[Ghana] Williamsville Sears set to acquire Royal Systems
Williamsville Sears Management Inc. has entered into the definitive agreement of the previously announced acquisition of Royal Systems & Services Limited in Ghana.
On August 1 2017, Royal Systems signed a 23-year “BOOT”- Build, Own, Operate, and Transfer- agreement with Takoradi Technical University (TTU), located in Takoradi, the Western Region of Ghana, to construct a student hostel.
The Takoradi Technical University Hostel is a ~3000-bed student hostel project designed to support the university house s section of its student population to be admitted to a new satellite campus under construction.
The facility is designed to be an ultra-modern state of the art structure using advanced building technology and will be located on an 8.0-acre land within the school campus.
Construction works began in January 2017 and the first phase, a 1000-bed block is expected to be complete in December 2018 before the beginning of the first academic year on the new campus. The project after completion will help immensely to plug the perennial accommodation deficit facing the school, also provides the unique opportunity for Royal Systems to expand its existing operations into the student hostel real estate subsector, a very profitable market in Ghana.
