PUBLISHER’S MEMO

This edition mirrors the continued vibrancy and ambitious growth defining Zimbabwe’s dynamic built environment.

We start off with a spotlight on the impressive strides being made by Turnbury Property Development and its sister company, Troika Design Workshop (TDW).

This relatively young but formidable group is rapidly staking its claim among the most active and trusted players, operating as both property developers and a full-service consulting firm that seamlessly integrates architecture, quantity surveying, and engineering competencies. Drawing on their wide expertise and foresight, they have recently completed the high-profile Metcalf One Complex, situated just behind the Honeydew Shopping Centre.

The Metcalf One cluster development occupies two adjoining 3,500 sqm stands, providing a substantial total site area of approximately 7,000 sqm. Each of the 14 duplex units offers 140 sqm of thoughtfully designed liveable space, successfully combining comfort with modern functionality. Owners of these duplex units will be conferred with Sectional Title Deeds, securing a lifetime stake in a complex specifically created to redefine modern urban living in Harare by blending contemporary architecture with practicality.

Assurance of quality, in tandem with the use of premium materials, is paramount in the industry. This focus is brilliantly captured by the Dulux Trade Full Spectrum Guarantee. In large-scale construction, the final coat of paint is often the most visible measure of a project’s quality. Achieving a flawless, lasting finish demands more than just premium paint; it requires partnership, precision, and accountability—precisely what this comprehensive guarantee delivers to commercial complexes, hotels, and modern homes alike.

A true foundation of the industry, Halsted Builders Express, recently celebrated a significant milestone, reinforcing its unwavering commitment to the nation’s growth. Born of the vision to be "building tomorrow together," the company inaugurated a newly relocated and expanded branch along the Harare/Kwekwe Highway in Kwekwe, marking its second outlet in the Midlands Province. Having contributed to Zimbabwe's development for over 75 years, Halsteds understands that “every project, no matter how big or small, is a step toward a better future.”

Turnbury Property Development, teaming up with sister company Troika Design Workshop (TDW), are rapidly staking their claim among the most active and trusted, property developers and full-service consulting firm offering architecture, quantity surveying and engineering competencies.

Delivering high profile real estate developments in Harare, the relatively young group of companies, has once again drawn on their wide expertise and foresight to build and complete the Metcalf One Complex, just behind the Honeydew Shopping Centre, home of Food Lovers’ Market.

12

PROJECT SCOPE AND ARCHITECTURE The cluster development occupies two adjoining 3,500 sqm stands, giving a total site area of approximately 7,000 sqm.

Each of the 14 units offers 140 sqm of thoughtfully designed liveable space, combining comfort and modern functionality. Owners of the Metcalf One duplex units will be conferred with Sectional Title Deeds for a lifetime in a complex created to redefine modern urban living in Harare, and blending contemporary architecture with comfort and practicality.

Each home maximizes light, air, and open-plan living, while thoughtfully integrated green spaces and sustainable features enhance everyday life.

Beyond the open-plan ground floor and private garden, interior design elements were incorporated to maximize the comfortable family accommodation within the 125 sqm footprint. Commentingon the modern complex, Projects Director Simanga Madhlabuta explains, “The units have a beautiful floating staircase ensuring that no space is wasted.

Additionally, there is provision to double-stack a dishwasher and a washing machine in the kitchen… offering convenience and enhancing utilisation.”

COMMERCIAL DETAILS

The complex is already all sold out to an institutional client. However, Turnbury Property Management has started shortlisting clients for renting the units. Its specific highend features, finishes justify the units’ premium positioning in the much coveted Greendale market. The primary target market for this upmarket development are young professionals as well as small families who value security, modernity and high standards of living. Unit owners will discover that proximity to the renowned Food Lovers’ Market specifically enhances the lifestyle and investment value of the Metcalf One location.

“Metcalf One is literally at the back of the ever-sprawling Food Lovers’ Market at Honeydew in Greendale. This means one can simply take a 3 minute walk and experience the convenience that is offered at Food Lovers’. It’s the best location in Greendale,” commented the Projects Director.

LOCATION AND CONNECTIVITY Residents enjoy staying close to business districts, and a secure community environment, making the complex ideal for those seeking a stylish, functional, and connected urban lifestyle.

Some of the nearest shopping experiences and essential services (apart from Food Lovers’ Market) near the Metcalf One cluster units are Highland Park (4kms away), Kamfinsa (4kms away), Cresta Lodge (2 kms), Harare CBD (5kms) and the RGMI Airport (15kms).

Amenities, utilities, and security Shared and individual unit amenities available to residents include a communal club house and swimming pool, generous garden space for each unit, laundry area, outdoor pergola, and 2 dedicated parking bays per unit.

In light of the usual municipal challenges, sustainable infrastructure solutions for easy water and electricity access have been provided at Metcalf One Complex.

