UK-based company, TripleM Group Holdings led by Dr Masithokoze Moyo, a Zimbabwean-British aviation professional and entrepreneur, has partnered with United Arab Emirates (UAE) master-developer Arada alongside its social and philanthropic arm, the Arada Foundation on real estate investment.
The partnership which has evolved into a landmark Government Public-Private Partnership (PPP) framework is designed to create a lasting legacy for Zimbabwe.
Launched in 2017, Arada is a major real estate master developer headquartered in the UAE. The company focuses on building large-scale, sustainable, and family-friendly communities that combine residential, commercial, retail and wellness spaces.
In a statement, Dr Moyo who is also an author and philanthropist, said with protocols already in motion and active talks underway, TripleM Group stands as the strategic partner and face of Zimbabwe, bridging real estate investment across One Africa, the UAE, and Europe.
“Key pillars of the partnership include sustainable infrastructure and housing through building master-planned, eco-friendly communities and modern housing solutions.
“On water modernisation, the partnership will include strategic investment in vital water treatment and supply infrastructure across development zones. While on education and school construction, we are partnering directly with the Arada Foundation to construct state-of-the-art schools, e-learning centers and educational hubs,” she said.
She said on entrepreneurial and civil society support, there will be sponsoring of incubator programmes, skills transfer and local business growth to ensure a win-win outcome for everyday citizens.
Dr Moyo said the next steps were executing Presidential talks for high-level meeting with President Mnangagwa to align national infrastructure, policy protocols and Arada Foundation development goals.
“We are also finalising protocol concluding formal government-level agreements already in active negotiation. We will have a property roadshow, hosting the official TripleM Group Properties x Arada Properties Roadshow in Zimbabwe for private citizens interested in UAE investment opportunities.”
She said this was a win-win alignment focused on business excellence and civil society upliftment.
In a post on LinkedIn, Arada Developments Relationship Manager, Mr Amro Mansour said the partnership represented a meaningful step towards wider investor access, trusted relationships and lasting global legacies.
“I would like to begin by expressing my sincere appreciation to Dr Masithokoze Moyo Founder of TripleM Group Holdings and TripleM Group Properties Ltd, for her vision, leadership and determination in bringing this partnership to life.
“Dr Moyo has worked with purpose to create a credible gateway between African investors and carefully selected opportunities in the UAE property market,” he said.
“Her leadership throughout the process of cementing this relationship has demonstrated the importance of trust, shared values, and a long-term commitment to the people we serve. It is an absolute privilege to collaborate with TripleM Group Properties Ltd on this new chapter.”
He said the partnership was about far more than facilitating property transactions, it was about connecting regions, communities and ambitions.
Mr Mansour said Africa is home to a growing generation of entrepreneurs, professionals, business owners, families and internationally minded investors who want to preserve capital, diversify their portfolios and participate confidently in global markets.
“However, accessing an international property market can sometimes appear complicated or distant without the right relationships, local knowledge, and trusted guidance.
“TripleM Group Properties Ltd can help close that distance. By combining its understanding of African investors with Arada’s commitment to creating exceptional destinations and experiences, this partnership can establish a clearer and more accessible route into the UAE property market,” he added.
He said the positive potential extends beyond Africa and the UAE as the UAE occupies a strategic position between Africa, Europe, Asia, and the wider Middle East, while Arada’s growing international outlook reaches into markets including the United Kingdom and Australia.
Mr Mansour said this creates an opportunity to build relationships and investment pathways that begin in Africa, connect through the UAE, reach Europe and continue well beyond.
“The UAE has developed into one of the world’s most internationally connected business and lifestyle destinations. Its modern infrastructure, aviation links, digital services, diverse population, and investor-focused environment make it an important base for people seeking global access.”
Arada has been formed by two of the Gulf’s most respected businessmen, HH Sheikh Sultan bin Ahmed Al Qasimi, acting as Chairman, and HRH Prince Khaled bin Alwaleed bin Talal, acting as
Executive Vice Chairman.
As Group Chief Executive Officer (CEO), Ahmed Alkhoshaibi has led the company since inception and is responsible for all aspects of corporate performance.
