Its portfolio includes Imperial Court, Bentley Grove Homes, Mankata, Ayana Vistas, Premier Court, and Premier Place .

The company‘s achievements are substantial. It has won multiple international and local awards . It has a UK office in London, providing a presence for diaspora clients . It has diversified into commercial construction (Agenda 111 hospitals, NPA Head Office) and sports tourism (the 1,000-acre Abuakwa Green golf resort project) .

For the Ghanaian homebuyer seeking a luxury home from a trusted developer, Imperial Homes offers a track record of excellence. For the investor, the company‘s diversification into commercial and hospitality projects offers new opportunities. For the Ghanaian economy, Imperial Homes is a significant contributor to the built environment and community development.

Imperial Homes is not trying to be the largest real estate developer in Ghana. It is trying to be the most respected. With a 17-year track record and a vision that extends beyond residential development, it is well on its way.
