Victor Ameh, renowned ace real estate expert, is making waves in the construction and furniture production industry with his companies Legendary Foreshore and Urban Woodberry.
With a background in accounting and banking, Ameh switched gears to pursue his passion for architecture and launched Legendary Foreshore in 2016. The company initially provided building renovation services but quickly evolved into a full-scale construction and real estate firm by 2018, handling diverse projects of various sizes.
One of the notable milestones achieved by Legendary Foreshore is the recent spearheading of the groundbreaking project for the Ghana Minerals Commission. Ameh and his team established the first-of-its-kind Mining Aerial Vehicle Tracking and Monitoring Control Room in West Africa. The innovative technology offers advanced surveillance capabilities for the mining industry.
Reflecting on his journey, Ameh revealed, “I had my fair share of failure early on when my first business crashed, leaving me in debt and completely broken. However, through God’s grace and resilience, I managed to overcome those setbacks and emerge even stronger. My story is simply put “from rumbles to reigning, my story is a testament to the power of determination.”
Combining his unique skill set as an accountant-turned-architect, he expertly developed Legendary Foreshore’s portfolio, emphasizing complex 3D architectural drawings using industry software for each project. Over the years, the company has assembled a proficient team of professionals dedicated to delivering exceptional results.
Parallel to his passion for construction and real estate, Ameh founded Urban Woodberry, a modern furniture production company. Inspired by his early teenage experience working for a furniture retailing company, he nurtured his dream of establishing his own furniture brand. Urban Woodberry now offers high-end home and office furniture, including kitchen cabinets, wardrobes, bathroom furniture, and various types of doors.
Having successfully completed significant projects for clients such as the Ghana Judicial Services, Allianz Ghana, GIZ, Frimps Oil, HeFra, and Jaiz Bank, Legendary Foreshore and Urban Woodberry are now expanding their operations to Nigeria. With upcoming projects in the prestigious Ikoyi and V.I areas, Legendary Foreshore aims to cement its reputation as a construction and real estate powerhouse in the region. Simultaneously, Urban Woodberry is set to establish an ultra-modern wood processing factory, with operations anticipated to commence no later than March 2024.
When asked about his advice to aspiring professionals in the field, Ameh offered the following wisdom: “Discipline, commitment to continuous learning, and maintaining a lifestyle of integrity are the key pillars to success. Discipline ensures that you consistently meet industry demands, continuous learning enhances your capacity, and integrity builds trust, which is essential for steady and sustainable growth.”
With his accomplishments, combined with his steadfast commitment to excellence and innovative approach, Victor Ameh serves as an inspiration to the construction and furniture production industry in West Africa.
