In Africa’s real estate markets, what kills most projects isn’t funding. It’s a data gap.

Data gap about what to build.
Where to build.
What the demand looks like.
And whether the numbers even make sense.

At Fortren & Company, we were built to clear that gap.

Why Fortren

Across Sub-Saharan Africa, developers, family offices, funds, and landowners are making high-stakes real estate decisions with too little data, fragmented insights, and outdated feasibility assumptions.

The result?

  • Projects that stall.
  • Capital is tied up in the wrong location or product.
  • Growth strategies built on gut, not ground truth.

Fortren exists to change that.

What We Do

Fortren and Company is a plug-in research and strategy partner for serious real estate operators across Africa, those who can't afford to make mistakes.
