Sam Levy's Village

Sam Levy's Village is an exclusive shopping and leisure center in the upscale suburb of Borrowdale in Harare. Designed and built in the 1990s by Zimbabwean businessman Sam Levy, the center is architecturally modeled after an old English village. With its brick facades, cobblestone paths, and pleasant shopfronts, it features a unique atmosphere that stands out clearly from modern glass shopping malls. It houses a variety of international luxury brands, local boutiques, top-tier restaurants and cafes, and a modern cinema complex. The 'Village' is not only a place for shopping but also a major social meeting point for Harare residents and visitors. It is particularly known for its striking clock tower architecture and meticulously designed landscape that invites strolling. Despite the name 'Village', it is an ultramodern commercial complex with comprehensive services, including banks and supermarkets. Sam Levy's Village remains a symbol of entrepreneurial success and urban lifestyle in Zimbabwe.
