Gift Real Estate, one of Ethiopia’s veteran property developers, officially launched its fourth-round home sales expo today, March 27, 2026 .
Organized to coincide with the upcoming Easter holiday, the company has announced a significant 15% discount on various residential apartments and commercial units. This promotional event is scheduled to run for a full month, concluding on April 27, 2026, providing a window for potential homeowners to explore various investment opportunities within the capital.
A key highlight of this expo is the introduction of flexible financing options designed to increase accessibility for middle-income buyers. According to Dr. Solomon Ali, the company’s Director of Communications and Customer Liaison, the firm has established a special arrangement allowing customers to secure a property with a down payment of just 2%. By lowering the initial financial barrier, the developer aims to stimulate sales across its diverse portfolio, which currently includes 1,200 units specifically earmarked for this promotional period.
The expansion strategy of Gift Real Estate remains ambitious, with over 16,000 residential and commercial units being promoted across multiple high-demand districts. The flagship “Gift Metropolitan” project at LaGare is currently under construction, featuring 4,000 units. Additionally, the company is introducing thousands of other units in strategic neighborhoods such as 6 Kilo, Bole Medhanialem, Figa, 22 Mazoria, Teklehaimanot, and CMC. These developments are designed as integrated villages, incorporating essential infrastructure including schools, medical facilities, shopping malls, and ample parking spaces to ensure a self-sufficient living environment.
With a proven track record in the Ethiopian real estate sector, Gift Real Estate has already completed and delivered three major residential villages at CMC and Feres Bet, spanning over 165,000 square meters. The current LaGare project and the wider expansion into different sub-cities represent the next phase of the company’s growth. By combining holiday-themed discounts with integrated community design, the developer continues to position itself as a major contributor to the urban housing supply in Addis Ababa.
