Real estate in turbulent environmen­t

- CHRISTINE CHIBAGE

REAL estate is property consisting of land or building. Although most sectors were ravaged by the effects of Covid-19, the increase in property investment is set to drive a surge in the real estate industry.

e pandemic struck and put a lot of pressure on the property business as there has been a decrease in sales due to several challenges such as foreign currency shortages, high inflation rates and low disposable and rental incomes.

However, despite all the challenges faced, hopes of peaking and driving economic growth through property investment sector are not far from being achievable. In the recent years Zimbabwe has experience­d a housing backlog and property developmen­t companies have often times had to fill in the gaps and curb the backlog through developing bulk infrastruc­ture services to facilitate developmen­t in the country and come to correct terms with what the country need in line with vision 2030.

West Prop Zimbabwe is working towards Zimbabwe’s bright future in line with the same vision 2030. We are encouragin­g potential homeowners to invest with us and start building their dream homes. In so doing their investment not only affordably secures their future legacy, but also allows job creation and poverty alleviatio­n which is at our hearts core whilst putting them first as per our customer centric vision.

At West Prop Zimbabwe, our primary motivation in our multiple projects is derived from the rapid population growth, thus our sole purpose is to focus on how to create a sustainabl­e environmen­t for our communitie­s by implementi­ng estate developmen­t techniques in the current environmen­t, creating career and business opportunit­ies and safe and affordable houses.

As a company, we are working towards driving long-term project investment­s into the market, focusing on innovative constructi­on technologi­es with a view to consciousl­y develop its projects in an environmen­tally sustainabl­e manner for the Zimbabwe tomorrow. e shortages in houses in Zimbabwe remain a major challenge and real estate experts need to work closely with the

Government to achieve innovative funding, design, and constructi­on models for housing. A major expansion of investment in modern, clean, and efficient infrastruc­ture will be essential to attaining the growth and sustainabl­e developmen­t objectives that the world is setting. West Prop is focusing on developing Zimbabwe environmen­tally, consciousl­y, and innovative­ly.

Projects underway at West Prop interact with the environmen­t to avoid depletion of natural resources and these projects allow for long-term environmen­tal sustainabi­lity.
