Accra, Ghana – A new wave of innovation is taking shape just off the coast of Ghana. Apple Island Accra, a bold and imaginative concept for Africa’s first floating smart city, aims to redefine the boundaries of sustainable development, coastal urbanism, and luxury living on the continent.
Envisioned as a 12–24 km² man-made island, located approximately 2 km offshore from Labadi Beach, this apple-shaped floating city will offer a fusion of architectural excellence, green technology, and economic opportunity—positioning Ghana as a leader in next-generation urban innovation.
🍏 A Floating Landmark for the Future
Inspired by iconic projects like Palm Jumeirah (Dubai) and Banana Island (Lagos), Apple Island Accra will be designed to serve as a futuristic, self-sustaining community with a unique apple shape symbolizing prosperity, unity, and innovation. The proposed layout features:
-
Luxury residences, villas, and oceanfront condos
-
A state-of-the-art marina and commercial district
-
Sustainable solar, tidal, and wind energy systems
-
Eco-friendly transportation and AI-based infrastructure
-
Public spaces, a central park, and cultural hubs
-
Tourism zones with hotels, resorts, and waterfront entertainment
More than a residential development, Apple Island Accra is envisioned as a symbol of African ambition—a space where technology, design, and environmental consciousness converge.
🌍 Early-Stage Development
Currently in the concept phase, the Apple Island project is being developed by a team of African and international experts in real estate, marine engineering, and urban design. While the initiative has yet to be formally presented to the Government of Ghana, the development team is actively preparing detailed feasibility studies, environmental impact assessments, and partnership frameworks.
“We are approaching this project with humility and respect,” says a founding team member. “Apple Island Accra is not just about building land—it’s about building legacy. We want to work closely with the government, coastal communities, and Ghanaians at home and abroad to bring this vision to life.”
💡 An Ecosystem of Innovation
The proposed island city aims to support:
-
Job creation in construction, tourism, tech, and green energy
-
Diaspora investment through secure, digitized real estate ownership
-
A thriving Special Economic Zone (SEZ) to attract global businesses
-
Smart city technologies powered by AI, blockchain, and IoT
-
Educational centers and research institutions focused on climate tech
🔄 A Call for Collaboration
As the project prepares for its next phase, the Apple Island team invites:
-
Government stakeholders to explore its potential as a national flagship project
-
Coastal and environmental experts to guide sustainable development
-
Diaspora and global investors to become early supporters and co-creators

Local innovators and creatives to envision what African living can become
📢 Looking Ahead
