Some of the Best Real Estate Companies and Developers In Ethiopia

Today, the Ethiopian Real Estate market is hotter than ever, especially after the new reforms being introduced in every sector of Ethiopian society.

These reforms have reignited the real estate market in Ethiopia due to the ever growing demand for homes from both the local population and the Ethiopian diasporas.

Be that as it may, when it comes to investing one's life savings for a home, several factors come to the forefront.

For example, it is not a new phenomenon that Ethiopian real estate commpanies and developers have bad reputations for not delivering on time and for cost manipulation.

While some factors could not be controlled by the developers, it still remains that some untrustworthy souls looking only to enrich themselves at the hands of innocent home buyers have run rampant in the sector.

In order to help people choose the right Ethiopian real estate developer, we have created a list we believe to be of some of the best in the industry.


1. Ayat Real Estate Apartments, Houses, Commercial Properties

Ayat Real Estate is a share holder's company that was created in 1997 and is one of the pioneering Ethiopian companies in this sector.

They have managed to complete over 5,000 residential units, making them one of the most experienced in this sector.

Ayat Real Estate is indeed the largest construction company focused only on residential homes in Ethiopia.

They had a bumpy beginning when they were first building and selling the Ayat Real Estate villa houses in the Ayat area, with rumors of low quality building materials being spread.

Today, the Ayat villas which once sold for about 375,000 ETB are now being sold in excess of 20,000,000 ETB.

Furthermore, in order to pass on the savings to its clients, Ayat Real Estate has bought and built factories for the purpose of producing the building materials they need, such as terrazzo tiles, concrete hollow blocks, marbles, prefabricated slabs, septic tanks, metal doors/windows, wooden doors/cabinets, and more.

At the moment, one of their largest projects is in the Ayat area of Addis Ababa with numerous apartment buildings being built and sold.

Their prices are also considered relatively fair.
