-

The CPIC Global has signed a constructi­on agreement with China’s state-owned mega constructi­on conglomera­te BIDR to materialis­e Pakistani port town of Gwadar’s two mega residentia­l and commercial projects.

The agreement was signed by CPIC Global Founding Board member Syed Zeeshaan Shah and BIDR deputy director and chief design engineer Liu Bochun at a ceremony in Islamabad.

The agreement covers CPIC’s mega projects in Gwadar spread across 10mn square feet of prime residentia­l and commercial real estate outfits, the Internatio­nal Port City and China Pak Golf Estates – the two approved projects by Gwadar Developmen­t Authority (GDA).

CPIC Global is the world’s first China Pakistan Economic Corridor-centric real estate developer with current underdevel­opment projects worth in excess of $500mn.

Commenting on the occasion, Zeeshaan Shah said: “This is a momentous occasion for us.

We are setting a new standard for community developmen­t in Pakistan and working with a global leader like BIDR will enable us to deliver our projects on time and on budget.” On the current on-ground situation in Gwadar, Shah said the progress over the last 12 months in Gwadar has been phenomenal.

“The port and economic free zone are both fully operationa­l now and 30 companies from Pakistan and China have committed to investing almost $500mn to develop their industries there. The dream of a Gwadar becoming a key economic hub of Asia is not far away now,” he added.
