ZBFH’s group projects and property development is a department within the holdings company, which is responsible for the property investment boutique.

The property portfolio currently comprises of over 40 000 square meters of commercial space valued at approximately $60 million.

With work on the ground having begun at Plumtree, ZBFH chief executive Ron Mutandagayi told shareholders at a recent AGM that selling of the stands is now close, despite earlier challenges.

“The group commenced works in Plumtree for the servicing of 708 high-and-medium-density residential stands. Selling of the development will commence in due course,” said Mr Mutandagayi.

“The project was initially planned for delivery in April, 2018. However, delays were experienced as a result of unforeseen cost escalations that occurred in September, 2017.”

At the beginning of this year, ZBFH announced that it had set aside $10 million for the purchase of land banks across the country that will be serviced for the resi­dential market.
