1st of all those two are fully fledged property companies listed on the Zimbabwe Stock Exchange. There are two others on the ZSE called Mashonaland Holdings & Zimre Property Investment. These companies make their living by; 1. Deriving rent from their property portfolio which includes Office, Retail (supermarkets/malls), Industrial (warehouses) & Residential. 2ndly, they have land banks (un-developed land) which they use as trading stock (selling plots, building for sale/rent) 3.some of them also invest in the stock exchange. My personal favorites/choices are Pearl & ZPI because their portfolio mix holds more Retail properties and future plans are more inclined toward Retail. ZPI has the least lettable space of the four but has a sizeable land bank of approx 1.07 million Sq.M. As @VVS posted once "..since I have no time for wet dreams" if u r interested on how to get onto the ZSE and own the shares of any of the aforementioned property companies...let me know.
