CHAS Everitt International Property Group, one of Africa’s leading real estate firms, is today expected to officially open its new Bulawayo offices as part of its broader expansion drive in Zimbabwe.
The Minister of State for Provincial Affairs and Devolution for Bulawayo, Judith Ncube, is set to preside over the official launch ceremony.
Several Government officials, business leaders and representatives from the local authority are also expected to attend.
The Bulawayo launch comes just six months after the company’s successful debut in Harare — a move the firm says demonstrates its growing confidence in Zimbabwe’s real estate market and its long-term growth potential.
In a recent update to Zimpapers Business Hub, the company said Bulawayo — long regarded as the country’s industrial and cultural hub — is now experiencing what it termed a “property renaissance,” driven by renewed business activity and investor interest.
The new Bulawayo office will initially focus on premium suburbs such as Khumalo, Hillside, and Famona, where demand for upmarket properties remains strong. Property prices in Khumalo alone have risen by 12 percent in the past two years.
Other areas on the firm’s radar include Burnside and Riverside, which have seen property values appreciate by 10 to 15 percent over the past five years, making them attractive prospects for both rental income and long-term investment.
Chas Everitt’s growing footprint in Zimbabwe aligns with its strategy to tap into emerging property markets across Africa, supported by increased investor confidence and economic reforms driving urban renewal in major cities.
