20-storey Pace Tower in Gulberg

Staff Report

LAHORE: Pace Pakistan Pvt Ltd (PPPL) will start building a 20-storey building, Pace Tower, in Gulberg III by the start of next year at a total cost of Rs 600 million, Moeed Rehman, the PPPL chief operating officer, told a press conference on Monday.

Mr Rehman said the building would be the tallest ever building in the city and it would be completed within 30 months. He said the PPPL had signed a contract with Raees Fahim Associates for the construction of the Pace Tower.

The 20-storey building will have state-of-the-art facilities and comforts with five floors for offices and 104 luxurious apartments, including eight penthouses and two and three-bedroom luxury apartments, on 15 floors.

Mr Rahman said temperature-controlled covered swimming pool, Jacuzzi health club, business centre and a spacious area for parties on the 8th floor would be available in the tower. Pace Tower will also have vast parking space in its four basements. Buyers will be handed over their respective property within the stipulated period, Mr Rehman said.

Mian Raeesuddin of the Raees Fahim Associates said the building would be equipped with emergency and rescue services. Besides a water tank of 100,000 gallons, another 30,000-gallon spare water tank will be built on the top of the building, Mr Din said, adding fire equipment like smoke detectors would be installed throughout the building. He claimed the building would be the most modern in the city.

model looks quite ugly, but trust me it will look really good in real life.

so this is the sixth pace. 1 is made, 1 is under construction on mm alam road and 4 are planned.

The tower looks beautiful man !! I really hope these guys launch a site, so we can get a good look at the tower..

He claimed the building would be the most modern in the city.

Not once PC is completed.. :)

WAIT!

THIS CANT BE HAPPENING!

PACE is already in Liberty area why did they build it that close?

Because the existing PACE is a shopping mall and this is going to be a residential tower with some offices.

Hey r u sure that its a 20 storey coz i read in a newspaper that a 23 storey building will be built on MB Gulberg but no further details were given, if Pace is going to be a 20 then that means 2 GOOD HIGHRISES FOR GULBERG :D

i think there will be more then 2.

That's a nice design!

Pakboy said, it looks better in rendering that he saw..

Where did you see the rendering?

i think there will be more then 2.

Yeah there are going to be dozens more but at the moment we only know about 2 approved and 20 and 23 stories will be a nice addition to MB Gulberg as 10-14 storey buildings are becoming common.

Add this...

construction was delayed on this but will start soon, location is next to mini market.

^ Where exactly on mini market? One Pace is being built on M.M. Alam Rd., that too is almost next to mini market...

so this is the sixth pace. 1 is made, 1 is under construction on mm alam road and 4 are planned.

2 have been constructed (Main Blvd. & Model Town Link Rd.)
1 - Under construction
3 - unknown: never heard anything about them

^ Where exactly on mini market? One Pace is being built on M.M. Alam Rd., that too is almost next to mini market...


its near a banks office. i forgot the name of the bank, it was abm ambro or union bank office. mm alam road pace will be just a mall.

If only the color of the building could be changed..

wats wrong with the colour, it makes it look better.

If only the color of the building could be changed..
I am guessing you dont like the 80's Miami look?

http://www.gigroup.net/images/pace/location.gif

where is this projected situated

Its behind Siddique Trade Centre.

I am guessing you dont like the 80's Miami look?

Frankly, Lahore is no Miami. Architecture should be suited to its location.

AMAZING I THINK YOU PAKISTANI'S FORUMERS ARE DOING A GREAT JOB.

Frankly, Lahore is no Miami. Architecture should be suited to its location.

I think the facade should have more glass. Its in a place where many highrises are coming up, almost all of them have glass & steel facades.

Its being build behind this building.
http://photos23.flickr.com/26133382_c7f58a57c5_o.jpg

Its construction was started a month ago.

not really behind it, but the road behind it.

Well, if the colors are toned down and the yellow is removed, it might look a lot more dignified.

Personally, i do like the design...it is nice and different.....not the usual glass stuff.

nice projects coming in gulberg

they shold built it on main boulevered.A large number of highrises coming on main boulevered.

14 storey siddiq trade centre,12 storey city towers, 15 storey office tower,16 storey eden heights,7 storey altaf centre,6 storey lahore centre, has completed
17 storey big city tower,11 storey ashrafi heights,10 storey hassan tower(main market),12 storey mega tower ,8 storey rabi centre are nearly completion and going to strart in two or three months.
23 storey bouleverd heights,10 storey aashiana shopping mall,15 storey (electronics)centre,15 storey ahad tower on kalma chowk,15 storey target trade centre on jail road are under construction.

well hasan tower is behind pace not in main market, ashrafi heights is in main market.

and wen does aashiana center, ahad tower, target trade center and jeff heights complete

not really behind it, but the road behind it.

