A still frame aimed at the diaspora makes a simple promise: a home back home, with 38 of 56 residences still available. That is a specific, checkable number, not a mood line, and it is the kind of claim broker catalogues for apartments for sale in Gambia rarely make at all, let alone against a source you can re-check later. This article checks that figure against Platinum Tower's own availability page, the same way the room for everyone ad was checked before it.

What the ad actually shows

The piece is a still frame with a short line of text: a home back home, with a count of residences still available. It names no floor, no line and no unit type. That brevity is the point of the format, but it also means the number is the only part of the ad a buyer can verify before calling the sales team.

The 38 of 56 figure, broken down

Platinum Tower has 56 residences in total, 18 studios, 18 two bedroom homes, 18 three bedroom homes and 2 penthouses, per the developer's own residences page. On the developer's own availability and pricing page, the 7 October 2026 snapshot showed 38 of those 56 residences available: 13 of 18 studios, 9 of 18 two bedroom homes and 16 of 18 three bedroom homes. Both penthouses, 10A and 10B, were already sold and are not part of that count. The ad's figure matches this snapshot exactly. For how the three typologies compare, see studio, two bedroom or three bedroom: which fits.

What the count looks like today

Availability moves as reservations are confirmed, and this one has. On 17 October 2026 the same page listed 37 of 56 residences available. That is one fewer than the ad's figure, and it reflects a unit that sold in the days between the ad going out and this check, not an inaccurate claim at the time it was made. Treat any published count, including this one, as a snapshot: confirm the current figure on the availability and pricing page or with the sales team before you commit to a specific line or floor.

Sea view and price, for the record

The ad does not mention sea view or price, but both come up quickly once a buyer starts comparing units, so they are worth stating correctly here. Sea view is not limited to the sold penthouses: it also covers lines A to D on floors three to nine, 28 homes in total, per the Outlook column on the developer's own records. Lines E and F, the studios, face inland toward Bakau's diplomatic quarter; a related guide on why the diaspora is buying property back home covers the wider motivation behind that kind of purchase. On price, the only figure this brand publishes anywhere is the studio, from EUR 89,900, the lowest priced unit in the building. Prices are indicative and subject to contract, and the two bedroom, three bedroom and penthouse prices stay off public pieces until requested directly.

Where construction actually stands

The ad shows a still frame, not a site photo, so it makes no claim about what is built. For the record: as of the 7 October 2026 update on the developer's own construction progress page, the structure stood at the second floor, with the ground floor cast and the first slabs in place. The eleven level design shown in renders will rise above that, floor by floor; it is a future state, not a completed one, and any count of available homes sits inside that same under construction building.
