Originally planned as an extension to the historic Victoriaborg neighbourhood, East Ridge is being transformed into a commercial and leisure district of Accra, with the siting of the National Theatre and Efua Sutherland Children's Park in the neighbourhood.

East Ridge also hosts an entire area of government offices known as the "Ministries". With recent plans to redevelop the racecourse into a mixed-used commercial area anchored by the new Kempinski Gold Coast City hotel, provision has been made to relocate ministries to be affected by the development.^[1]

The area of East Ridge, North Ridge, and West Ridge is collectively referred to as "The Ridge". This area is populated by several major embassies, including those of Germany and the United Kingdom. In addition, several of Accra's upmarket hotels, and several Ghanaian administrative offices are located in this neighbourhood.
