catalyse inward investment and enhance Kumasi’s commercial appeal. The world-class housing options will also elevate local living standards and support the city’s burgeoning middle and upper-income segments and accommodate Ghanaians in the diaspora.
The proximity to the region’s cultural landmarks will establish an international-standard entertainment and draw significant revenue for the tourism sector. The mixed-use model of Airport City Kumasi exemplifies sustainable urban planning, which will reduce commuting times, mitigate pollution, and facilitate live-work-play synergies.
Hiahene of Asanteman, Nana Prof. Oheneba Boachie-Adjei Woahene II, who read the remarks of the Asantehene Otumfuo Osei Tutu II said, “As a representative of His Royal Majesty Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, I bring not only royal blessings but a deep sense of pride for what this moment signifies. Kumasi has long been a seat of culture, tradition, and leadership.”
He added that “today, we witness a new chapter, one that honours our past while boldly stepping into the future. Airport City Kumasi is not just a real estate development; it is a national asset and a symbol of our readiness to welcome the world. The Asante Kingdom stands firmly behind this initiative, and we are confident that it will elevate the socioeconomic fortunes of our people, offer opportunities for youth, and enhance Kumasi’s stature as a centre of excellence, culture, and commerce in Ghana and beyond.”
For his part, Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of HDG Homes, Stephen Owusu, said that HDG Homes’ mission has always been to deliver lifestyle, legacy, and sustainable growth adding that “Airport City Kumasi will be a blueprint for what a modern African city can look like, smart, walkable, green, and globally connected.”
He called on Asanteman to work hand-in-hand with HDG Homes to ensure the project creates jobs, inspires pride, and attracts the world to our doorstep. “From The Kensington Heights to The Greenwich, every block we lay will reflect excellence, innovation, and deep respect for the culture and potential of this city,” he added.
Chairman of global construction giant, Miller Holding, Mert Mildon, said that it was a great honour for his company to be part of this groundbreaking project in Kumasi and their first in Ghana.
“Our company has built transformative infrastructure across Europe, the Middle East, and the Americas, but today is special. Airport City Kumasi represents a bridge between continents, between heritage and modernity, between ambition and delivery. We are here not just to build, but to partner, to share knowledge, and to co-create a vibrant urban future with HDG Homes and the people of Ghana,” he said.
As construction continues, stakeholders can anticipate a series of phased launches spanning hotels, apartments, retail areas, and essential amenities over the coming years.
