CONSTRUCTION of the US$145 million Hilton Hotel and office complex
along Samora Machel Avenue in Eastlea is set to begin in April next
year, Streamwalk Arcade director Mr Farai Jere said. Speaking at an
occasion where he was given the Hilton Harare Mixed Use development
Bankable Document, Mr Jere said the project was expected to finish in
late 2016.
"The five-star hotel will provide six star services. We came up with
the idea after realising that there was a need to improve our tourism
facilities in Harare and create a world class tourism centre," he said.
He said the project will consist of a retail component whose
construction is expected to cost US$7,6 million, an office component
US$38 million, the hotel, US$57 million, and basement parking US$11
million among other costs.
Speaking at the same occasion outgoing Local Government, Rural and
Urban Development Minister Dr Ignatius Chombo said the country was
running out of five-star hotels and commended Mr Jere and his partners
for coming up with the project.
