KARACHI: After six years of radio silence from over half a dozen companies with a licence to manage real estate investment trusts (REITs), as many as six transactions worth up to Rs38 billion are likely to take place within 2021-22.
Speaking to
Dawn in a recent interview, Arif Habib Dolmen REIT Management CEO Muhammad Ejaz said his company will soon launch four REITs in addition to the two schemes that the company announced earlier this month.
REITs collect money from investors and deploy it in real estate projects. They operate like any other company but offer more transparency to investors as trustees control all assets and the entity must list on a stock exchange within three years. Small investors can then take exposure to an otherwise capital-intensive and illiquid real estate market by publicly trading REIT units just like ordinary shares.

KARACHI: The Pakistan Association of Large Steel Producers (PALSP) on Thursday rejected what it called irresponsible remarks made by the Association of Builders and Developers (ABAD) that said that steel sector was trying to damage the Naya Pakistan Housing Programme by raising prices of bars.
“ABAD has been specifically targeting the steel industry by ignoring the harsh reality that the surge in prices is not confined to steel bars only. There has been a phenomenal increase in the cost of construction materials including cement, bricks, sand, crush etc,” PALSP Secretary General Syed Wajid I Bukhari.
