Econet InfraCo has reported robust pre launch demand for its major real estate ventures, the $1 billion Econet TechCity in Harare and the Victoria Falls Lifestyle Villas, ahead of their scheduled commissioning later this quarter.
The details were highlighted in the infrastructure firm’s maiden quarterly update for the period ending May 31, 2026, following its corporate unbundling from Econet Wireless Zimbabwe earlier in the year.
According to the group, prospective commercial tenants and institutional buyers across multiple sectors have already submitted formal inquiries.
“The company has already received expressions of interest from various sectors for both projects, indicating strong market uptake once the different units become available,” the company said in its trading update.
The real estate division forms PropertyCo, one of three core pillars within Econet InfraCo alongside TowerCo and PowerCo. Alongside preparations for the commissioning of both megaprojects, PropertyCo maintained steady revenue streams from its existing rental portfolio during the three months under review.
Sprawled over an 800-acre site adjacent to the Robert Gabriel Mugabe International Airport, Econet TechCity is structured as a multi-use commercial, technology, and residential ecosystem.
The Tech City aims to offer a self-sustaining environment with advanced infrastructure and services for international investors.
The project is expected to host around 300 businesses, create over 20,000 jobs, and boost industrialization in Zimbabwe
To ensure uninterrupted, clean power for the hub, the company has kicked off Phase One of an accompanying 100MW solar farm.
Meanwhile, the 40-hectare Victoria Falls site incorporates 40 high-end residential villas, a 10-bed private medical center, sports facilities, and a clubhouse.
Beyond real estate, the company expanded its telecommunications and clean energy footprint. Econet InfraCo erected 90 new base station sites over the quarter to manage surging connectivity demands, while accelerating solar installations across both new and existing infrastructure.
The firm also credited artificial intelligence for streamlining system operations during the period.
“We expanded the use of AI to improve predictive generator maintenance, optimise fuel utilisation, and enhance infrastructure reliability,” the company noted.
“The phased rollout of our AI Fuel Manager has reduced energy consumption whilst improving availability and uptime. Our AI-enabled Remote Monitoring System and tower Digital Twin initiatives have continued to advance, increasing our technology efficiency.”
Looking ahead, Econet InfraCo plans to maintain its growth trajectory by expanding its base station footprint, pushing forward renewable energy installations, and finalizing the delivery of its flagship real estate projects.
