The Landmark Building

The landmark building will sit in Karachi Port as one of the anchor schemes of attempts by the owners, the Karachi Port Trust, to construct a landmark commercial building that can act as a central anchor for future urban development.Within will be 102,000 square metres of office space taking up almost 60 of the bottom floors of the 81 floor tower. The top 21 storeys will be a new five star hotel that includes 30 serviced apartments and swimming pool.With their design Aedas have played on that increasingly modern skyscraper cliché of a torqueing tower. The Karachi Port Tower is effectively helical in shape but the use of difference façade treatments ranging from totally smooth skinned to horizontal rings every few floors marking the progression in height. Smooth glass curls around the building terminating in a pointed semi-transparent façade overrun at the top pushing the height over 300 metres tall.The sharp-eyed will notice that in addition to the main tower there is a staggered and substantially smaller building of a similar design included that also has glazed skin and a similar curving shape.This will accommodate a further 280 serviced apartments, 70 bog-standard ones and a 10,000 square metre shopping mall at ground level. In addition there will be parking for 2500 cars and conference facilities for 1200 delegates.Other firms involved in the massive project are Mott Macdonald and MM Pakistan who will all be teaming up to get work on site underway for April 2007, a very quick lead-in time for a decision announced only a matter of weeks before.

Quick House Sale

A quick house sale is not easy even when there is a bouyant property market, in times of slow-down, or worse still when prices are falling, achieving a quick sale is almost impossible.
So what do you do when the property market slows down and it gets very difficult to sell a house or other property? If its a situation where you are looking to sell and move somewhere else not far away then it may be something you can wait out for the market to change. But there are many cases where people really do need a quick house sale. These situations can occur where (sadly) people are divorcing and need to sell their house or fault to free up equity so they can buy new separate homes, it may be that someone is relocating for a new job, or maybe emigrating oversees. In other cases it may be due to a long property chain where everyone is waiting on one buyer. If you want a really quick house sale then try RepayMortgage.co.uk, they provide a range of services for quick house sales.
Whatever the reason there are ways of achieving a quick house sale. There are now companies that specialise in providing this service. These companies will usually buy the property, house or flat at a discount to the actual market value and then hold on to the property until it can be sold at a later date. In effect they are taking on the risk of any downturn in property prices, finance interest costs, and the buy and sell costs. This can be a great option for people looking to fee up their equity or break that never ending property chain.

Singapore Authority (PSA).

KARACHI (February 02 2009): Viability of the $250 million Gwadar Port project is in hot water, as the Ministry of Defence (MoD) has refused to transfer 584-acre "defence land" to Gwadar Port Authority (GPA) for establishment of the long-awaited Free Zone. Further, MoD has also turned down a request from the ministry of ports and shipping for a free-of-cost transfer of the said land to GPA, which as per Concession Agreement would hand over it to Port of Singapore Authority (PSA).
It must be recalled that under Concession Agreement the Government of Pakistan (GoP) was required to hand over 923 hectares (2281 acres) land to PSA, the concessionaire and operator of Gwadar deep sea port, by June 2008 on lease basis for developing a Free Zone at East Bay of Gwadar. According to well-placed sources, MoD commenting on a summary moved by the Ministry of Ports and Shipping to Prime Minister for allowing transfer of the said land to GPA, had cited "technical, strategic and geographical" reasons for its refusal.
They said the MoD had contended that as per Defence Land (Acquisition Custody and Relinquishment) Rules 1944 the land could not be transferred on gratis basis, as requested by the ministry of ports and shipping, to an "autonomous" body like GPA.
The defence ministry, the sources said, had also backed last year’s PN’s demand for the payment of Rs 7008 million (Rs 1200 million per acre) for the land in question.
In the support of its argument, the ministry said that the said land was transferred by the Government of Balochistan to PN in 1980 on ownership basis, they said.
However, showing generosity MoD had linked a free-of-cost transfer of the disputed land to Prime Minister’s approval in favour of ministry of ports and shipping, said the sources.
They said recently MoD had taken a "new stance" on the lingering issue and had said that out of 584 acres land, which is at present in possession of the naval forces, only 30 acres could be made available for the development of road-rail-link leading to the Free Zone at Gwadar Port.
They said according to MoD the remaining 554 acres land was "essentially required by Pakistan Navy from technical, strategical and geographical point of view".
According to sources the ministry of ports and shipping, where change of faces was rampant and had become almost a permanent phenomenon, may be in a difficult situation, as it had to convince the Prime Minister who had okayed recommendations of MoD on the fate of Free Zone land.
It may be recalled that former President (Musharraf) and Prime Minister (Shaukat Aziz) on February 2, 2007 had also directed hand over of the 584 acres land to GPA for the said purpose as soon as possible.

Real Estate Karachi Pakistan - Property in Karachi
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
PRLog (Press Release) – Aug 04, 2008 – 2. Real Estate Karachi Written By: www.thyrealestate.com Karachi is the largest city in South East Asia - only slightly smaller than the entire one of the Asian Countries like Burma, Nepal, and Thailand according to the CIA World Factbook. By virtue of its size, Karachi offers a wide variety of investment opportunities; from cities such as the modern, urban and the beach resort city of Karachi to vast areas of farmland and timberland, there are opportunities for large and small investors alike. Although Karachi still struggles with social problems such as income inequality and poverty, the country's outlook remains positive, as indicated by the country's impressive economic strides during the past few years. The growing success of its economy is reflected in the government's efforts to attract foreign investment, especially in development of the Northeast coastal areas of Karachi.
