Price at PKR 8 Crore: What the Numbers Say
The asking price is PKR 80,000,000 for a 2,000 sq. ft. unit. That works out to PKR 40,000 per square foot. Civil Lines commands a premium over most Karachi corridors because of its security profile, central location, and low supply of new residential stock.
For context, a comparable 3-bedroom unit in Zamzam Towers is also listed at PKR 75,000,000 for the same 2,000 sq. ft. footprint. This unit is priced at a modest premium, which reflects floor level and view orientation.

Title Status: Leased, SBCA-Approved, Transfer-Ready
Zamzam Towers is an SBCA-approved project (Licence No. BL-3015). The land is on a leased title — individual leases are available with mutation (intiqal) and transfer possible. Mutation, or intiqal, is the official ownership update in government records after a sale.
This is a straightforward transfer. There are no society NOC complications typical of gated communities like DHA or Bahria. The buyer works directly through the Karachi land records system.
Documentation checklist for buyers to verify:
SBCA approval certificate — Licence No. BL-3015 on record
Individual lease deed — confirm it is in the seller’s name
Mutation/intiqal record — confirm no pending encumbrances
Stamp duty: typically 1–3% in Sindh, payable at transfer
Withholding tax: rates differ for tax filers vs. non-filers — confirm current FBR schedule
Capital Gains Tax (CGT): 15% if sold within 1 year; 0% after 4 years of ownership
Civil Lines as a Long-Term Property Investment
Civil Lines has a constrained supply of new residential land. No large-scale development is possible in this heritage zone. That limited supply, combined with strong demand from professionals and diplomats, supports steady price growth over time.
Buyers who hold this asset beyond 4 years pay zero Capital Gains Tax on any profit — a meaningful financial benefit for long-term investors. Rental demand in Civil Lines is consistent. The high-security profile and central location attract corporate tenants, expats, and government-linked professionals.
Investment case summary:
Limited new supply: Civil Lines heritage zoning restricts future development
Consistent rental demand: proximity to consulates and government offices drives tenancy
CGT benefit: zero tax on gains after 4 years of holding
VIP grid power supply: adds tangible lifestyle value vs. other city zones
Proven resale corridor: Civil Lines has an established track record for price stability
