Villagio Vista is a high-rise residential apartment complex located in Accra. It was built by Trassaco Estate Development Company and was completed in 2016.

The complex consists of three towers. The Alto tower was the tallest building in Ghana at 27 floors. The 100 meters Bank Square, commissioned in November 2024, emerged as the tallest building in Ghana.

Background

Villagio Vista is a three building apartment complex built with a boldly patterned facade, with inspiration from Kente, a traditional Ghanaian clothing garment. It consists of 3 buildings, Villagio Alto (yellow patterned), Villagio Azure (red patterned) and Villagio Aqua (green patterned).
