WestProp Holdings (WestProp) says it plans to prioritise sustainability and security in its upcoming projects, The Hills and Pomona City.
The Victoria Falls Stock Exchange-listed property concern highlighted its commitment to creating developments that are not only secure but also environmentally friendly.
“In both The Hills (which has a record breaking 82 percent open space and green areas) as well as Pomona City where we are going to recreate new land features that will see future properties overlooking water bodies, green belts and eco parks as well as ultra gatehouses which will be equipped with guard rooms, 24/7 surveillance cameras and access control, gadgets including electronic and cloud-based access technology aided by AI as well as a full solar green energy supply with batteries and a charge room to power the entire site 24/7,” WestProp chairman Michael Louis said in a statement accompanying financials.
Westprop’s developments suggest a significant shift towards sustainable development practices within the Zimbabwean property market.
The focus on green spaces, eco-friendly energy solutions, and advanced security systems makes The Hills and Pomona City highly anticipated projects for residents seeking a secure and sustainable living environment.
Louis said in the group’s continued commitment to sustainability, it has embraced global trends, the use of technology, climate change and the green movement.
“We have created a future-focused culture through driving sustainability initiatives as envisaged in our vision of putting to ground “a billion bricks by 2050,” he said.
He added that throughout 2023 the group led a clean-up campaign and maintenance of the Harare Gardens to encourage environmental awareness and practices.