Moving on to a more specific level, it will be built on the side of the road behind Siddique Trade Center, tower construction on roads is not allowed. :D

well hasan tower is behind pace not in main market, ashrafi heights is in main market.

and wen does aashiana center, ahad tower, target trade center and jeff heights complete

Hassan tower is near completion, structure of ashrafi heights is complete, Aashiana centre has 2-3 floors constructed, ahad tower is going really slowwwwwwww, and jeff heights has 3 floors up.

tagga can you get pictures,

..

well i heard ahed tower has a problem with the gov.

btw wat about gulberg arcade, makka tower, liberty trade center, big city mall, mega tower, rahman tower, sarrc tower and target trade center

well i heard ahed tower has a problem with the gov.

btw wat about gulberg arcade, makka tower, liberty trade center, big city mall, mega tower, rahman tower, sarrc tower and target trade center

Ive heard the opposite, ive heard that AHAD Tower is by a MNA thats why no action is being taken and they are using the road as a storage place for materials.

Gulberg arcade is going fine its structure is complete, I dont know where Makka Tower is, no clue about Liberty trade centre either (There are many un-named construction sites in Gulberg), Big City's structure is complete and there was a tender notice in last Sunday's "THE NEWS" that invited application for ARTIC BLUE glass for Big City Mall (The glass in original design was black). Rahman tower (the liberty one? if im right then it) is complete.

so do you know wat is happening with ahad tower, are they gona finish it or just leave it.

and when is big city mall schdruled to open and no rahman tower is in main market.

also were is gulberg arcade located and wat about target trade center on jail road, mega tower on main boulevard next to mcdonalds and sarrc tower on davis road.

Nope Ihave no Idea about Ahad Tower (Construction is going on but its going really slow, also they are taking care of other things like drain pipes and stuff like that but not a single floor has been added for the last few months, Kalma Chowk Structure might be the problem because any thing that goes above the kalma=Very angry molvis, the same thing happened to flyover plan for Kalma chowk).

I have no Idea about the opening date of Big City Mall but considering that they are not advertising in news paper it might take a couple of months.

Gulberg arcade is on a road that is linked with the Main Market Round-about, behind Main Boulevard.

I havent been to the Target Trade centre site of Jail Road for a long time.

Mega Tower is getting interior fittings but no sign of glass, no clue about Sarcc tower

ok, but there is allready centry tower next to kalma chowk and its higer then it.

also do you know of any other shopping malls which we arnt aware of in lahore. i also heard about giga mall, do you know were that is.

the shopping malls in lahore are very crampy and have too many shops and very little space with narrow corridors, its time we should follow the interior of international malls like these

ok, but there is allready centry tower next to kalma chowk and its higer then it.

Century tower is only 5 storeys tall and Kalama chowk is still prominent, the reason could be anything.

Ive also heard about Giga Mall but havent heard any official news.

There are many new malls coming up. I know about the 8-storey "MEENA BAZAAR" in Liberty, 16 storey "Vogue Towers" on M.M.Alam (Designed by Nayyar Ali Dada), and another 12-storey "Liberty Shopping Mall" in Liberty (Designed by Khalid A. Rahman).

big city mall will open in six months.I asked them by mail last days.
Ashrfi towers is also near completion.its structure is completed only in six months.about one year ago there was no idea about tower.Same as another 10 storey tower named as rehman or hassan tower structure has completed.

Some towers in Lahore are constructed in very short time and some takes long time.
15 storey jeff heights is also started very fastly.only in few months they have completed 8 floors.

wat is the website for big city mall.

btw have there been any improvements made at liberty market, cos it was in the news last year that there would be improvements there.

big cit mall has no website.
email is:bigcityliberty@yahoo.com

http://www.lahorerealestate.com/ads/public/img-1124726033.jpg

This tower will be 25 storey.
22 floors above the ground and 3 underground.

construction structure of Target trade centre also reached at ground floor.8 floors of target centre will use for parking.

12 storey Liberty shopping mall will be a huge mall in pakistan.All 12 floors will use for shopping.That will not use for other activites like offices or appartments.

Yeah, they are claiming that it will be the Largest in Lahore. I think Big City Mall will be bigger (even if only 6 floors are used for shops).

well khalid A rahman has only 2 towers on his site for liberty, and they look no were near the biggest

It hasnt been updated for a long..long time.

well how many kanals would you guess the liberty shopping mall is on.


plus any update on business point on mm alam road.

well vogue towers arnt looking 16 storeys here

meena bazaar is also looking quite ugly

well how many kanals would you guess the liberty shopping mall is on.

Liberty Shopping has a very small covered area but all of its 12 floors are only for shops.

And yeah vogue towers doesnt look more than 12 storeys tall but you know builders here also count the basements. And it said 16-stories in the news paper.

when pace tower will complete. any information.I think after completion this will highrise tower of Lahore.
How can 8 floors of target trade centre use for parking.They will use upper floor or lower.

