ISLAMABAD: Underlining the steps being taken by the government to leverage the true tourism potential of Pakistan, Prime Minister Shaukat Aziz has said that government is encouraging the hotel industry in Pakistan to ease out the residential problems of tourists, investors and other visitors.

The Prime Minister was chairing a meeting about the establishment of Grand Hyatt Islamabad by a private sector company here on Tuesday.

The Prime Minister said that Pakistan due to its landscape, historical and cultural background has great tourism potential. Also it has places like Taxilla, Takht Bai, Punja Sahib, Nankana Sahib which are the cradles of Buddist and Sikh civilizations.

However, due to lack of adequate facilities the religious tourism potential remains under utilized. The government is trying to package the facilities for the comfort of all kinds of tourists, said the Prime Minister.

Great news that such a blue chip hotel brand is launching in Pakistan. Hopefully, this will spur other international hotel groups to extend their franchise reach to include Pakistan.

This building is up there with SZC when it comes to sexiness. I still think SZC is the sexier of the two.

The project is designed to offer the following world class facilities:


The Grand Hyatt tower – at 45 stories; the tallest building in the Islamabad region. The Grand Hyatt will occupy the upper 21 floors.


The The Hotel will comprise 384 rooms with a rooftop restaurant, two other major restaurants, sky lobby, fitness center, swimming pool, and banqueting/conference facilities capable of hosting 1000 people. The ballroom and fitness facilities will be adjacent to the hotel tower.


* Lower floors will comprise of 200 1 and 2 bed serviced apartments


* A major international class spa and beauty facility.


* A 20 story tower of 3 and 4 bedroom luxury apartments for sale – overlooking Rawal Lake to the south and the Margala Hill to the north. The interiors are to be finished out the highest standards.


* A 20 story tower of office buildings providing over 20,000sq m. of class A Office space for sale. The space will appeal to multinational corporations, and international agencies.


* The development will include 15,000 sq m. of an indoor/outdoor retail village which will be home to roughly 65 anchor tenants creating a critical mass of fashion, lifestyle, and high-end products. As well as some significant food and beverage outlets.


* There will also be a large specialist supermarket as part of the complex.


* The development will be imaginatively landscaped with gardens, shaded walking spaces, and water features. The total landscaping features will cover roughly 40% of the site.


* A 1465 space carpark on three basement levels will serve the parking requirements of the site.


* The sites utilities infrastructure will have state of the art technology and power resilience provided by onsite power generation. There will also be a water treatment facility.


* Security, which is of paramount importance, will be discreet but extremely effective, and enable residence to enjoy the facilities.

Is this U/C ?

Any news, or still proposed?

^^ As of Sept last when i saw it, Only site clearing, plus a few buldozers + earth digging machinery were present. There was a signboard also but actual construction hadn't started.

It was about the same time that building codes were being revised and everyone had to confirm that his design matches the new code.

I can't say of the situation now. Lately, we haven't got any updates from islamabad.

Absolutely Awesome !! Though won't so much glass seem hazardous in a earthquake zone!

Glass, which is suitable for construction purposes(reinforced), is quite flexible as well as capable of withstanding earthquakes.

Very clean design.. I love it.. just wish it was built near the Centaurus instead of near the Diplomatic Enclave.

Work has begun on what is hoped to become a landmark tower in Islamabad, Pakistan, sited next to the Jinnah Convention Centre the Grand Hyatt Hotel, when completed will be much welcomed addition to the rising skyline of the city.

With 45 floors and a further 5 underground the skyscraper will contain a hotel with 360 rooms and a further 200 serviced apartments.
Unostentatious and simple in design, the tower still achieves a sense of grandeur and elegance with its clean lines rising up to four gently curved peaks creating a semi-transparent crown.

Already a blossoming IT centre with many large companies setting up offices, the Pakistani government have plans to make Islamabad a hot spot for business conferences, conventions and seminars and also plan to expand the country's already healthy tourist industry.

Plans for a number of other five star hotels and budget hotels are underway and in order to increase visitor numbers, they aim to begin construction of an updated airport to be connected via a new motorway in order to allow visitors ease of movement.
The developers, the BNP group, have said that the hotel will have all the facilities and amenities expected of a world class five star hotel and in addition be suitable to hold international conferences, conventions and other large scale functions. The first and most likely not the last to be built in the country, the hotel marks the further expansion of the internationally known chain of Grant Hyatt Hotels into an emerging market that straddles the join between Asia and the Middle East.

