Burj Quaid EOI Is Now Open: Your Chance to Reserve a Unit in Pakistan’s Tallest Tower
ABS Developers and DHA City Karachi have officially opened the Expression of Interest (EOI) window for Burj Quaid, the 941-foot skyscraper set to become Pakistan’s tallest building. Marketed as “A Tower of Glory, A Tribute to Quaid,” the project sits at the 18-lane grand main entrance of DHA City Karachi, with a dedicated four-lane road built specifically for the Burj Quaid complex. For anyone tracking Karachi’s skyline ambitions, this EOI phase marks the first real, actionable step toward owning a piece of it.
What the EOI Actually Means
An Expression of Interest is not a booking — it’s a refundable, priority-reservation deposit. According to the official EOI documentation, the amount paid is 100% adjustable against the down payment of your selected unit once you proceed to formal booking. If you choose not to move forward, ABS Developers states the amount will be refunded within 15 working days of a refund request submitted via email. Submitting the form doesn’t guarantee unit allocation either — it simply places you in the queue and signals genuine intent, which matters in a launch this high-profile.
EOI Pricing by Category
The published rate card (valid till 31st July 2026) breaks down as follows:
- 1-Bed Apartment — PKR 1,000,000
- 2-Bed Apartment — PKR 2,000,000
- Office (300 sq.ft) — PKR 1,000,000
- Office (500 sq.ft) — PKR 2,000,000
- Company-Owned Mall — Not for sale
Interestingly, the EOI form itself lists a slightly different, more granular structure including 3-bed apartments and mall outlet categories (ground/1st floor and 2nd/3rd floor) with their own EOI amounts along with fields for preferred floor (lower, middle, or higher). This suggests final unit-level pricing and floor allocation will be refined as booking approaches.
Why Burj Quaid Is Getting Attention
At 82 storeys and 941 feet, Burj Quaid has received height approval and is positioned as the anchor project of DHA City Karachi a master-planned “sustainable and smart city” on the outskirts of Karachi. The preliminary elevation shows a twin-tower design connected by sky bridges, sitting atop a substantial retail podium, though the design is still officially under review.
Beyond the tower itself, the surrounding DHA City infrastructure is a major part of the pitch: a 22-lane main entrance, 10-lane internal roads, a dedicated M9 link road, two dedicated interchanges, and its own stretch of the Malir Expressway. Once the expressway is complete, ABS Developers projects roughly a 45-minute commute from Clifton, the airport, Shahra-e-Faisal, and Sea View. Nearby landmarks cited include Shaukat Khanum Memorial Cancer Hospital, Dow Medical Hospital, DHA Suffa University, DHA School, and Roots Millennium School alongside recreational additions like an adventure park, water park, go-karting, a Toyota racing track, a zip line, and The Fairwinds, billed as Asia’s largest golf course and endorsed by Sir Nick Faldo.
The Developer Behind the Project
Burj Quaid is developed by ABS Developers (Pvt.) Ltd., which brands itself as the world’s first Shariah-compliant real estate company. Founded in 2014 under CEO Dr. Subayyal Ikram, the firm points to a growing portfolio as evidence of delivery capability including the completed Pearl One Tower (2023) and the possession-ready ABS Mall & Residency (Tower 1), alongside several projects under construction: Pearl One Courtyard (Towers 1–3), Pearl One Premium, Pearl One Capital, ABS Central, Pearl One Royal, Sialkot Central, and ABS Executive. The company’s Shariah-compliance pitch centers on riba-free (interest-free) transactions, transparency in contracts, and avoidance of gharar (excessive uncertainty).

How to Submit an EOI
The EOI form requires standard personal details (CNIC/NICOP, contact information, mailing address), your property preference and floor preference, and payment through ABS Developers’ official bank account only the documentation explicitly warns that the company will not be responsible for cash payments or payments made to unauthorized individuals. Payments should go to the “ABS Quaid Towers Pvt. Ltd. – Burj Quaid” account at United Bank Limited.
If Burj Quaid delivers on its stated timeline and design, it would meaningfully reshape Karachi’s skyline and DHA City’s profile as an investment destination. For now, the EOI stage is the entry point a refundable, low-commitment way to get in line before the tower’s booking phase formally opens. As with any pre-launch real estate offering, it’s worth verifying current terms, NOC status, and payment account details directly with ABS Developers before transferring any funds.