Another new 21 storey tower project will launch in two month near pace shopping mall at main boulevered.Main bouleved gulberg Lahore is becoming a hotspot for investors.

I dont know about the completetion date of PACE Towers but I do know that its being built by a Dubai based company (GIGA) so we can expect that it will be completed by the end of 2006, and yes its the tallest building in the U/C stage.

And that 8 Storey carpark has been listed by mistake, it will have only 3 parking floors (according to official website).

Also from where did you hear about that upcoming 21 storey.

There was a tower approved by LDA in March this year that is going to be 412ft tall on Main Boulevard (according to JANG) and LDA was also considering to build a new Highrise office on Main Boulevard (it currently has 10-storey LDA Plaza on Egerton Road).

well urban developers I.T tower has been approved, and it will be built behind pace on MB, it will be 20 storeys.

also according to techno architect, there are 50 story twin towers coming on MB is well, but its in some problems right now.

and pace towers is being made by worldcall group from lahore who make all pace's, never heard about this giga company.

Sry I got Pace Towers mixed up with another WorldCALL group project.

makro of Holland will build 30 super stores in Pakistan, the largest of them will be built on 100,000 sq.ft in Gulberg.

Giga is the developer for the Goldcrest project in Islamabad which is the largest ever project in pakistan. Developing 15 towers in Islamabad all together. For quality this will up amongst the best in Pakistan and also in Dubai infact.

well make it 40 storeys....lol..... :bash:
the twin towers are designed by Sohail Saeed & Assosiates who also designed the Al-Lateef & Al Hafeez buildings.....i wuz told due to financial reasons the project is delayed....

and as fer the I.T. TOWER.....when i wuz in lhr news came to me it wuz going to be 50 storeys and fer a time being lahores tallest building.....
even the bilboards put up by URBAN DEVELOPERS made the building look like 50....maybe they had a change in plan or smth....lol :eek2:

i fwd wut the architects and consultanting assosiates plan propose and develop....nothing my own

^Urban Developers have it listed on the website but the link isnt working. 20 storey (above ground, not with 4 basements) is still VERY good for Lahore.

20 storey isnt gud enough fer a large metro city like lahore.....but fer the time being they are appreciable.....in the next few years even 40-50 storeys will become ordinary to hearing n sight

Yeah I know 20 storey for a city the size of Lahore is nothing but it has to start somwhere because there are very few (<5) highrises in Lahore just because of those stupid height limits.

http://www.urbandevelopers.info/itTower/images/index_09.jpg

btw where and when did you see the banner of IT Tower. Its a very interesting project, I hope it has a design as high tech as the TechnoCity.

well in a press conference, the chairman of urban developers said they has purchased a 6 kanal plot behind pace on MB and would make a 20 story building called IT tower and it would be resedential and commercial.

Hmm.. so its not a TechnoCity type tower, the location is good (if its on Main Boulevard).

Twin Towers are also proposed for Mall road..

This is from January 05
Mr Khan said the BoP head office which was operating in a rented premises since the establishment of the bank in 1989, would have its own building in the near future. “We are planning to construct a twin-tower at the bank’s own land at Upper Mall during the current year,” he observed. He said the head office would be housed in one of the towers, while space in the other building would be rented out to generate funds.

^About 2 months back I saw a site on Mall road that had a board that said SITE FOR BOP HEAD OFFICE, may be the plans are final :D

^^^^^^^^^^^^^
any info on the height

wat is the website for big city mall.

btw have there been any improvements made at liberty market, cos it was in the news last year that there would be improvements there.


??????????????????????????

well how many kanals would you guess the liberty shopping mall is on.


plus any update on business point on mm alam road.



???????????????????

There is no info on height but the bank will have no problems from LDA (as there is no height limit of any sort on the Mall from chaining cross to mian mir bridge).

The road in front of Liberty has been widened, re-carpeted and lighted, also a green belt has been made,the traffic is much better now. PHA has also done a good job giving the place a face-lift.

I dont have any info on Business Point.

Lahore Stock Exchange Tower is also proposed but the final decision on the height (there were plans announced for a 12 storey building in 1998 but the building was never built now the chairman of LSE says that a 12 storey building would not be enough) will be taken after the formation of NSE (National Stck Exchange).

wat else was done to liberty, wat happened in the middle of liberty market, i heard they were adding something there, also did they fix up the broken footpaths in liberty market.

21 storey I.T tower will complete in three years.

What about multifcational centre Lahore.Those three towers looks like very crazy.what you think about their height.

How does this tower compare to the Goldcrest towers in DHA Islamabad. Pricing wise they seem very similar ?

Are they building more and more apartments in the major cities now. Before the trend use to be BIG villa's is that now slowly changing in pakistan also ?

