Turner & Townsend, a global professional services company, has acquired Profica, a leading pan-African real estate project management and construction solutions consultancy, for an undisclosed amount. This corporate acquisition marks a significant expansion of Turner & Townsend’s capabilities and footprint across the African continent, making it clear this transaction involves one company buying another, not a funding round.
Profica is recognized as Africa’s first choice for comprehensive real estate and construction solutions. With offices in over 10 countries across the continent, the firm specializes in expert development and construction consulting services, as well as turnkey workplace solutions. Its extensive service offering spans diverse sectors including Offices, Residential, Industrial & Logistics, Retail, Hotels, Healthcare, and Data Centres, catering to both investor and occupier clients with a strong track record for award-winning project management and local market expertise.
The acquisition is strategically designed to strengthen Turner & Townsend's presence and delivery capacity in the growing African market. By integrating Profica's deep regional knowledge and established client relationships with its own global network and expertise, Turner & Townsend aims to offer a more robust and comprehensive suite of services. This move will enable the combined entity to better serve multinational clients and capitalize on the increasing demand for high-quality, integrated project and construction management solutions across Africa’s dynamic built environment.
Through this acquisition, the combined entity is set to enhance its ability to deliver complex real estate and infrastructure projects across Africa, leveraging shared best practices and a broader talent pool. The integration is expected to create significant value for clients by combining global standards with localized delivery, positioning the new organization as a formidable leader in African project and construction management services.
