Kasada to Develop a Dual-Branded Hotel in The District of Angré, Abidjan, Côte D’ivoire

South Africa, Johannesburg. March 10, 2023

Kasada, the leading independent real estate private equity platform dedicated to hospitality in sub-Saharan Africa, announced that it will build a new dual-branded hotel in Abidjan within the largest retail-led mixed-use development currently being developed by HCCP. The complex, scheduled to open in 2024, will seek to be certified EDGE, the World Bank's green building certification program, and will boast over 150 hotel keys, a shopping center with over 60 stores, restaurants, a mini entertainment park, offices, a co-working space, and a clinic.

Olivier Granet, Kasada's Managing Partner and CEO, said: "We are proud of bringing to Angré's district its very first international branded hotels and developing a project that will not only benefit our clients but also the local community. Through this greenfield program in this unique location, we demonstrate once more the innovative dynamics of Kasada."

For this greenfield project in West Africa, Kasada has chosen to work with an innovative investment and development company that has a proven institutional track record. HCCP has previously successfully developed Cosmos Yopougon, a Grade A shopping center opened in 2018 in Abidjan's largest municipality, that has been the shopping center with the highest footfall in Côte d'Ivoire since 2019.

With a strong commitment to incorporating the highest ESG standards into their projects, Kasada will ensure that the construction of the greenfield hotels and their operations meet the strictest international environmental and social standards. This will include reduced water consumption as well as efficient energy and waste management.

David Damiba, Kasada's Managing Partner and CIO, added: "We look forward to the execution of this new expansion in Abidjan, a city where we have committed significant capital to date which testifies to our strong belief in the country's robust macroeconomic outlook. With this combo hotel, we are targeting the economy and extended stay segment to provide an attractive offer at the right price, in the heart of a high-density area."

Guest Service: Exceeding Expectations


When guests check into a hotel, they have expectations of quality customer service. They expect to have their needs met in a professional manner, they desire a certain level of comfort, and possibly even made to feel a little special. This is important because satisfied guests are more likely to return and to become true brand ambassadors. But what if instead of merely meeting expectations, hotels created a culture of service that was intent on exceeding expectations in every conceivable way? What if frontline staff were trained and empowered to provide guest services that demonstrate a willingness to always go the extra mile in order to please their guests? This culture is exactly what some hotels are creating in their operations. From helpful, smiling, welcoming staff to the quality of  a room's comfort and conveniences. From discovering a guest's special needs and enthusiastically fulfilling them, to making some amenities free of charge and offering random upgrades. The April issue of the Hotel Business Review will explore what some hotels are doing to enhance and enrich their guest services.
