Appolonia – City of Light, the mixed-use urban development near Accra, has selected Owens Corning to provide roofing shingles for 200 homes in its new housing development, The Oxford.
Some 40,000 square meters of Owens Corning roofing shingles will be used by Appolonia and Eban Construction, the general contractor for The Oxford. The shingles were procured through Owens Corning’s agent in Ghana, Giga Rufs.
In October, Appolonia broke ground on The Oxford, which will feature 2-3 bedroom homes on 20 hectares of the 941-hectare Appolonia site. The Oxford’s show houses are to be completed in early 2016, followed by the launch of sales.
Appolonia is a joint venture between Rendeavour, Africa’s largest urban land developer, and the Chief and Elders of the Appolonia Community.
