The five start hotel in contract with The Hilton is yet to be started after the piling work. Project is certainly the main attraction for elite of Pakistan living at home or overseas. The clientele comprises of celebrity stars, business community and well known personalities of Pakistan. Project seems to be a great success as most of the residential parts have already been booked and sold out. The method adapted for booking the properties is very much familiar to the method adapted by Emaar Properties in Pakistan, which is to appoint some exclusive agents as the authorized real estate sales consultants for selling the properties. These projects have become the identity of Pakistan and are bringing the foreign direct investment in Pakistan. These success stories are the benchmark for other real estate developers who are considering to start their operations in Pakistan but are having the reservations regarding the security situation. But if we talk about business, debt-crisis is even worse than terrorism. So in terms of investing in real estate, Pakistan seems to be more lucrative than US, Europe and GCC, who are currently facing worse situation in shape of their financial crisis, which has not affected Pakistan a bit.
