ED Block Handover at Millennium Heights
Block 4 of WestProp Holdings' Millennium Heights development, popularly known as ED Block, was officially handed over to homeowners on Monday, marking a milestone in the Harare residential project. The ceremony was headlined by WestProp Holdings Chief Executive Ken Sharpe, who was expected to address residents on the project's progress, according to newzimbabwe.com.
Millennium Heights: A Fast-Selling Development
Millennium Heights has been described as the fastest-selling residential development in Harare. With more than 1,000 apartments planned across multiple blocks, the project has seen demand consistently outpace supply, a trend that continued with ED Block, whose units were sold out well ahead of completion, as reported by the same outlet. The project is valued at over $100 million.
Sharpe, in separate remarks carried by 263Chat, outlined WestProp's vision, which he described as "to lay one billion bricks by 2050, bringing Dubai-style developments to Zimbabwe and beyond." He also emphasized the role of teamwork, saying: "Behind every vision and every success is a strong team. It is never about the individual—it is always about the team that supports the leader."
Design and Sustainability
ED Block is distinguished for its modern architectural design, which aims to integrate clean lines, spacious interiors, and sustainable features, including solar energy integration and water recycling systems, according to newzimbabwe.com. The units are designed to maximize natural light, with balconies offering views of the evolving Millennium City skyline.
Integration into Millennium City
Upon completion, Millennium Heights will function as the "heartbeat" of Millennium City, integrating with larger developments such as the Mall of Zimbabwe, Pokugara Residential Estate, and Radisson-managed apartments, creating a walkable community that combines residential, retail, hospitality, and recreational spaces.
WestProp's Portfolio and Vision
WestProp's broader portfolio includes projects such as Gunhill Rise and Pomona City, which have helped establish the company's reputation for modern residential living and smart city development. The company also lists The Hills Luxury Golf Estate, a 127-hectare PGA-standard course with swimming and tennis academies, and the Mall of Zimbabwe, presented as a US$100 million retail hub.
WestProp has also received recognitions, including being named Company of the Year in Zimbabwe's construction industry, winning International Property Awards in Dubai, and receiving the African Achievers Award for Organisation of the Year. CEO Sharpe's invitation to the G20 Summit, where he was commended for distinguished African business leadership, and the company's US$5 billion land bank further indicate its ambitious scope, as reported by 263Chat.
Subsidiaries including Brick Fusion and Trustprop support the group's operations, while upcoming projects include Chivhu Eco-City and Swanville Estate in Bulawayo, according to the same source. WestProp's early projects, such as Gunhill Rise, introduced modern residential living, while Pomona City was conceived as a smart city integrating homes, offices, and leisure spaces. The Hills Luxury Golf Estate also includes swimming and tennis academies, as part of its holistic sport and lifestyle offering.
