Zimbabwe: Sustainability Takes Center Stage in Zimbabwe's Booming Real Estate Sector

15 July 2025

As Zimbabwe's real estate sector continues to boom, with a current valuation of over $11 billion, sustainability is emerging as a key driver of growth and innovation.

According to Mr Morgan Makamure, General Manager of the Zimbabwe Property Expo 2025, "The role of sustainability in the property sector is rapidly growing in importance, driven by climate change concerns, regulatory shifts, cost efficiency, and increasing demand from investors and consumers."

The Zimbabwe Property Expo 2025, set to take place later this year, will shine a spotlight on sustainable housing, smart city solutions and climate-conscious infrastructure.

"In Zimbabwe and globally, sustainable real estate is no longer a niche trend--it is a competitive necessity," Makamure said.

In a separate interview, Zimbabwe Property Expo CEO Mr Samuel Mapingusa said the expo will not be just an ordinary event.

"This expo is not just an event--it is a gateway to partnerships, trends, and opportunities that will define the next decade of real estate in Zimbabwe," he said.

The expo will feature live seminars, networking lounges, and project showcases, providing a platform for stakeholders to exchange ideas and form long-term partnerships.

With the sector growing at an average rate of 5 percent annually, driven by increased urbanisation and infrastructure development, the expo is poised to be a game-changer for Zimbabwe's real estate industry.
