Message from the CEO & Founder of Rockstone Real Estate, Mr. Dietrich E. Rogge
Vision KEFITA shall be a best-in-class real estate development combining international best practices while also being a genuinely Ethiopian building both in terms of design and amenities. I started ROCKSTONE in 2013, today we have 3 offices in Berlin, Hamburg, and Munich in Germany, and by 2018 we expanded into Lisbon in Portugal and thereafter Madrid in Spain to diversify into other European countries. Next to diversifying my business, I started exploring real estate business opportunities in East Africa, and one of my closest friends and also now business partner pointed to Ethiopia. When I first arrived in Addis, I instantly fell in love with the country, its genuine culture, the warmth of its people and the metropolitan character of its capital, Addis Ababa. On a business level, it quickly became clear to me
We’ve found our plot
After an extensive search across central Addis Abeba we have located a plot. Situated in the off Embassy Row in the Signal district of Addis, the site extends to 2300m2.
