The company remains focussed on its strategic priorities which include portfolio diversification and portfolio optimisation to sustain overall business performance.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The remarks come when the property market remained susceptible to low demand for space, particularly in Harare\u2019s central business district office sector due to low economic activity.<\/p>\n<p>The market has, however, recorded improvements in occupancies for the retail sector as the economy mirrors its retail concentration during the period.<\/p>\n<p>The industrial sector remained resilient with average yields of 8% across the market as well as occupancies above 90%.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOn the supply side of the property market, the dominant sector has been the residential sub-sector, which continues to attract new development activity due to the high demand for residential space and also the low risk given the sizes of residential units,\u201d Madhaka said.<\/p>\n<p>During the review period, revenue increased by 37% compared to the same period last year, driven by periodic rent reviews which the business has been performing in line with market practice.<\/p>\n<p>The improved revenue performance was also driven by new leases concluded with occupancy levels have increased by 2% from 79, 2% to 80, 6%.<\/p>\n<p>Operating profit increased by 18% due to the revenue growth, but decreased by 14% following an increase in total operating expenses.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIncrease in operating expenses was driven by movement in unofficial market exchange rates, which had a bearing on the Zimbabwe dollar value of maintenance materials and services consumed by the company,\u201d Madhaka added.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/zimbabwe\">Zimbabwe<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Zimbabwe.
