Republic Bank and JoyNews Conclude 2026 Habitat Fair at Achimota Retail Centre

The 2026 edition of the JoyNews-Republic Bank Habitat Fair concluded its three-day run at the Achimota Retail Centre on August 23, 2026, marking another successful milestone in Ghana’s housing and construction sector. Operating under the theme 'Dream it. Explore it. Own it,' the event served as a comprehensive platform for prospective homeowners, property investors, and builders to engage directly with industry experts. Despite intermittent drizzly weather throughout the weekend, the fair maintained a steady turnout of patrons eager to navigate the complexities of the Ghanaian property market.

Throughout the three-day exhibition, attendees were presented with a wide array of solutions ranging from innovative building materials and smart home technologies to property development services. Leading brands in the construction industry showcased their latest products, offering significant discounts to visitors. The event also featured a unique partnership with companies such as Drive EV GH, reflecting a growing interest in integrating sustainable and modern lifestyle solutions into the traditional homeownership journey.

A central feature of the fair was the presence of Republic Bank, which provided specialized mortgage advisory services to help visitors bridge the financial gap between their aspirations and homeownership. By offering expert guidance on home financing and construction loans, the bank aimed to empower young families and first-time builders with the tools needed to make informed decisions. The hands-on approach allowed visitors to compare prices and products in real-time, simplifying what is often a daunting process for many Ghanaians.

As the mini-fair concludes, organizers have indicated that this event serves as a precursor to even larger exhibitions planned for the future. The sustained interest in the Habitat Fair highlights a critical demand for affordable and accessible housing solutions within the country. By fostering direct dialogue between consumers and service providers, the Republic Bank-JoyNews partnership continues to play a pivotal role in shaping the landscape of homeownership and residential development in Ghana.