The project is sited on a plot measuring 13.5 acres, purchased from the Capital Development Authority, and will cost a cool $260 million to complete. All being well it is hoped to be completed and ready for use in December 2009.

I'm sorry but did they bring a Moulvi to say the dua :lol:?

Centaurus vs Grand Hyatt

Hmm

In the first pic, their is actually a road running between the two smaller towers... So are actually going to make them so they stradle the road? That would really look awesome if they did, especially when driving between them.

Centaurus vs Grand Hyatt

Hmm

comon man, GH doesnt hold a candle to Centaurus

I'm sorry but did they bring a Moulvi to say the dua :lol:?

Yes it seems to be a Mullah. You know Mullahs are very bad.

In the first pic, their is actually a road running between the two smaller towers... So are actually going to make them so they stradle the road? That would really look awesome if they did, especially when driving between them.

Yes but those buildings aren't very tall. And distance between those buildings and the other building is too big.

What's the height of this tower? Anybody knows?

What's the height of this tower? Anybody knows?

I would guess 170-200 m

I would guess 170-200 m
Yeah, my guess is the same. Most probably 200m. It doesn't have a spire, but the glasses (or glass-like things) do extend above the top. So I expect it to touch 200m.

I would guess 170-200 m

They said 47 floors. So the height should be somewhat around 160 meters or so.

anybody got any up dates on the PC executive tower in karachi,they have the model in the lobby,its pretty tall almost 43 times the height of the current pc building.
when are they going to build it

^^It is 45 floors not 47.

It should be somewhere around the 180m mark.

They said 47 floors. So the height should be somewhat around 160 meters or so.

But the glass type thing on the top would certainly add extra meters.....So i think it will be definitely be near 200m

Does some one know the location of this project. I read some where in news that it will be located right next to convention centre. Right after Faisabad fly over.

Centaurus vs Grand Hyatt

Hmm

I like Grand Hyatt design. I wish they would have spent money on constructing more 5 stars than 7 star hotel.

What are the two Towers behind?

But the glass type thing on the top would certainly add extra meters.....So i think it will be definitely be near 200m
Actually, it might touch 200m, assuming this render is accurate. The square windows on the sides represent 41 stories. Now add to that the top glasses (~12-15 stories in height) and the basement area (~6-8 stories in height). So, in terms of those middle stories, it'd be around 59-64 stories tall. All told, it would almost touch 200m.

What are the two Towers behind?
They are residential towers.

Are they a part of the Project?:)

Are they a part of the Project?:)
Yes.

They are residential towers.

Nope. Only 1 of them will be a residential tower, the other will be for official use.

Is this project run by

AAA Builders of Adnan Asdar Ali????

What are you talking about? I have been to almost all of those areas and the roads are far from being excellent.

I agree the geography is as harsh as one can imagine but still a lot needs to be done to provide proper roads. A lot is being done but at the present moment they are not that good.

Anyway, this is the Grand Hyatt thread. Lets wait and see when we can find some pictures on it.

Well I have been on all the roads as well and the MAIN roads are in very good condition. You might not be aware but NHA just recently fixed most of the roads and they are working in Swat now to do the same there as well. Even the tribal area's are getting better roads thanks to the NHA.

What an addition it will be! 170m not bad for Islamabad.

It looks like Radisson SAS will be built at the plot of Jamia Hafsa. It's in the same locality. :P

i hope ur jokin shueyb.... whos gonna stay there if thats the case

Well he may be right....During the entire operation footages I could see an under construction multi-story building, it might be the one....

there was some site clearing activity going on some time back but i guess formal work would start early next year.

I went to the site in June 2006, they started the excavation work of three towers basement. I havent visited for a year now! But the work progress should have been completed on the foundation n basments by now!

While passing through the Serena chowk today I observed a steel structure coming out of the site, looks like work on erection of one building has started and the style of construction is the way they do it in US not the Pakistani style of concrete and surreya structure. I will take time to go and watch it closely. May be also try to grab the digital cam to have it pictured.

It must be a STEEL STRUCTURE then from what you are telling. N if it is so, this project is going up real fast then! U can access the site from the road going to the convention centre from the globe. Take pix of the project. That will be gr8!

