Over 27 years of experience
From Humble Beginnings to Industry Leaders
Our Origins and Evolution
Al-Sam Properties was founded in 1998 with a clear and ambitious goal: to rise above the competition and become the gold standard in the Ethiopian real estate sector. Our journey began with a dedication to delivering quality infrastructure and real estate projects that were both innovative and enduring. We have steadily grown our portfolio, learning and adapting to the evolving needs of our clients and the city of Addis Ababa.
Our Vision and Purpose
In 2015, we recognized the pressing need to address Addis Ababa's housing scarcity. With this purpose at the core of our strategy, we launched a series of ambitious projects. Within six years, we successfully delivered these developments, not only creating beautiful homes but also generating over 5,000 employment opportunities. This initiative reflects our deep commitment to contributing positively to the community and economy we serve.
The Pillars of Our Success
At Al-Sam Properties, our values are the bedrock of our operations. We operate with unwavering integrity, ensuring transparency and trust in all our dealings. Our commitment to quality is non-negotiable, which is why we import 90% of our finishing materials from abroad. This meticulous attention to detail ensures that every Al-Sam property is synonymous with luxury and durability. Finally, our projects are designed to foster a sense of community, creating spaces where residents feel a true sense of belonging.
Creating Timeless Landmarks
The legacy of our work is evident in the iconic landmarks we have created. The Al-Sam Chelelek Building and Al-Sam Apartment #1, along with our new development, Al-Sam Apartment #2, are now collectively known as the Al-Sam Village. This name is a testament to the long-lasting impression we have made on the real estate market. Our properties are not just addresses; they are celebrated landmarks that reflect our commitment to excellence.
