By Business Reporter-WestProp Holdings has officially broken ground onPomona Flats, a landmark residential development that signals the launch of its visionary US$4 billionPomona Cityproject, a bold smart-city initiative set to transform the urban experience in Harare.
Dubbed “a city within a city,” Pomona City is strategically located next to Wingate Golf Club and near Harare’s fast-growing Green Zone. Anchored in the globally trending “15-minute city” concept, it promises residents convenient access to schools, parks, healthcare, shopping, and workplaces — all within a short walk from home.
“Today marks more than the laying of bricks; it marks the foundation of a thriving, self-contained community,” saidKen Sharpe, WestProp Holdings CEO at the groundbreaking ceremony Tuesday in Harare “Pomona is where urban aspirations meet lifestyle innovation, a place where families flourish.”
The first phase of Pomona Flats includes:
Pomona Flats is the first high-rise development in Harare North within an integrated mixed-use enclave. Prices for apartments start at US$70,000, with one- to three-bedroomed units available.
WestProp is also offering lucrative deals for corporates and government departments to acquire entire blocks for employee accommodation.
Speaking at the groundbreaking ceremony on July 29, WestProp ChairmanDr. Michael Louissaid Pomona Flats was not just another housing project, but the cornerstone of an ambitious vision to redefine Zimbabwean urban living.
“Pomona City is more than concrete and steel. It’s a transformational space designed with people and sustainability in mind.
At WestProp, we don’t build structures — we craft environments,” said Louis.
By Q4 this year, WestProp expects to have 10 projects running across Harare, creating over 1,000 jobs and injecting US$174 million into Zimbabwe’s urban economy.
