The 405-acre WestPark is breaking new ground for companies to produce goods locally and do business more easily with West Africa’s growing markets. The new enclave, featuring industrial, commercial and residential zones, eliminates many of the challenges – including access to reliable power, water and transport – that often confront companies in Sub-Saharan Africa, so tenants can focus on increasing production, creating jobs and growing their revenues.
Next-door to the oil & gas cities of Sekondi-Takoradi in Ghana’s thriving Western region, the WestPark benefits from ready access to an uncongested deep-water port, Africa’s largest thermal power park and a rail and road network undergoing major expansion. Located in Ghana’s third-largest and fastest-growing metropolitan area with competitive costs of production, the WestPark also enjoys proximity to abundant natural resources – including gold, bauxite, manganese, cocoa, citrus fruits, shea nuts and fisheries – for production . The WestPark is committed to building a platform that creates jobs and adds value to Ghana’s vast resources.
The WestPark is a development by BlackIvy. Anchored in Ghana and Tanzania, BlackIvy is a company that builds and grows logistics and infrastructure solutions for emerging economies and businesses that serve the needs of the growing middle class. BlackIvy is backed by an investor group of successful financiers and entrepreneurs, including John Mack, Tony Welters, Ray Dalio, Steve Case, Arthur Segel and Continental Grain.
