About Westpark
The WestPark is a 405-acre commercial, industrial and residential development in a strategic location in Takoradi, Western Region, Ghana. The mixed-use development addresses the challenges – including access to reliable power, water, transport and telecommunications – that often confront companies in Sub-Saharan Africa and provides modern and reliable infrastructure to its tenants. The WestPark offers custom-built warehouses, factories, offices, and retail space to its tenants in conjunction with business development services to ease their entry into one of the world’s fastest-growing markets.
The WestPark is breaking new ground for companies to produce goods locally and do business more easily with West Africa’s growing markets. The new enclave, featuring industrial, commercial and residential zones, eliminates many of the challenges – including access to reliable power, water and transport – that often confront companies in Sub-Saharan Africa, so tenants can focus on increasing production, creating jobs and growing their revenues.
Ghana offers strong transport links to the region, serving as a gateway to the West African market for many global companies. The country is projected to be among the world’s fastest growing economies in 2017 and 2018 and has long enjoyed a stable, multi-party democratic government, low crime rates, the rule of law, and an open trade policy.