I also heard from a friend of mine about that emerging steel structure ( he said it was already about 6-8 storey high. Unfortunately, the guy doesnt have a camera(even a mob phone camera) :(

Let's hope Abid decides to go that way and get us some pics. I believe this would be the first structure being constructed in this manner in pakistan.

I must say I am pleasantly surprised at how this tower has started showing from far away ( apparently) considering that the award for construction was just given a few months ago. I was actually expecting it might take upto 2008 before any considerable physical work starts to show up.

i think their in competition with the centaurus seems like they will open first even though centaurus started before them

I passby the construction site everyday while going to my office, what i feel is that its not the part of main building. What does it stand there for. Any it is not getting added any further structure in it.

Yaar, Triple can you go and see how far they have reached?? Pics would be wonderful, but just telling us would be fine as well. :)

that is one of the sexiest hotels i have ever seen, really want this one completed on time.

actually got some, but they are of November, don't think there will be much of a difference though.

Looks like they have started construction on all the main tower and allied buildings simultaneously. The first pic i post seems to be main tower.

yes after seeing the pics I can say that they had started to built the main tower as well as the others builindgs too.


ABBASIA doesnt that security guard in the post no. 166 stop you from taking pics.

Assalamaoalukum,

Seems like Islamabad will be flooded with Chinese workers very soon. Hilton and Centurion alone will need thousands of Chinese workers.
By the way that white structure with a Pakistani flag on it is actually a living accomodation for Chinese workers.

Hi there,

Hilton and Centaurus are one project. The Centaurus will house the Hilton hotel.

Reardonsmiths (http://www.reardonsmith.com/projects/ghyis.html#)are the consultant architects of this hotel.

An iconic new tower, some 200 metres tall, was chosen by Hyatt to accommodate its first hotel in Islamabad and ReardonSmith was appointed as Hotel Operational Consultants to work with the developer, the local architect, Arcop, and Hyatt. In this capacity, ReardonSmith was responsible for guiding the internal planning of the hotel element within the tower to meet Hyatt’s requirements as well as for the further development of some elements of the façade. The scheme for the Grand Hyatt Islamabad included ballrooms, restaurants and spa together with 360 guestrooms and several floors of serviced apartments. Arrival was to be via an express lift to the Sky Lobby at level 42 with bedroom floors below and public areas and apartments above.

Chinese Construction Company to construct International standard hotel costing $200 mln

Executive Director of China Estate Engineering Corporation informed that the height of 45 storey building would be 217 meter while 21 upper storeys have been reserved for hotel while shopping malls and other offices would be constructed on the lower 24 buildings. The tower would be highest tower of the country. http://www.onlinenews.com.pk/details.php?id=115639

Thank God its coming up. They should finish it before 2011 world cup.

This is the project I'm really looking forward to for Islamabad, other than the Centaurs. Great work ABBASIA. Are those Chinese workers there?

CAN A MOD PLEASE EDIT THE TITLE TO SAY 712 FT?

I would like to see heights of all projects in feet, as that is the most common unit used for height in Pakistan, and I can only judge how tall something is if I see height in feet. I request KB or Fahad to edit all threads to give height in feet. Thanks.

^^ There is no need to remove what it says in metres! Just add the height in feet ALONGSIDE it.

Detailing in meters and feet helps people to assess the height irrespective of their preferred unit of measurement.

Yeah, it's fine if the mods wanna keep the height in meters, but the height in ft should be mentioned first, as that is the primary height unit in Pakistan.

Nobody there uses meters outside of engineering.

I will put the heights in feets during the weekend (hopefully).

Raana ji you seemed to be in hurry :lol: or keys of your keyboard are not soft.
no no its nothing wrong with the kepboard just tried with feet that time :lol::lol:

WOW. I didn't know It will have two low rise twins as well :banana: (link to Tower C by skybridge) and bonus retail area... The pictures on website are quite old, waiting for anyone to post the latest stage.

Thanks trappy for summarizing the info.

in the last render i think they had changed the design of the tower looking good now

Tower A: 50 storey tower {Ain't it 45 stories?} comprising Grand Hyatt Hotel for top half of tower (of 350 rooms), and Serviced Apartments to lower portion,


Its 45, confirmed from their official website. visit the link 'Discover => Grand Hayatt'

why does the tower look transparent in the render?

a quick question: should i post the site images here from oneconstitutionave.com to keep the record? their flash gallery is bit pathetic, you cant see the whole image at once. and may be in future they remove the old images.

very nice website.....