I think they need mostly apartment towers in Karachi and islamabd because of reducing area they can not built bunglows or houses these cities.
In Lahore mostly housing projects are builting on the base of big bunglows.because they have option of land in lahore.but situation in lahore will change soon and they will built apartments towers in lahore.
Now towers are built in lahore mostly for commercial uses.Because of peace problems
in Karachi.Mostly companies are shifting their head office in Lahore.
Also because of good policis of punjab goverment industries and companies are prefer to investment in punjab then other areas of pakistan.

well, liberty shopping mall isnt looking bad, but space looks small.

21 storey I.T tower will complete in three years.

What about multifcational centre Lahore.Those three towers looks like very crazy.what you think about their height.

Well the design was crazy and proposed (for what I think is the project on Faletti Hotel site). I did some research and found out that designs by Oosterhuis ONL almost never make it 100% in the real thing, ONL is an innovational architect consultancy firm which introduce new trends (in Multifunctional Centre's case its the perforated steel facade) So we might see the perforated steel facade but not the design that is on Oosterhuis' website.

BTW that facade will look awsome on boxy buildings with slightly rounded edges.

As far as its comparison with DHAI Towers is concerned, its different, it gives a golf course view on one side and the skyline view (which at present does not exist) on the other, Goldcrest represents very modern life style but the interior fittings of PACE are very elegant and inspired from the architecture of Lahore.

Highrise living trend is new in Lahore and alien to most of the people, people here preffer large houses.

And yes LDA and punjab govt. have done a very good job, but I think Karachi has no peace problems, the thing that has made Lahore different (from an economic point of view) is Main Boulevard Gulberg, 5 years ago Gulberg was called a Suburb but now its turning into the city centre. Its cheaper, cleaner, the road is wider and its not very hard to find a plot on Main boulevard (>60% of the plots on Main Boulevard can be used for new building in the future because they are either single storey houses, which can be brought down very easily or the plots are completely empty).

Also LDA has decided that un-important builds on Mall (from Mian Mire bridge to chaining cross) will be demolished and all future office buildings will go in that area.

tagga, do you know when flatis hotel project is gona launch.

wat is really messing up lahore right now, is those big massive guest houses on mall road and in the mall, there are soo many of them for the politians and generals, and even parvaiz elahi has been given a massive house, bigger then 100 kanals on mall road. these should be demolished and plots should then be auctioned like flatiss, they can turn into big commercial projects.

That is being done but only to upper mall, the other parts of Mall road are just too historic to be auctioned, Faletti was auctioned becaused its relatively away from Mall Road and also its architecture was crappy. If Faletti had good architecture, it would never have been auctioned.

And I dont know when the project takes off, there is a chance that the plans have already been sent to LDA for approval. This project cannot be stopped as it is not on Mall Road (PC had a problem because, commercial buildings were banned on Mall road) There is no government building around it (PC had a problem with the privacy of Governer House) Also 4B Groups are sole owners of the land so no one can challange their plans (PC leased the land from govt.).

[QUOTE=Sania]I think they need mostly apartment towers in Karachi and islamabd because of reducing area they can not built bunglows or houses these cities.
QUOTE]

as fer islamabad.....helloo madam.....r u out of ur mind or smth? :bash: lol
i dont need to tell this but here it is.....u got so many housing schemes in islamabad dat u hardly would no all of their names wether it is in zone 1,2,3,4 or 5 . So how could u say that there is reducing space??
The thing is that for most scheme uptil now the files are being sold out n small developers develop their societies real slow .....dats y u dont find much of development taking place. construction of high rise apartments will do no good to ppl because the living cost in apartment is real high.....
try comparing the plot [price] given by HBFC & CDA to ppl and the same plot in market.....

Now towers are built in lahore mostly for commercial uses.Because of peace problems
in Karachi.Mostly companies are shifting their head office in Lahore.



And I disagree with you on the peace problems of Karachi aspect. Karachi and New York have the same crime ratings with similar population and city sizes. All this talk about Karachi being a haven of crime is blown up propaganda. There are bad ghetto neighbourhoods in Karachi as well as nice peaceful upscale neighbourhoods.

Karachi have peace problems.Because of terorism in karachi have destroyed the envirment of development and investment.
About two months ago people was feared because of terorism.Burnt of KFC,bomb blasts in mosques,embassys and other places.
thats why after india cricket team England cricket team also refused to play test match in Karachi.

ECB and BCCI not playing in Karachi has nothing to do with its present problems. Its just the past of Karachi, but its getting better.

Also I think Sania is right there is a shortage of land in Islamabad, Malik Riaz also pointed that out in an interview, there is very little space in Islamabad on which housing societies can be built (Around the capital territory, not the land between Islamabad and Pindi).

If there is shortage of land in islamabad doesnt this mean prices will go up and up as there wont be enough supply to meet demand.

what is the website of 12 storey mega tower.that is near completion.

Hi! I need some help.

