The Real Estate Institute of Zimbabwe (REIZ) is preparing to host its most significant event of the year, the REIZ Annual Dinner, scheduled for Friday, November 28, 2025. This year’s gala is a dual celebration, marking the closure of the business year and commemorating the Institute’s landmark 80th Anniversary under the theme: “80 Years of Excellence! Securing The Future.”
The prestigious event will take place at The Venue, Avondale, running from 1800hrs to 2100hrs. It is expected to draw a distinguished gathering of real estate professionals, property developers, key government officials, financial sector executives, and major stakeholders who collectively shape Zimbabwe’s dynamic property market.
For eight decades, REIZ has served as the custodian of professional standards, ethics, and education within the Zimbabwean real estate industry. The anniversary celebration is not merely a look back at past achievements but a pivotal moment to collectively chart the course for the next era of growth and stability in the sector.
“This is a moment of profound pride for every professional associated with the built environment,” said a spokesperson for REIZ. “Eighty years is a testament to the resilience, adaptability, and unwavering commitment of our members to excellence. This dinner is our opportunity to honor that legacy while focusing squarely on the future—specifically, how we can leverage technology, sustainable development, and policy advocacy to secure a robust, transparent, and globally competitive real estate market for generations to come.”
The gala will feature a program designed to inspire and facilitate high-level networking. Attendees can anticipate a keynote address from a prominent figure on the future of African property markets, the presentation of annual industry awards recognizing outstanding contributions, and an atmosphere conducive to forging strategic partnerships.
The theme, “Securing The Future,” underscores REIZ’s commitment to addressing contemporary challenges such as housing deficits, urbanization pressures, and the need for stricter regulatory compliance. Institute leaders are expected to highlight initiatives focused on youth empowerment, professional mentorship, and the adoption of digital platforms to streamline property transactions and management.
The event serves as the premier opportunity for the real estate community to toast to a year of achievements and to solidify their collective ambition to ensure that the property sector remains a cornerstone of Zimbabwe’s economic development. Industry players are urged to secure their attendance early for this historic evening.