The developers have drilled two boreholes and equipped each unit with solar energy systems to ensure a reliable and sustainable utilities supply for their tenants.

17

Additionally, all units at the complex are connected to reticulated LPG gas for cooking, providing a convenient and safe energy solution. In terms of security features and access controls for the complex, they have a 24 hour remotely monitored CCTV, 24 hour guards, 10-strand electric fence around the brick perimeter wall as well as access control for the residents.

HALSTED BUILDERS EXPRESS OPENS NEWLY RELOCATED KWEKWE BRANCH

Text - Martin Chemhere Images – Caast Media Group

28

Halsted Builders Express, a company born of the vision of “building tomorrow together,” recently celebrated a major milestone, the opening of a newly relocated branch along the Harare/Kwekwe Highway, Kwekwe, making it the second in the Midlands Province after Gweru.

Previously the Kwekwe branch operated from Stand Number 1 Cobar Street, Light Industrial Area. Having been part of Zimbabwe's growth for over 75 years, Halsteds understands that “every project, no matter how big or small, is a step toward a better future.

Whether you're building a home, running a business, or repairing what matters most, you're not just working with timber and tools—you're building a life, a legacy, a tomorrow.”

It is against this backdrop that the new Halsted Builders Express Kwekwe, spanning an impressive 2,400 square metres, offers customers a far more spacious, modern, and efficiently laid-out shopping experience. Strategically located just off the highway, the store provides easy access for both local residents and out-of-town contractors traveling through the Midlands, built for convenience with ample parking and a brighter, more open design.

The scale and strategic layout of the new complex are immediately evident.

The exterior features a large warehouse park, comprising a massive, long building with a dark, corrugated metal roof, complemented by a smaller, separate turquoise-roofed structure.

This large industrial footprint is situated alongside a major road, and the site is a true commercial hub, with the main entrance prominently displaying the illuminated "Halsted Builders Express" sign, sharing the complex frontage with other businesses like "House & Home," "Dees Pharmacy," and "Bakers Inn," creating a one-stop destination for various needs.

The forecourt and yard areas accommodate large storage areas containing stacked building materials and pallets, and the store’s distinctive look, including its corrugated metal roof and brick facade, glows brightly with signage at dusk.

29

As is the standard with all Halsted Builders Express stores countrywide, the Kwekwe branch is backed by three rigorous quality control measures for materials like cement, steel, and timber.

They source exclusively from trusted, reputable suppliers, they grade all incoming materials on arrival to confirm they meet stringent benchmarks, and they reject any products that fall short due to defects, damage, or inconsistency.

Inside the 2,400 square metres, the store utilizes a modern, warehouse-style layout with high, truss-supported metal roofs and bright strip lighting.

The retail floor is organized into clear departments for "hardware," "plumbing," "bathroom accessories," and "security," showcasing a vast product range.

The bathroom section offers high- end sanitary ware, including multiple white bathtubs and a striking freestanding black and white tub, alongside wall displays of chromeplated fittings, including Franke stainless steel kitchen sinks and an extensive range of Wilro

by Bri and Cobra taps and shower mixers and bathroom accessories.

The offerings cover everything from rough building to fine finishing.

The paint section is extensive, with bulk displays of large blue Dulux "Weatherguard" tubs and smaller cans of wood treatments.

30

Essential equipment includes the power tools section, featuring drills, saws, and sanders displayed alongside safety gear like colourful hard hats and safety footwear, while smaller machinery like the bright blue lawnmower sits on dedicated shelving.

Basic essentials are organized neatly, from shovels and spades to fuel containers like the yellow, red, and green jerry cans, and large yellow rolls of robes and wires.

Furthermore, the store prominently displays modern solutions like solar water heating systems (Solara and Eco Solar) and features practical utility items such as green wheelbarrows and various colours of corrugated iron sheeting near the entrance.

31

The Kwekwe branch is designed to serve every segment of the building community—from homeowners to large-scale industrial players. The store is committed to introducing premium and specialized offerings previously difficult to find locally, including custom trusses manufactured to plan and high-quality safety footwear.

Specific support or loyalty programs are being rolled out for local contractors and builders in Kwekwe to foster long-term partnerships.

“Our True Blue Loyalty Program is active in Kwekwe, rewarding customers for their continued trust and support.

Members enjoy tiered discounts, early alerts to promotions and specials, and direct WhatsApp communication with our team for tailored offers relevant to their projects.

It’s all part of building long-term, mutually rewarding relationships with the region’s builders, residents and tradespeople,” said Jerome Cambell, General Manager.

Sustainability is built into the foundation of the new branch.

This has seen the Kwekwe store operating with a 24kVA solar system, significantly reducing reliance on the national grid and ensuring a more energy-efficient, environmentally responsible operation.
