Ken Sharpe, CEO and Chairman of the Board at West Prop Zimbabwe, a leading property development company based in Harare, shares insights into the exciting developments reshaping the country’s urban landscape and offers a glimpse into the future of integrated living.

"In the next three years, I envision Millennium Heights completing over 50% of its development, with residents enjoying the vibrant community we have crafted. Picture a gym, a restaurant, and the first phase of 500 finished units with co-working spaces, a fantastic gym, pool and entertainment facilities. It all connects seamlessly to the park, leading into Pokugara Residential Estate, which is nearing complete sell-out with just a few residual and secondary sales. The Mall of Zimbabwe will either be finished or close to completion, alongside our completed and fully tenanted first 5,000-square-meter office building. This node will epitomize a thriving lifestyle community, embodying the envisioned ecosystem. Moving on to the Warren Hills project, The Hills Luxury Lifestyle Estate, we anticipate the completion and opening of the golf course in early 2026. Phase One units, including villas, townhouses, flats, and retirement flats (a new venture for us), will be finished, with an eye toward initiating phase two. In three years, the sporting and recreational facilities will be a reality, contributing to the manifestation of our holistic vision. Now, the most thrilling part for me is Pomona City, a project not widely known yet. Breaking the news for the first time, we are launching a US$4 billion city in November, introducing high-rise buildings, a paradigm shift for Zimbabwe. I have long envisioned bringing a touch of Dubai to Zimbabwe, and that vision is now taking shape. By the end of the year, will have started work on phase two, having already sold out phase one, a community of 750 stands with around 600 already sold. This city will redefine urban living with a comprehensive smart city concept. In three years, phase two will be well underway, marking a significant step toward our ambitious vision", says Ken Sharpe.
