Proposed: KPT Tower = 5 + Port tower = 1

Grand Total = 79 + 6 Proposed.

Add to this the Defence Regency = 3 + Saima Bridge View Apartments = 8

So that brings the total U/C towers to 79 + 8 + 3 = 90 Towers

Musiddiqui I think he meant the 80 Floor KPT Tower Complex not the 1947 ft Tower. Both of them have been labeled as KARACHI - Port Tower, I think that the 2nd one should be called Port Tower, as thats what I've heard it being called.

@ Buyckske

Yeah, thanks!! We thought of sharing some of the projects going on in Pakistan's 3 main cities, as we have accumulated enough pics, renders, data, location maps & videos on them.

You can check out this thread for the KARACHI - Port Tower Complex, in the Supertalls section: http://www.skyscrapercity.com/showthread.php?t=460243
