Harare — The commissioning of the $20 million Greenfields Showgrounds Retail Mall stands as a strong statement of Zimbabwe’s economic momentum, reflecting growing investment confidence and the continued expansion of the country’s retail sector under the Second Republic.
The facility was officially opened by His Excellency the President of the Republic of Zimbabwe, Emmerson Dambudzo Mnangagwa, marking another milestone in the country’s journey toward modernization, industrialisation and inclusive economic growth.
Developed through a strategic partnership between Tigere Property Fund and the Zimbabwe Agricultural Society, the mall represents the successful transformation of a historic national asset into a vibrant commercial hub. The project reflects the effectiveness of collaborative investment models in unlocking value and driving development across key sectors of the economy.
The state-of-the-art facility offers a modern retail experience, featuring grocery outlets, financial services, food courts and recreational spaces, creating a dynamic environment that enhances convenience and lifestyle for consumers while supporting business growth.
Speaking at the commissioning, His Excellency the President of the Republic of Zimbabwe, Emmerson Dambudzo Mnangagwa, emphasized the importance of such developments in advancing the country’s economic vision, noting that the project is a clear demonstration of tangible progress in infrastructure development and investment attraction.
The mall is expected to play a key role in strengthening the retail sector, which continues to be a significant contributor to Zimbabwe’s Gross Domestic Product. By providing a platform for both established and emerging businesses, the development is set to stimulate commercial activity, expand market access and promote entrepreneurship.
A strong focus on local production further positions the mall as a catalyst for domestic industry. By encouraging the availability of locally produced goods, the facility supports Zimbabwe’s broader agenda of value addition, job creation and economic self-sufficiency.
The use of Zimbabwe Gold (ZiG) within the mall environment also reinforces confidence in the country’s evolving financial ecosystem, aligning with national efforts to promote stability and efficiency in transactions.
Beyond retail, the development contributes to employment creation and urban transformation, breathing new life into the showgrounds area and stimulating surrounding economic activity. It stands as a symbol of progress, reflecting a growing economy that is increasingly driven by infrastructure development, innovation and strategic partnerships.
With more projects already in the pipeline, the Greenfields Mall represents a forward-looking vision for Zimbabwe’s economic landscape, where investment, local enterprise and modern infrastructure come together to build a prosperous and dynamic future in line with Vision 2030.