I currently live in England and would like to purchase an apartment in Lahore. I am considering Pace Towers as I would like something centrally located. I am told Gulberg is a nice area but I would like to know your views. What are the advantages and disadvantages of Pace towers location? I do not know Lahore very well.

Does anyone have any photographs of the area or the road on which the towers will be built? It is very difficult to get much info on this project in England, just the basics. There is no information regarding the interiors. The price is very high about £54,000 for a two bedroom do you think this is reasonable?

Sania mentioned a new 21 story tower to be built near the pace shopping mall, is this a better location? I liked the photograph of Eden Heights block of apartments I think these are already built what do you all think of these.

I would be very grateful for any comments and advice, I do have family in Pakistan but they are all currently visiting England so they are not much use at the moment!

hope you can help!

yep you can buy in pace towers its a good buy, or go for boulevard heights (look at my avtar), thats a really nice tower is well, but expensive.

Pace Towers has facilities equal to Boulevard heights but its cheaper.

Boulevard Height is too expensive (located on Main Boulevard).

Eden Towers, Siddique trade centre, and city tower dont have many facilities but the are very expensive because of their location.

If you think PACE is too expensive you can go for apartments in Main Market Gulberg, there are many buildings U/C there, so prices will be low because of competition in the market.

PACE (Shopping Mall) and Hafiz centre area is very expensive and there are parking problems there, so IT Tower wouldnt be a good choice (If it has apartments).

i have googled boulevard heights but no info. do you have the developers name? which is the more prestigous area where pace is located or boulevard heights? thanks for your help, its really difficult trying to gather info from england. i will probably come over to lahore in a few weeks to look for myself, i just want to get an idea of whats available. in your opinion which is the best apartment tower in lahore?

Most pretigous location would be Boulevard Heights, but I think PACE Towers would be the best choice for an apartment in Lahore (It has the best facilities in reasonable price).

The websit of Boulevard Heights is WWW.BOULEVERD.COM but the site $ux not very informative.

Last saturday there was a huge traffic jam on main boulevered gulberg.from liberty market to shadman jail road was full of cars.mostly problem was on the entrance od pace shopping mall and liberty.half part of main boulevered was covered by car park on pace shopping mall.there was a lot number of cars which jams main boulevered.service roads was fulled of car park after that people parked there cars at main boulevered.first time i saw a huge number of cars in pakistan.

What about construction of Expo centre Lahore and Parco tower? Mostly lahore is ruling over the real state business to the extent of huge advertisements only. whenever I visited Lahore, there were only few projects under construction. Especially Expo and ring road and Bab-e-Pakistan have inaugrated more than 2 times.I will highly appreciate anybody from Lahore if he sends actual site n construction images. Allah bless that wonderful city!

With the drastic increase in population and individuals prefering more of their own transport the roads eventually shrink, causing urban congestion such as u mentioned. We need to provide an alternative mode of transportation like a undergraound or else rail system, which should be cheaper and covering all parts of city. This will help to promote ppl using less of their vehicles.....i dont no y doesnt r govt take references of big cities like london, tokyo, newyork etc.....projects dont come until we r into some deep shit....there is not much of a 'future planing' around here....we should think abt the demands n growth of the city in the next 10,20 n 50 years.....but our projects develop at snails pace therefore not coping with the urban sprawl.

Anywayz try this out lady.....ramadan is coming in a months times....visit once in a while the Multan Road juss half an hr be4 aftari .....make sure u do dat n scrap us bak ...
looking fwd to "Sania's Amazing Experinces"...lol

Pace in Gurjanwala
http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a381/Techno-Architect/Lahore%20New%20Buildings/AaFaT-Gujranwala.jpg

looks extremly tacky.

It looks like the Ziggurat of Ur

It looks tacky?

are you kidding me?

It looks great!

It looks like the tower of Babylon. Its a disgrace to it, actually. Hideous! Do they pay a five-yearold to select the color scheme? :gaah:

in what sense is it great, these buildings were made in europe in the 20's.


but the mall in gujranwalla looks great and excellent for a city like gujranwala, but i doubt there will be a barnes and nobles there

23 floors??

the tower is sooo ugly :bash:

The tower looks amazingly ugly. Esp, the color scheme. Light red, white, blue, and YELLOW ? :lol:

I bet if they pay some professional paint expert, he'd come up with a better color combo. This just looks like something made out of Lego.

I have no clue what Pace is trying to achieve with this old crappy design. :(

why dont they build glass/steel structures instead of these butt ugly concreate slabs.imagine an a modern downtown in the middle of lahore city with gleaming glass/steel highrises with lahore mosque and fort in the background .something like istanbul or paris

the rendering was very much better,

i can bet it was the retarted naya ali dada who designed this.

Techno-Archiect....................those pace tower model photos are very nice.

Anyone read Enid Blyton as a child? The tower reminds me of Noddy's house in Toyland.

