WestProp Holdings has announced an expansion into Chivhu, Mashonaland East Province, a town about one hour and 30 minutes from Harare along the Beitbridge Highway.
The company plans a development roughly 8km outside Chivhu, towards the new iron and steel plant at Dinson.
Chivhu’s economy is based on farming and mining, including iron and steel, tobacco and cattle ranching.
The town also sits on major road links to Harare, Gweru, Masvingo, Bulawayo, Victoria Falls and Mutare and serves as a corridor to South Africa, Botswana and Mozambique.
WestProp chief executive Mr Ken Sharpe feels the “onus is now on the people of Chivhu and surrounding towns and growth points to embrace the emergence of a smart city within their commune”.
“We are happy to be expanding. We have previously concentrated our developments in Harare but due to demand and calls for outward growth, we have decided to make Chivhu our immediate target.
“We are going to be the corridor for growth in Chivhu and nearby centres,” he said.
WestProp is the developer behind projects such as Pokugara, Millennium Heights, Pomona City and The Hills Luxury Golf Estate.
