success of that project, DiGreen Homes hopes to do more office and retail work. Residential work will remain their “bread and butter,” Abubakar says, but they also hope to do some diversifying there as well. In the near future, their goal is tomove into the mid-rise and high-rise sectors. Abubakar calls that “natural transition for us,” as the company has been working in the low-rise sector for a very long time already, and they have developed a team capable of working at larger scales. In addition, DiGreen Homes has also started exploring the industrial sector. That sector may not be as natural a transition as larger-scale residential, but the company strongly believes they have the capability and expertise to be successful in that space. Lastly, Abubakar says that the company aims to grow and get bigger. They believe the opportunity is there, that “the market is big enough,” and they want to take advantage. “Because we’re vertically integrated, we’re both a developer and a builder, we have a lot of opportunities,” he says. “We’re going to pursue those opportunities. We’re going to diversify and get into different asset classes. We’re going to expand our geographic reach. We’re going to be aggressive.” “We have a fairly young team,” he concludes. “We’re not afraid of experimenting and taking risks. That’s what allows us to be different.” SEPTEMBER 2022
