Harare | In a bid to revolutionize Harare’s property landscape, Ken Sharpe, CEO of WestProp Holdings Ltd, has unveiled an ambitious vision aimed at transforming the city’s skyline and redefining residential living.
Sharpe’s optimism comes amidst a backdrop of significant growth and transformation within Zimbabwe’s real estate industry over the past five years.
The Harare property market, according to Sharpe, has experienced remarkable growth driven by factors such as increasing urbanization, a rising middle class, and expanding manufacturing output.

This growth has not only attracted local investors but also captured the attention of international players, presenting a plethora of opportunities across residential, commercial, and industrial sectors.
Central to WestProp’s strategy is the creation of lifestyle communities that foster social interaction and community living.
Sharpe emphasized the importance of incorporating cultural values into the developments, aiming to bring people together in shared spaces rather than isolating them within their homes.
One of the key innovations spearheaded by WestProp is the adoption of mixed-use developments, a departure from traditional single-use projects. This approach, Sharpe argues, optimizes land usage in the face of limited land banks while contributing to urban regeneration and community revitalization efforts.
Mr Sharpe said, “We have notable project in collaboration with the City of Harare is the transformation of Warren Hills Golf Course into a PGA-standard facility, branded as The Hills Lifestyle Estate.”
This venture aims to not only enhance recreational amenities but also introduce premium residential offerings attached to a 5-star hotel, promising resident’s exceptional views amidst lush greenery.
“WestProp’s current portfolio includes projects like Millennium Heights Luxury Apartments, Pomona City, and Pokugara
Residential Estate and Townhouses, each designed to offer residents a blend of modern amenities and eco-friendly features within close proximity to essential facilities,” Mr Sharpe said.
