Our story
What is your vision and mission at Spotlight?
Our vision was to seize the opportunity of exploring real estate and in doing so, contribute to our country, Ghana and make a positive impact among our people.
I believe that when opportunities arise, it is up to the individual exposed to them to assess how beneficial they are. In the case of Spotlight Homes, we started last year, and the vision is to take what we have done thus far and keep progressing. This is our first project, and the goal is to expand, create employment and help those who are unable to build their own homes to create their dream homes.
What is the competitive advantage of spotlight?
Spotlight Homes has the ultimate personal touch. We see and understand the vision our buyers have in terms of creating their dream home and we build as though it is yours. We share the same vision with you and make that our goal.
Our top priority is building with attention to detail and ensuring that what we present to individuals meets their expectations.
Can you tell us what kind of buildings Spotlight homes is into?
We build to fulfil our goal of creating bespoke, luxury homes. At present, we are building town homes in a gated community with seven detached properties. Some are three-bedroom, some four-bedroom.
We understand that affordable housing is subjective and varies with each individual, which is why we get potential buyers involved and work with them throughout the process. We don’t just want to build a property; we want you to be part of the journey.
We are currently working with a gentleman from the U.S., and it has been amazing taking him through the personal Spotlight Homes experience. We carried out a live video call with him over the weekend where we walked through the property. During this, he was able to express his preferences and even provide suggestions of the little things he would like to be changed or added.
I believe Spotlight Homes has that uniqueness in offering potential purchasers the opportunity to add their own touch to their dream homes.
Will it focus more on off-plan properties, or will you offer standard two- and three-bedroom homes, or perhaps some cash options?
Of course, we aim to blend both approaches. Currently, we have four properties that are already roofed and three that are under construction and already standing. In terms of off-plan, we have moved beyond that stage for this project. However, it is not too late to accommodate individual plans when clients come forward. We are open to having those conversations.
For our next project, we hope to start directly with off-plan properties.
What’s your next plan?
With where we are right now, we are only aiming for better. This is our first project and although we are testing the waters, it has been extremely successful so far. The amazing thing is that we are working with dedicated workmen, and it is a privilege to work with people who share your vision and dream.
For the next project, all I can say is watch this space. It is going to be bigger, and we will accommodate to a wider target audience. Our next project will include apartments and two- and three-bedroom units. We are even considering holiday homes, and we tailor our designs to accommodate the unique requirements of every age group.
When people are purchasing, they are often thinking 15 or 20 years ahead. We need to be mindful of this, particularly for buyers in their 40s or 50s, who will need to consider mobility in 20 to 30 years. For the next project, we will be implementing ideas such as internal lifts, bungalows, or single-floor homes.
We want to embrace the entire target market and ensure that we have something for everyone.
Where are the areas you have targeted and want to expand your project?
Currently, we are situated under 20 minutes from Kotoka International Airport. I have tested it myself. The proximity is excellent.
The estate is located off Spintex Road, on Manet Road, heading toward Lekma. It is a prime area. Recently, the roads have been redone, so even from a popular place like Palace Mall, it takes only 5–7 minutes to reach the estate, and the roads are fully tarred. Proximity and location make it a prime development.
What do you think of real estate in general?
This era has seen a significant rise in real estate developers, and the good thing is that the industry is gradually being monitored and regulated. We joined many other real estate developers this year, and it is encouraging to see the progress being made in monitoring the sector. There is hope that legislation will be implemented to ensure proper regulation. There are a few really outstanding developers out there, and it is great to be part of this community.
What is your vision for the next five years? What achievements do you aim to accomplish with your houses?
Our goal is for people to have confidence in Spotlight Homes, and to let the quality of our work speak for itself. We are not looking to rush or build everywhere; instead, we are taking things one step at a time so that our purchasers enjoy their homes long term.
In the next few years, we aim to be in a highly competitive position among real estate developers. For Spotlight Homes, the vision is to offer a range of properties, potentially even to entire communities. These communities would have access to amenities such as cafes, clinics, and other facilities within the neighbourhood that would enhance the living experience.
The vision is clear, to grow and progress, and we are steadily working toward it. As the saying goes, “A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step,” and that is where we are right now. Thankfully, we have a strong network and great mentors supporting us, which gives us confidence in our journey forward.
Is there anything else you would like to address or share?
With our team of dedicated workers, we share a vision to build properties that are not just houses but homes. That’s our focus. As we said earlier, we pay attention to detail in our building.
We are just about to complete a show house in time for Christmas. We’ll share some videos and photos and you can view them for yourselves. I’m sure you’ll enjoy what you see. The location is prime, very sought-after. It’s close to many amenities: a hospital, the airport, local areas, and restaurants, garages, and more.
When buying a property, you might be considering a three-bedroom with the idea that four-bedroom might be too expensive. While you may initially prefer a three-bedroom home, exploring your options could reveal that a four-bedroom better suits your evolving needs—whether for its style, functionality, or future growth potential. So if that ends up being you, why not put in extra and secure the four-bedroom now, because you will grow into it.
When people talk about affordability and luxury it is about the furnish and the finish. We have created the strong foundation, and you as the buyer also have the opportunity to customise it by furnishing it to your liking.
So, do not wait, feel free to contact Spotlight Homes, and we can talk about it and discuss how to turn your dreams into a real, physical space.
Thank you.
