The Company is focused on the delivery and investment management of commercial, industrial, retail, specialised and residential properties.
ZBFH chairperson, Pamela Chiromo, said the company intends to support the business in developing its land banks as well as repurposing some properties in line with the real estate market trends to enhance Mash Holdings’ competitiveness. She said:
ZBFH also intends to regain control of the company and influence its strategic direction to unlock trapped value and in the process unleash the latent potential of its underwriting business.