Here's what I'm talking about...

http://www.argos.co.uk/wcsstore/argos/images/0470379SPA64UC213125X.jpg

Thank God this isnt on Main boulevard, its very ugly, Im sure that the colour scheme will be different in real life and that yellow part isnt bare concrete, its something like PACE Mall. The building is huge though.

Pace wins plot near Airport

LAHORE: Pace Pakistan Limited has been awarded the 5.08 acre Plot ‘A’ near Lahore Airport for its highest bid of Rs 1 billion.

The Ministry of Defence in collaboration with the Government of Pakistan had recently announced an auction of plots at prime locations near Lahore Airport, opposite the Rangers Headquarters. pr

Home | National

pace will construct a five star hotel,shopping complex and appartment towers there.

were did you find out from

the towers arent good but they arent ugly at the same time. the sad thing actually is that if the owners are spending billions of ruppes for its construction, why not a nice glass tower??

in many newspapers but this from daily times

Whats the status on this project ? Tagga ?

Pace is building a branch on GT Road, Gujranwala aswell.

say somethink new,

Cavity walls - the cavity space is usually kept between 1" n 3"

http://i49.photobucket.com/albums/f298/techno-architect2/Lahore%20UC/435.jpg

The cavity can be hollow or filled with some insulation material. If kept hollow it should not be a dead cavity meaning there should be constant air circulation within the inside of the cavity. Here the cavity is filled with Polyurethene material - the yellow one which is in liquid state n filled with a machine and later solidifies to form a foam.

Yaar Techno where is this cavity located?? I mean is it usually between rooms in a building? and what is the purpose of the polyurethane material?? Does it improve insulation.

that pace is looking tinyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

okay now answering ur question Red Arrow. The insulation material or cavity walls are always made within the external walls of the building. Y? cauz heat transfer into or out of the building is through external walls and the micro-climate inside the building needs to b protected from the extreme climate outside. We don’t need insulated or cavity wall in the internal walls / walls between rooms lounges or washroom caux that doesnot effect the internal temperature to greater extent.

The 1st pic u c shows two layers of concrete block; the outer one and the inner one. The thickness of each block is about 3" to 5". When concrete masonary is done, first the masons place the external walls. The external wall is built to a height of 3feet to 4feet. Then space is left between the external wall and internal wall of about 1" to 3". That is the standard spacing between two layers. The internal wall is then raised to the same height. Again the external wall is raised till the top depedin on the roof height. The inner wall is completed. Now juss before completing the last few inner layers, the cavity is filled with liquid insulation material. Im talkin about the case over here at Pace. This insulation material will improve the thermal resistance of the building hence preventing heat from penetrating easily in the summers. Now what other could be the purpose of insulation of using insulation here??. Burned clay brick are more thermal resistan meaning the time required for heat transfer from one side to another is more than that of concrete. This is because concrete is denser material so heat transfers throught the material much quicker. A cavity is provided to improve the thermal insulation of the membrane or wall. If you are not aware of the fact air has the lowest thermal conductivity. In technical language we call it 'K' value. I'll show the list below. Anyways if the cavity is dead meaning that there is no air cirulation in it, then it will loose it thermal conductivity property. In case you don’t want to make it a hollow cavity, you can add various types of thermal insulation material. Now these insulation material have air voids in them and very light in density so increase the insulation property of the wall.

Another insulation material is the aluminium cladding that help to protect the heat from entering into the building

K value of some building material

Copper 400
Aluminium 240
Iron 50
Granite 3
Glass 2
Concrete 1.5
Bricks 1.25
Aireated concrete 0.650
Water 0.65
Timber 0.20
Fibreglass 0.05
Polystyrene 0.035
Air 0.030

Note the air has the lowest 'K' Value

Wow, thanks for the detailed explanation.
Well some other things you might like to know.
I live in Finland and it gets pretty cold here sometimes (-35 celsius). I've seen that newer buildings have some sort of spongy thing filled at corners (where the walls are meeting) I think its probably for the extreme contraction and expansion at the joints.
Also here in the external walls here (new buildgins) they use this pre-fabricated sheets of foam (looks like styrofoam) which they just put in layers of concrete for insulation.

that nice pics

here some information about pace towers and cost of apartments.

We have a total of 99 deluxe luxury apartments out of which 70 are sold out. We had 3 Penthouses which are all sold out. Now we are left with 3 and 2 bed apartments with en suite Jacuzzi’s in bathrooms. The kitchen appliances are all imported and the lounge and drawing rooms would have wooden laminate flooring and ceramic tiles. The prices varies floor wise. They start from 5100/sqft approx to 6468/sqft. Ninth and Tenth floors are leisure floors which offers a swimming pool, Sauna, Jacuzzi’s and a fully equipped gymnasium for the use of residents only. Every apartment comes with underground secure car parking. You have to pay 20% as down payment and 28 equal installments and 10% on possession. We expect the project to be completed by June 2008.

