- Construction tenders
- Phase 1 development completed and fully let
- Phase 2 development completed and fully let

When asked about the experience of setting up in Ghana, the company indicated that it was a transparent and efficient process that made the decision to invest in Ghana simpler.
“Ghana has a burgeoning economy and political stability. The process and execution of establishing a business in Ghana were clear and simple and we could identify immediate demand from customers for quality warehousing. We are expanding the project faster than budgeted, attracting new customers from both the local SME sector and multinationals. The project has created the essential warehouse infrastructure enabling companies to establish their regional base in Accra.”
From the first meeting on the project, the Ghana Investment Promotion Centre has been very supportive and central to the ease of doing business in Ghana.
Now that we are operational, the relationship remains close and GIPC actively utilizes the availability of warehouses that have been funded and developed by Agility in the Agility Warehouse Park in Tema as an additional way to attract new companies to set up operations in Ghana.
Ghana is a very attractive location for investment in West Africa driven by both the economic growth of Ghana and its ever-increasing role as a central hub within ECOWAS.
