A new housing estate has been launched making it country’s newest estate as the housing needs of Gambians continue to rise.
Barakah Estate is the product of a longstanding partnership between Global Properties and Swami India International, which officials say is a parternship of ‘husband and wife’.
The estate was launched last Thursday at a ceremony held at Barakah estate in Bakoteh attended by scores of Gambians from all walks of life.
And speaking at the event, Saul Frazer the chief executive officer of Global Properties said: “Since Global Properties started operations twelve years ago, our motto has been, ‘Deliver Innovative Property Solutions’ and having a vision of being the preferred choice for real estate solutions.
“With that mindset, we sought housing solutions that catered for all by offering a diversified portfolio. Along the way, we realised that partnership is the key in strengthening our objectives and accomplishing out goals.
“Together with out partners, Swami India International, we have not only achieved our goals in the last decade but superseded it.
“Looking back, we have built two of the most successful and popular estates in the country – Paradise Estate in Old Yundum, [and] Paradise View in Salagi.
“The demand for these types of housing estates continue to increase today as more and more people seek for quality and affordable accomodation. Our desire to satisfy these demands has now led us to our current project right here in Bakoteh. The more success gained in our previous projects, the more innovation we continue to generate.
“At Barakah, we have centralised access to housing with a great location right here in Bakoteh. In less than five minutes – just five minutes drive – Senegambia, Serrekunda and Kairaba Avenue are just around the corner. Convenience is all around.”