If you have any further queries please do not hesitate to contact me. My name is Ahmed Khan and I am the senior sales manager in PACE PAKISTAN LIMITED. My mobile number is 0321-4069575

Best regards,

If PACE was a sucess in Lahore...it shouldn't have problems elsewhere in the country...

They're currently working on the third floor.

going on very slow pace ^^

the one near the airport was going fast, also mm alam road one has been completed but is really rubbish.

any progress/ updates on this?

They claimed 3 years back they had sold most of the appartments but I visited Lahore in Jan 2007 and there wasnt any undercontruction plaza with pace tower name. Moreover they had displayed a very very different pic on billboards.The pace tower on website and here is totally different. Its very suspicious still after a lapse of 3 years

any update on this project??? and have they changed the design again??

http://pacepakistan.com/images/project_images/res_pacetower/large/05.jpg

They have so many projects I cannot even remember which one this one is!

Any news on this?

Move/merge topic please.

UPDATE,

first of all there has been changes in the project, its not 20 storeys anymore, its increased to 25 and design has changed, new design is on the pace website, it has changed from a mughul look to a modern design.

construction is going at a thundarous pace, ive never seen so many labourers on a construction site before in pakistan and construction was looking high quality with high tech machinery,

The real estate sector in Pakistan has presented itself as a lucrative investment area and an opportunity for
investors interested in high returns.In Pakistan there has been immense activity and growth in real estate
business in the recent past.The boom started after 9/11 incident which resulted in increase in overseas
Pakistani's remittances into the Country.This along with enhancement in demand foe commercial sector
infrastructure gave the real estate sector a boost and investment in huge proportions started to flow into real
estate sector.There had also been an increase in housing finance and mortgage finance facilities by banks
with more people investing in properties.The Government also had been providing support to construction
and housing industry.Moreover,the country had witnessed good GDP growth in the recent past resulting in
an increase in per captia income over the same peroid.Rise in purchasing power of the people has led to an
increase in consumers spending.Overall we see a growing middle-class developing sophisticated
consumption habits influenced by media awareness.with the exposure through satellite channels and
Internet, consumers like to shop at modern facilities that match international standards.This is supported by
the fact that more and more people now want to shop under one roof where a whole range of items are
available for purchase at competitive prices under a cinductive environment with a range of support
facilities that PACE offers.

Real estate investment has also been boosted by the growth in the Public Sector Development Program
(PSDP).Construction companies primarily from Middle East,Malaysia and China are engaged in large-scale
development projects worth over USD 1 billion. The lacm of an entertainment infrastructure in
Pakistan had led to high demand for shopping malls,restaurants,movie theatres,etc.People are willing to
spend freely for grater entertainment options.Currently, there are very few large-scale malls all over\
Pakistan.

With well over 10 years of project managment experience,Pace has established its credibility in this sector.
The Company's strategy is to capitalize on increasing demand for quality entertainment and accomodation
by developing shopping venues,offices and residential/apartment buildings not only in Punjab
but all across Pakistan.The idea is to expand nationwide,beginning from its strong base in Lahore,
to those cities in Punjab where infrastructure development had grown enough to absorb thia investment and
comparable competitors are absent.Examples of 1st tier expansion areas are cities like KARACHI and
ISLAMABAD and 2nd tier expansion areas are the cities like Gujranwala,Gujrat,Faisalabad,Sialkot,Multan,
Peshawar,Quetta and Hyderabad.In view of the foregoing. the Company will continue focusing om business
expansion in real estate activites in order to enhance its future outlook/business prospects.This
has been strategically planned by the Company in view of valuable and distinctive experience gained over
the past years as well as its credibility and expertise in development/construction/sales of real estate and
property management.

In line with vision of the Company and keeping in view current market conditions/growth opprtunities,it
is felt by the management of the Company that this is the right time for expansion.As a result of the recent
successful IPO of the Company and as a result of effective marketing, the Company now has nationwide visibility
and there is a demand from investors that projects should be launched in Karachi,the largest
commercial hub of Pakistan.PACE intends to capitalize this opprtunity by undertaking a multi-use project
similar to PACE CIRCLE in Lahore in addition to a PACE signature shopping mall in KARACHI.

