WestProp Expands Horizons to Chivhu<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
By Business Reporter-WestProp Holdings is opening a new chapter in its growth trajectory with an ambitious expansion into Chivhu, Mashonaland East, positioning the town as a future hub of investment, tourism\u00a0and\u00a0modern urban living.<\/p>\n
Located about 90 minutes from Harare, Chivhu\u00a0is strategically placed\u00a0at the intersection of key transport routes linking Harare, Gweru, Masvingo, Bulawayo, Mutare\u00a0and\u00a0Victoria Falls. It also serves as a vital corridor to regional markets in South Africa, Botswana\u00a0and\u00a0Mozambique, making it a natural midpoint for trade and logistics.<\/p>\n
WestProp\u2019s new development will be situated approximately 8 kilometres outside Chivhu along the road to the Dinson iron and steel plant, opposite the well-known Denise Kitchen. The project\u00a0is set\u00a0to transform the area into a modern mixed-use city.<\/p>\n
The site itself carries historical significance. Formerly known as Tangenhamo, it was once a thriving tourist destination that attracted visitors from across the world. WestProp now aims to revive and modernise this legacy, turning Chivhu into a vibrant centre for tourism, commerce\u00a0and\u00a0community life.<\/p>\n
Chivhu\u2019s economy has long\u00a0been anchored\u00a0in agriculture and mining, including tobacco farming, cattle ranching, and iron and steel production. Coupled with strong diaspora links to surrounding towns and cities, the area presents significant potential for sustainable urban development.<\/p>\n
Through this expansion, WestProp is seeking to unlock that potential by introducing modern housing, integrated infrastructure\u00a0and\u00a0community-focused spaces. The development will align with the company\u2019s \u201clive, work, shop\u00a0andplay\u201d model, which has defined its flagship projects.<\/p>\n
Chief executive officer\u00a0Mr\u00a0Ken Sharpe said the initiative places responsibility on local communities to embrace the transformation.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe onus is now on the people of Chivhu and surrounding areas to embrace the emergence of a smart city within their commune,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are happy to be expanding. We have largely focused on Harare, but due to growing demand for outward expansion, Chivhu has become our immediate priority. We intend to be a corridor for growth in Chivhu and nearby centres.\u201d<\/p>\n
WestProp is known for high-end developments such as Pokugara, Millennium Heights, Pomona City\u00a0and\u00a0The Hills Luxury Golf Estate, and\u00a0is expected\u00a0to replicate similar standards in Chivhu.<\/p>\n
Beyond real estate, the project\u00a0is also set\u00a0to revitalise the town\u2019s declining tourism infrastructure, signalling a broader vision to reposition Chivhu as a symbol of progress, connectivity\u00a0and\u00a0economic opportunity in Zimbabwe\u2019s evolving urban landscape.<\/p>\n
