Until recently, the Alto (Villagio Vistas), located at the Tetteh Quarshie Roundabout had been Ghana’s tallest building. Standing about 92metre high, the porch structure was erected some one and a half decades ago.
On Wednesday, 19th November, 2024, the president, H. E. Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo commissioned The Bank Square directly opposite the Greater Accra Regional Hospital at Ridge in the capital city of Accra as the Central Bank’s new headquarters.
