Gwadar Golden Palms

Spanning over 1000 acres of land, the Gwadar Golden Palms is the zealous vision of Mr. Sadruddin Hashwani, after Zaver Pearl Continental Hotel at Gwadar. Surrounded by the pristine beauty of the Makran coastline, the township is one of most prominent projects situated at the western end of the city, and overlooking the Gwadar West Bay. Surrounding the harbor is a series of zones, with commercial, residential and amenity areas, the Gwadar Golden Palm is the symbol of Gwadar's meteoric rise and the grand intent of our truly unprecedented master plan.

Meinhardt, a Singapore based urban design company, has planned The Golden Palms with a meticulous attention to every detail.

Gwadar Golden Palms promises a wealth of quality amenities, breathtaking vistas, embodying the expectations of the modern professional and luxurious lifestyle to cater to the needs of the future residents of the city.

The scheme is divided into four quadrants or Zones, named after four palm families:

* Orania
* Scheelea
* Areca
* Salacca

Gwadar Golden Palms is an unprecedented offering at an unimaginable scale. The vision behind the concept is to create a world class destination for residents, visitors and businessmen.

This project is mainly a residential one and in a city that is currently just begun construction. I dont expect this to go anywhere atleast in 10 years..maybe just some part of it.

I mean lets be realistic, take Islamabad for example...cities take decades to go anywhere and that is perfectly understandable too. So apart from some commercial offices, a few hotels and some residential areas things would take time to go anywhere.

With the beginning of the oil city, the 2nd phase of port development, some export zones things would definitely start changing which would mean more worker/laborers housing including temporary ones, few site offices and few hotels for visiting executives. Offcourse, there would be a limited good housing too for the middle/senior management and port employees, and as can be seen from the above article the chinese companies might build offices and residences for their workers, and some millitary/navy establishment because Gwadar will also be a navy base.

But big construction boom in terms of highrises, infrastructure will only come say 20 yrs from now if and when the vision is a success, with basic infrastructure complete and later investment starts to flow in...which it should be keeping in mind the geographical location and the interest of both pakistani govt and foreign nations.

So what the hype about Gwadar unnecessary or was it overhyped? My answer to that is NO but certain people ( being skyscraper enthusiasts its understandable) thought that a new city could be built from scratch and it would have a construction boom out of nowhere. At best, they are impatient..thats all. None of Dubai, Singapore or Hong Kong were made in a decade and they are the best success stories around. Dubai, with all its stategic location and oil discovery since the 60s/70s took decades before reaching anywhere.

So while I dont know if and when it could be a world-class commercial hub, but it will certainly go places and should indeed be sizeable business/transportation/energy hub of the region.

Well, thats how i see it.

That lone building by the sea is Marriott.

We could have topless chicks on Balochistans shores very soon. If the mullahs are kept away from Gwadar.

[spyk]

Lets hope so.

I read in the news somewhere today that the new Gwadar airport will be completed and handed over to CAA in November 2010 (and the new Islamabad airport by December 2010)

IMPOSSIBLE!

People throng the beaches wearing Shalwar Kameez's and you guys are expecting topless girls there? Unless ofcourse you're talking about foreign women who might holiday at Gwadar. But them being topless would only be possible if the beach is made private and only foriengers are allowed to go there. Though the Elite would demand the same privilages as foreigners though.

EDIT: Those two girls at a beach in Karachi wearing the most proper beach attire in Pakistan were apparently part of an Office party by I think Telenor. They were Telenor employees. Thats what I found on the web.

Yes, I'm talking about foreign tourist girls. Pakistani girls won't be going topless for about another 100 years at least.

[welders]
