Tatiana dedicates latest gong to Zimbabwe

FOR Zimbabwean investor and businesswoman, Tatiana Ellis, national impact always comes ahead of personal grandeur.

Her professional exploits have been recognized at an international scale, yet she remains humble and focused on what she knows best – building a better Zimbabwe for all. It came as no surprise when Tatiana scooped the female executive of the year top gong at the recently held Megafest National Awards.

Tatiana’s latest accolade comes on the back of her multiple award-winning property developments in a male-dominated Zimbabwean property industry. Under the tutelage of a shrewd business leader in Ken Raydon Sharpe whose vision is to put 1 billion bricks into the ground by 2050, there are no limits to what Tatiana and her team can achieve.

“We are committed to making a lasting impact in the communities we serve and I dedicate this award to every hardworking Zimbabwean, and the WestProp family”, said Tatiana.

“We will continue to play our part in contributing towards the economic renaissance of this beautiful country”, Tatiana further said as she congratulated Zimbabwe on the occasion of its national Independence Day.

The Iron Lady also saluted corporate organizations that are giving women a chance at executive positions on account of merit. “Because when you empower a woman, you empower the nation”, Tatiana countered.
The Award-Winning Projects
It is often said that there is no testimony without the test. In her exploits under the visionary leadership of West Property CEO Ken Sharpe, Tatiana Ellis has promoted the rise of ‘Dubai’ in Zimbabwe. The upmarket and ultra-modern developments that West Property has come up with include Millennium Heights Apartment Estate and Pokugara Residential Estate Townhouses in Borrowdale which are available at the lock-up shell level.
Below is a detailed description of the flagship developments that Tatiana Ellis has been involved with:

1. Pomona City
Pomona City, which has been fittingly described as a city within a city, has adopted the innovative leasehold option of land ownership as part of efforts to enable the middle-income class to access decent housing at affordable prices.

The leasehold option affords an individual an opportunity to obtain land to build on and construct their dream home without a large capital outlay. In southern Africa, leasehold ownership is popular in countries such as South Africa and Botswana, to name a few. An example closer home, in South Africa, is the prestigious Waterfall City next to the Mall of Africa in Johannesburg, which also embraced the leasehold ownership concept.

Pomona City will be a secure gated community and estate comprising predominantly residential stands with some facing the Wingate Park Golf Course. The estate comprises a shopping center, schools, a park, a clubhouse, a crèche, and a church avenue. The stands are in four categories and phases. Phase 1A stands consist of large stands ranging from 2,000 to 3,000 square meters. Some of the stands are along the picturesque golf course, giving our clients magnificent views.

2. Pokugara Residential Estate Townhouse
Pokugara Residential Estate in Borrowdale is made up of residential stands and double and single-story houses. We offer flexible payment terms to afford middle-income earners opportunities to purchase residential stands in a high-class area.

Pokugara Residential Estate is located in Borrowdale West, Harare along Whitwell Road and corner Teviotdale Road.

The award-winning townhouses are 166sqm and have three bedrooms (mes), whilst the double-story townhouses sit on 226sqm with four bedrooms (mes) and an open-plan kitchen, dining, and living space, a common bathroom, and an en-suite staff room.

The units are completely serviced and will have backup water, provision of solar backup, and metered LPG gas.

These developments are sold at the lock-up shells stage whereby the house is completed with roofing and has windows and exterior doors installed.

In addition, plumbing and electrical fittings are also done whilst the interior finishes are left to the client/buyer to complete to their taste and preference.

In addition, the residential estate will include recreational facilities such as a clubhouse, braai area, gym, and swimming pool. These will be available in Phase 2 of the development, which is now on offer.

3. Millennium Heights Apartment Estate

West Property wants to make Millennium Heights, which is part of Millennium Park, a self-contained city within the next decade. The development is an apartment complex located at the end of Maxwell Road, Borrowdale West, in Harare North.

The 24 units in the first block, which have been completed to lock up stage, are all sold out. We are currently selling Block 2 for which all studios have been sold out. We only have a few units left, which can be secured with a 30% deposit. Block 3 of Millennium Heights is now on offer. Units measure 41sqm for the bedsitter/studio, 90sqm for the 1 bed, and 131sqm for the 2-bedroom units. All come with a bathroom and open-plan dining and living rooms with built-in kitchens.

All apartments feature large verandas/balconies, some with beautiful views and space for outdoor furniture and potted plants. They come completely serviced and will have backup water, solar, and metered LPG gas.

On the commercial side, the trend-setting Mbudzi People’s Market in Harare has become a source of living and an employment opportunity for the young and old in the southern suburbs of Harare. With the Mall of Zimbabwe on the horizon, Tatiana’s shared dream of positioning Zimbabwe on the global map through infrastructure development will soon be realized.
For these and other projects in the pipeline, hats off, Tatiana!!!

To add to the trailblazing achievements of WestProp under the astute leadership of Ken Sharpe, on 29 April 2023, the multiple award-winning West Property will go public by listing on the Victoria Falls Stock Exchange (VFEX). Besides its lucrative returns on investment, this ground-breaking development will also give every Zimbabwean an opportunity to invest and own a part of West Property Holdings’ unfolding 1 billion bricks story right at the heart of Africa – Zimbabwe.
