Flintstone Homes

Flintstone Homes is one of the larger private housing developers in Addis Ababa. It is part of Flintstone Engineering S.C. The company builds apartment buildings in Sarbet, Bole, CMC and Kazanchis. Unlike most local developers, it publishes starting prices for its projects on its website.

History

Engineer Tsedeke Yihune founded Tsedeke Yihune Construction in 1992. The company later took the name Flintstone Engineering. It started selling homes in 2008 under the Flintstone Homes brand.

In May 2023, Capital reported that Flintstone had delivered about 5,000 houses and shops over 15 years. About 3,500 more units were under construction. The company also announced a share offering of 10 million shares at ETB 1,000 each. We could not confirm whether the offering closed.

Projects

Flintstone lists these projects on its website:

• Flintstone Sarbet, a seven floor building in Sarbet, from ETB 9,445,400.
• Flintstone Bole Roots, a nine floor building in Bole, from ETB 16,587,042.
• Flintstone CMC, a 10 floor building in the CMC area, from ETB 7,250,599.
• Flintstone Zala, a shared building program with partly finished one to three bedroom units from ETB 4 million.
• Urael Apartment, an 11 floor completed building.
• Kazanchis 1, an 11 floor completed building.

The company also lists the completed four floor Bogosian building on Tewodros Street.

Buying from Flintstone Homes

The website shows a starting price for each selling project. These prices change, so ask for a written quote. Under the Zala program, applicants need a bank balance of at least ETB 300,000 over the last six months. Zala units are delivered partly finished, so plan a budget for the finishing work.

Ask the sales team about the payment schedule, the finishing level and the contract delivery date. You can call +251 957 891 733 or the quick line 8188. To compare prices across the city, read our guide to house prices in Addis Ababa.

Track record

Flintstone has a large delivered stock. It has also had delays.

• In 2023, the company told Capital that it had missed delivery timelines on some projects. It blamed higher cement and steel prices and finance problems.
• In March 2025, The Reporter reported that Flintstone cut its prices from about ETB 110,000 to about ETB 69,000 per square meter during a sales slump.
