HARARE – West Property is investing US$100 000 in greening two of its prestigious developments Millennium Park and Pomona City.
Company chief executive officer Ken Sharpe recently announced the move indicating that the huge investment would be a first in Zimbabwe.
The tree planting will coincide with the national tree planting day on 1 December. Trees and shrubs will be planted creating a green zone and eye catching views.

The developments can be characterised in many ways that include garden city, green city, smart city because of the use of renewable energy, planting of trees, flowers and use of sustainable building materials.
West Property is offering serviced residential stands and completed affordable luxury premium lifestyle housing units making a huge affirmation on the property scene and helping Harare achieve its world class status.

Presently selling hot and attracting the interest of buyers is the 270 ha Pomona City project with close to 600 stands ranging from 500 to 3000 square metres.
Dubbed a city within a city because of its futuristic picturesque developments, use of technology to complete a digital and mixed use community, Pomona City is earmarked to enhance Harare’s world class city vision by 2025.
Meanwhile, Sharpe predicts that in 28 years his investment currently standing at US$3 billion would be worth USS$30 billion.
His projections speak to thousands of people interested in property and are hesitant to make an investment move.
The current value of West Property investments stands at US$3 billion which is being equated to the 0ne billion bricks that the company intends to build by 2050.
Sharpe says by 2050 the value of the properties would have appreciated.
“We are creating this lifestyle estate,” says Mr Sharpe who has never missed an opportunity to describe the kind of development he is bring to Zimbabwe under the rallying mantra “Bringing Dubai to Zimbabwe”.
“When you look at that value today, it is worth US$3 billion. US$3 billion is how much our bricks equate to in the built-up area.
“Mark my words, by 2050, the value of property in Zimbabwe today at US$3 billion is going be much higher than US$3 billion. We are talking about US$15 billion to US$30 billion of value that we are creating for our nation,” said Sharpe.
West Property has three major projects underway in Harare which include Millennium Park, a mix of high-rise apartments, townhouses and stand-alone residential homes, the Pomona City project, which consists of standalone residential units, a mall, churches, apartments and huge green fields.
