Business activity within the last decade has
shown us that African real estate service
businesses are rather di icult to build. For a

partnering with existing players, making an
acquisition or even a franchise agreement. In
this note, we take a look at the history of global
and pan-African real estate businesses that
have set sail for domination in Africa and
discuss how successful their strategies have
been.
