Burj Quaid
A 941-ft mixed-use tower by a delivery-proven, Shariah-focused developer, positioned at the centre of Karachi’s most ambitious master-planned district — with a staged capital structure that suits patient, goal-based investors.
A landmark asset, read as an investment
Burj Quaid is conceived as the tallest tower in Pakistan — a 941-foot, 82-storey mixed-use landmark rising from Plot No. 1 in the Central Business District of DHA City, Karachi. It integrates residences, corporate suites, retail and leisure within a single, master-planned address.
For an investor, the interest is not the height. It is a real, income-capable asset in a location with a defined infrastructure trajectory, delivered by a developer with a verifiable completion record, structured over a multi-year horizon that spreads capital rather than demanding it up front.
ABS Developers
ABS Developers (Abdullah Bin Sabeel) position themselves as a pioneer in Shariah-compliant real estate. Their record includes Pearl One Tower — commenced Q1 2021 and delivered Q3 2023 — alongside a pipeline spanning ABS Mall & Residency, the Pearl One Courtyard series, Pearl One Premium and Pearl One Capital across Lahore, Islamabad, Sialkot and Karachi.
A demonstrated ability to start and hand over projects is a material input to our view. Delivery history reduces execution risk; a diversified, active pipeline signals institutional capacity rather than a single-project promoter.
Why this opportunity is under coverage
Burj Quaid enters our coverage because it clears the conditions we set before presenting any opportunity: a real, tangible asset; a developer with verifiable delivery; documented regulatory approvals; a Shariah-consistent structure; and a location with an identifiable growth thesis.
Featuring an opportunity is not an endorsement to invest. It is a signal that the research is complete enough for an informed conversation — the decision remains entirely the investor’s.
“Featuring an opportunity is a statement about our research — never a recommendation to buy.”
DHA City Karachi is one of Pakistan’s largest master-planned developments, engineered with wide arterial roads, dedicated utilities and planned commercial, educational and healthcare zones. Burj Quaid sits at its Central Business District — the position within a master plan that typically captures the earliest and most durable appreciation.

Figures are illustrative entry positions drawn from the developer’s published plan: a down payment followed by 23 quarterly stages and a final payment, with deployment commencing October 2026. Areas are gross and approximate; category premiums of 10–20% may apply. This is analysis, not an offer — all terms are set and revised by the project’s management, and any commitment should be verified against current documents at the time of decision.
The case, and what could change it
The stated case rests on connectivity. On completion of the Malir Expressway, the developer positions Burj Quaid within roughly 25 minutes of Clifton, the airport, Shahra-e-Faisal and Sea View. Infrastructure that compresses travel time is historically the strongest driver of land and rental value in a corridor. We treat the timeline as a variable to monitor, not a settled fact.
Questions investors ask us
Is Midrar selling apartments in Burj Quaid?
No. Midrar Capital is an investment advisory firm. We research and present opportunities, perform due diligence, and help you reach an informed decision. We do not act as a sales agent, and our guidance is designed to serve the investor first.
What makes this a Shariah-compliant opportunity?
The underlying asset is real property, the developer positions itself as Shariah-compliant, and the deployment structure is staged rather than interest-based. We review the structure against Islamic financial principles before presenting it.
How is the capital structured?
The developer’s published plan uses a down payment followed by 23 quarterly stages and a final payment, commencing October 2026. We present this as an analytical schedule; exact terms are confirmed directly at the point of decision.
What are the main risks?
As with any development asset: execution and delivery timing, the completion schedule of enabling infrastructure such as the Malir Expressway, and broader market conditions. We document these openly rather than minimising them.
Can I speak to an advisor before deciding?
Yes — that is the point. Book a consultation and we will walk through the research, the risks and how this fits your goals, with no obligation to proceed.
