Hon. Alhassan Sayibu Suhuyini, Deputy Minister for Roads and Highways, has officially designated the Appolonia City project as the "gold standard"
for urban development in Ghana. Speaking at the commissioning of a massive new infrastructure phase in Kpone-Katamanso, the Minister praised the project's disciplined, private-sector-led planning as the blueprint for reshaping the nation’s housing landscape.
The event marked the delivery of 25 kilometers of high-quality asphalt roads, designed and executed in partnership with Core Construction Limited.
A Model for "Infrastructure-Led" Growth
Unlike many developments in Ghana that struggle with retrospective infrastructure, Appolonia City follows a "future-proof" model where services are delivered ahead of demand.
-
The 25km Phase: Features world-class asphalt roads, pedestrian walkways, dedicated cycling paths, and advanced stormwater drainage systems.
-
Master-Planned Scale: The community spans 2,325 acres, specifically designed by Rendeavour to counteract the chaotic urban sprawl of the Greater Accra Region.
-
Investment Power: To date, over US$250 million has been injected into the site, including a massive 75MVA primary substation and 50km of utility networks.
Strategic Partnerships for Quality
Perminas Marisi, Country Head for Rendeavour Ghana, emphasized that roads are the "arteries" of a city. By investing in these before residents move in, the project ensures long-term mobility and prevents the traffic congestion common in unplanned Accra neighborhoods
Key Technical Partnerships:
-
Core Construction Limited: Tasked with delivering roads that meet the highest technical standards for durability and safety.
-
Local Governance: The project is supported by the Kpone-Katamanso Municipal Assembly, represented at the ceremony by MP Hon. Joseph Tettey.
The Bottom Line
With $250 million already invested, Appolonia City is proving that when infrastructure is built before houses, it creates a sustainable, high-quality environment that serves as a template for the "Accra of the future."
