PRESIDENT Emmerson Mnangagwa Friday unveiled a US$300 million worth The Hills Luxury Golf Estate project being undertaken by WestProp Holdings Limited and other partners.
The project has an excess of 862 residential units and will accommodate about 4,310 people and will see an increase in the available housing stock in the capital city of Harare. The Gold Estate will include 18 hole championship golf course modeled after PGA Tour courses, Villas, apartments, townhouses and retirement flats.
A 5 –star branded hotel linked to a shopping mall and office park, Tennis and Swimming academies among other facilities.
Addressing delegates attending the groundbreaking ceremony, Mnangagwa hailed the company for its unwavering commitment in complementing government’s efforts.
“This event follows yet another success milestone by the company, as I had the pleasure in November last year to officiate at the ground-breaking ceremony for the Millennium Heights Housing project, here in Harare. I commend West Properties for making the decision to continue investing in our economy, particularly in the housing and human settlement development space,” he said.
He said the project is a testament to the private sector’s confidence in the Second Republic’s economic policies and is one of the building blocks for the company to realize a ‘billion bricks’ into the ground and will go a long way towards the realisation of our national Vision and aspects of the New Urban Agenda as well as Sustainable Development Goal Number 11 on sustainable cities and communities.
Mnangagwa said it is encouraging that the project is being implemented, guided by the ‘lifestyle developer philosophy’.
He underscored that trough this development and management approach, the project is set to ensure access to modern, sustainable and functional human settlements by our citizenry, including those in the diaspora
“I applaud West Properties and all the stakeholders of this signature project for fully embracing green technologies and building certification best practices. This complements Government efforts towards building clean, planned, resilient and sustainable cities, while our country attains the overall climate change mitigation and adaptation targets,” he said.
Mnangagwa said the Hills Luxury Golf Estate, which is anchored on the live, work, shop and play mixed land use planning approach, sets the tone for the growth of our country’s sporting and tourism sectors, among other facets of a modern lifestyle.
