WestProp Pomona City Flats

01

Overview

The WestProp Pomona City Flats form part of the landmark US$4 billion Pomona City Smart City initiative, representing Harare North’s first high-rise residential enclave. The development comprises 22 blocks of flats, each accommodating 16 residential units, resulting in a total of 352 apartment units, supported by a centrally located clubhouse and shared amenities. The project is designed around a 15-minute city model, blending smart infrastructure, lifestyle convenience, and environmental integration through robust civil and structural engineering solutions.

The challenge

Coordinating full civil infrastructure within a high-density residential layout

  • Designing efficient structural systems suitable for multi-storey residential blocks
  • Ensuring adequate water supply, sewer reticulation, and stormwater management for a large residential population
  • Delivering value-driven engineering solutions while maintaining compliance with statutory and engineering standards

03

UIP’s contribution

Our approach combined integrated civil and structural engineering coordination with early-stage value engineering to support the scale, density, and long-term performance requirements of a high-rise residential environment. Close collaboration with the client and project team allowed infrastructure and structural systems to be developed in alignment with the broader Pomona City smart city framework.

Engineering solution

Structural engineering design for multi-storey residential blocks, optimized for load efficiency, constructability, and long-term durability

  • Value-engineered structural systems to balance performance requirements with cost control
  • Civil engineering design for water supply and reticulation, sewer reticulation, internal access roads, and stormwater drainage across the development
  • Designed and coordinated water supply and sewer reticulation systems to support sanitation, hygiene, and fire response requirements
  • Integrated stormwater management solutions to control runoff, protect downstream infrastructure, and support sustainable site drainage
  • Infrastructure layouts coordinated to enable phased construction and future smart-city service integration

05

Outcomes

A fully serviced, high-density residential precinct supporting the Pomona City smart city vision

  • Efficient and resilient civil infrastructure designed to accommodate long-term population demand
