Housing Startups in Africa

West Africa's housing market is booming, driven by rapid urbanization and a growing middle class. Local leaders see huge potential but acknowledge challenges: limited access to finance, complex land tenure systems, and infrastructure gaps. Mubawab, Flow, and IsiDuli are making strides, but the market remains fragmented with many smaller players. Innovation is key, especially in proptech and alternative financing models.
