Large Scale housing projects are at the very centre of our new strategy, it is our anchor product. This decision was arrived after careful consideration of the affordable housing landscape. We believe large-scale housing development are a positive and mass impact making avenue and we are committed to promoting them and achieving them through Public-Private Partnerships (PPPs).
Given our experience, we are aware of challenges at the Pre-development stage and the execution stage, which is why we established a dedicated Project Implementation Team. This product seeks to address, in a more deliberate and strategic manner, the affordable housing supply constraint evident across the markets that Shelter Afrique operates. The magnitude of the housing deficit across the continent may not be closed using small ticket projects.
Delivering at large scale brings brings forth economies of scale that eventually translate to affordability.
