Real Estate and Property Awards 2025

9 In a saturated market, Thaton Property stands out for its unwillingness to compromise quality for quantity. Its developments are defined by a level of finish unparalleled in the region: full double glazing across all units, fitted kitchens equipped with Smeg appliances, and architectural designs that prioritise both aesthetic value and long-term durability. Thaton Property was the first developer to implement full double glazing in a Zimbabwean residential project – an innovation that reflects its commitment to raising the standard of local construction. Thaton Property’s developments range from lifestyle estates and residential complexes to commercial and hospitality builds, each tailored to the operational realities of Zimbabwe’s property market. The company works primarily with high-profile Zimbabweans operating within the medical, pharmaceutical, law, and agricultural fields, comprising government officials, retired business people, young and ambitious entrepreneurs, and investors seeking quality properties with high potential. At the heart of Thaton Property’s model is a deep respect for the client. The company’s approach is rooted in transparency, flexibility, and a genuine effort to ease the financial pressures many Zimbabweans face. Thaton offers tailored payment plans – including mortgages, extended terms of up to 65 months, and bespoke agreements designed around each client’s circumstances. Buyers are even granted occupation upon completion of their unit regardless of whether full payment has been made, whilst pricing remains deliberately competitive at no expense to quality. Thaton Property’s commitment to its clients goes beyond pricing and payment terms, extending to anticipating how the housing sector itself is changing. One of its current projects involves the development of 80 apartments on just 1.3 hectares – a move that reflects its embrace of densification, a relatively new practice in Harare. By building upward rather than outward, the company is able to maximise land use while maintaining quality and liveability. It also addresses infrastructure challenges headon, implementing backup systems to ensure consistent access to electricity, water, and security. In addition to enhancing day-to-day living, these measures will also keep operating costs manageable for residents. Its ability to deliver under pressure is a defining part of Thaton Property’s identity. The company has built its developments without relying on borrowed funds – a rare feat in a capital-intensive industry. Operating through periods of economic uncertainty and logistical difficulty, the team has remained focused on its long-term vision and is even on course to deliver the first ever lifestyle estate in Zimbabwe. Transparency has been central to this journey, with clients kept informed at every stage and trust maintained through open communication and consistent delivery. Behind Thaton Property’s steady momentum is a team of highly trained professionals who bring both technical fluency and client-facing clarity to the table. The sales division plays a particularly strategic role, generating leads through a wide range of channels – from billboards and online portals to exhibitions, referrals, and even drive-by interest. Once engaged, prospective buyers are guided through a comprehensive presentation of the development, supported by renderings, site plans, permits, and other technical documentation. Looking ahead, Thaton Property remains focused on expanding its footprint while staying true to the principles that have shaped its journey so far. With new developments underway and a growing client base, the company is poised to play an instrumental role in Zimbabwe’s evolving urban landscape. Its commitment to quality, transparency, and long-term value continues to guide every decision, from the materials it selects to the partnerships it builds. As the housing sector faces new pressures and possibilities, Thaton Property stands ready to meet them with a vision for how Zimbabweans can live, invest, and thrive.
