Across the road in the future will also be the Elmina City Square, a commercial hub that will provide all the necessities to residents.
Analysis

However, when compared to other similar new developments, it can be seen that Elmina Green is a development that provides much value for money. Although it has a high price tag when seen from a surface level, its number of units is much lower when compared to the rest.
