HARARE’S skyline is set to welcome a revolutionary architectural marvel as Cyber City, an ambitious project spearheaded by Prevail Group International in partnership with Dubai’s Mulk International, begins to take shape.
This multi-million-dollar development promises to redefine urban living in Zimbabwe and place Harare firmly on the global map as a hub of luxury and innovation.
Speaking during a media tour of the construction site, Paul Tungwarara, Chairman of Prevail Group International, expressed his excitement and optimism about the project’s potential to transform Harare into a world-class destination.
“We are bringing Dubai’s grandeur to Zimbabwe,” he said, gesturing toward the bustling construction activities.
“Our vision for Cyber City is to create a dynamic space that combines luxury, innovation, and sustainability.
This project aligns perfectly with President Emmerson Mnangagwa’s Vision 2030 of transforming Zimbabwe into an upper-middle-income economy by 2030.”
The first phase of Cyber City focuses on 50 ultra-modern villas, which are slated for completion by March 2025.
These high-end residences are designed to offer residents a luxurious and futuristic living experience, with cutting-edge technology and bespoke architectural designs.
“These villas will set a new benchmark for luxury living in Zimbabwe,” Dr. Tungwarara revealed.
“We are committed to delivering unparalleled quality and style, making this a community that embodies the aspirations of Vision 2030.”
The villas are just the beginning. Once completed, the project will expand to include duty-free malls, providing a shopping experience unlike any other in the country.
“The duty-free malls will offer residents and visitors a taste of international retail, blending global brands with local craftsmanship,” Dr. Tungwarara explained.
A standout feature of Cyber City will be its majestic tower, designed to dominate the Harare skyline as a symbol of progress and modernity.
Alongside this architectural gem will be an enchanting display of dancing waters, reminiscent of Dubai’s famed fountains.
These elements aim to create a vibrant, cosmopolitan atmosphere that will attract both locals and international tourists.
“Our tower and dancing waters are not just about aesthetics; they’re about creating a unique identity for Cyber City,” Dr. Tungwarara remarked.
“We want people to feel the pulse of innovation and luxury when they visit here. This is a celebration of Zimbabwe’s potential and a step toward achieving the national vision.”
Beyond the stunning visuals and luxurious amenities, Cyber City is expected to have a significant economic impact.
The project is creating hundreds of jobs during its construction phase and promises to be a hub for investment and tourism upon completion.
Additionally, it aims to integrate sustainable practices to ensure minimal environmental impact.
Dr. Tungwarara emphasised the broader vision of Cyber City:
“This is not just about buildings; it’s about building a future. We are creating a space where people can live, work, and play in harmony.
Cyber City represents a new chapter for Harare and Zimbabwe as a whole. It’s an integral part of our journey toward Vision 2030.”
Cyber City’s construction marks a pivotal moment in Zimbabwe’s urban development.
With its blend of luxury, technology, and cultural significance, the project embodies a bold vision for the country’s future.
As the villas near completion and plans for the malls, tower, and dancing waters unfold, anticipation is building for what promises to be a game-changer for Harare.
“We are confident that Cyber City will not only transform the landscape of Harare but also inspire other developments across Zimbabwe,” Dr. Tungwarara concluded.
“This is a legacy project, and we are proud to be part of shaping the future of our nation in line with Vision 2030.”
As the sun sets over the construction site, the vision of Cyber City becomes ever clearer: a shimmering beacon of progress and possibility, bringing a touch of Dubai to the heart of Africa.
