Legendary Foreshore, a construction and real estate company, had modest beginnings in Accra, Ghana, back in 2016. It started as a building renovation company operating out of Victor’s bedroom. However, ambition and vision fueled the company’s growth, and by 2018, it had evolved into a full-scale construction and real estate powerhouse.
Victor’s journey hasn’t been without its share of challenges. His first business venture faced adversity, leaving him in debt and disheartened. However, Victor’s resilience and unwavering determination turned the tide. His story is a testament to going from rumbles to reigning.
With a background in accounting, with more than 6years banking experience; and a secret passion for architecture, Victor combines his financial acumen with architectural expertise, creating complex 3D drawings for each project.

When asked about advice for aspiring professionals in his field, Victor emphasizes three key principles.

Victor’s advice to the world, “Discipline is the soul of an army; it can make even the worst failure a success.” He continues, “Learning ultimately determines your earning capacity in this industry.”
Continuous learning, according to him, is a path to increased earning capacity in the industry. Finally, maintaining a lifestyle of integrity is crucial, as trust once broken can rarely be restored.
In Victor’s words, his personal motto is, “Boldly contending for that which is right, and firmly rejecting that which is wrong.” This unwavering commitment to principles has been the guiding force behind his remarkable journey.