The Company intends to undertake mega projects involving construction of a SUPER MALL in KRACHI and a MULTI-USE COMPLEX comprising of a shopping mall,an apartment building,an office block annd 5 star hotel with an international chain.The total investment by the Company is estimated at Rs.3.7 billion.Out of this , cost of the SUPER MALL is estimated at around Rs. 1.2 billion and the Company's portion of investment in the Multiuse Complex (which project would be undertaken by a separate entity) is around Rs.2.3
billion out of Rs. 9.2 billion (its totoal project cost).This investment can be in the form of equity/lload/advance in a manner as appropriate.The balance of cost out of total Rs. 3.7 billion represents working capital requirements
and other costs.The estimated cost of the above project shall be financed through issuance of Rs. 1.5 billion Term finance Certificates (TFC) and US $ 25 million through the Bonds.In case the above projects are not
matured the Company can undertake any similar or related real setate projects in Pakistan.It is envisaged that the SUPER MALL would take around 3 years.The TFCs shall be listed on LAHORE STOCK EXCHANGE (Guarantee) Limited and are being issued for a tenor of 5 years at a profit rate of Base Rate (Six Month Kibor) plus 3% per annum with no floor or cap.The principal is to be repaid in 6 equal installments in arrears after a grace period of 24 month from the date of issue.The profit will be payable semi-annually
in arrears on the outstanding principal amount.

They used that gay little bucket that goes up and down on the side of the structure taking cement or concrete to the top. How archaic! :ohno:

Here is another under construction building near Main Market, it does not have any log i guees, just wanted to share. Its MM Tower.

AWESOME updates again!! :applause:

Why can't Siamu do stuff like this? Take pics from his office or from the roof of his office? Instead of doing weird experiments up there.

Daym son. That looks really nice. All that needs to be done now is remove all these claustrophobic houses and construc more such buildings. Those buildings look from the first world.

nice updates. It seems like Lahore will have sky line one day.

yes lahore will have nice skyline thanks to musharraf and his great leadership :) and qaiserm, there is a thread for mm tower somehwere, if you have more detials on that then also post that.

ji, aag lagani ti:lol:

Lets please leave the politics out of this.

yeah you are right, In couple of year i am seeing an awesome skyline for lahore after all these new buildings getting shape. Especially Sheikh zaid center. My office is in middle of these buildings so i will try to keep updating on development by taking images as im not very much into technical details of these projects.

@brightside.
These houses in the surroundings of MM tower and on main boulevard mostly not in use. I think their owners are just waiting for good offers by these realtors. these houses are very big in size, bad in condition and GREAT in location :-) so wait for new commercial projects on main boulevard. I have heard about a new high rise being planned on main boulevard. wait and see.

not much progress in last 15 days or so....

GUYS i was saying its about 13 to 14 floors now is it the tallest building right now in lahore

yes i think so, its the tallest structure in lahore till now

No, its not yet. Under construction MM tower near Main Market also has 14 floors.

GUYS i was saying its about 13 to 14 floors now is it the tallest building right now in lahore

It probably is. Lahore trails Karachi and Islamabad in terms of high rises. Aren't Eden Towers or Eden Heights 16 storeys tall though?

Looking at all these projects currently underconstruction or proposed/approved for the future makes me so excited!! Isb, Khr, and Lhr will have some nice looking skylines in the future! :happy:

the average maximum height of buildings in lahore is 12... but now we will see Lahore going up as many buildings having 18+ stories will rise soon...

that would be beautiful...!!

yea eden tower is 16 storeys, me thinks.

anyway looks like the tower has reached half way stage, so just double the struchure to get real feel of the tower.

Good pics JSultan :yes:

so its is going to be the tallest building in a near future

good updates. The building is rising fast. Hopefully by the end of year it will complete. The Pace tower some what looks like ISE tower in Islamabad.

No sir... Eden Tower is 12 stories.... counted my self...!! :)

This means that Lahore is quite far behind Karachi and Islamabad in terms of high rises.

This means that we should get back on topic before this turns into a city vs city thing.

We all know that there was a restriction in lahore to build buildings no more than 12 stories high.

Karachi is our big bro we love it except (MQM)

You'll soon have the tallest building - SZC.

yes we love it and they love mqm, so why have a problem with it :ohno:

5 years back in Karachi no one like MQM when all karachi handover to MQM we the people think that it was wrong decision but they did not great but fair job because as we compare to last 20 years but now MQM image is going fine in Karachi But not great all the good image of MQM is created By MUSTAFA KAMAL they are really do the things in just 2 years iam not a supporter of MQM but it is true now some thing is better than nothing

Karachi could have been an amazing city if they didnt have MQM. I would have got relocated to Karachi if it wasnt for MQM.

doing something with guns and terror can never be appreciated. I pray for a peaceful and modern karachi. i live in lahore but love karachi being a Big brother of lahore and want to see it developing faster then any other city in the world.

Hey guys, you know what..once a person meets MQM leaders in person, he starts loving MQM actually. Just have a look at the list: Dr. Muhammad Ali Shah(renowned surgeon A.O Clinic and Cricket club fame, Chairman of KCCA), Khush Bakht Shujaat(Fmr TV news anchor), Umer Sharif(Comedy King), JAMEEL UDDIN AALI(an intellectual and poet), Anwer Maqsood(Tv anchor, writer, intellectual) and let me tell you Dr. Shahid Masood is also a silent supporter of MQM.

Hey...

this is LAHORE PACE TOWERS...what the hell is MQM doing here? :|
