February 13 marked an exclusive property event: Green Palms Gala 1st Lucky Draw at Royal Palm Golf and Country Club, Lahore. This was a grand, invite-only event, exclusively covered by Zameen.com, which is also the sole marketer for Green Palms Gwadar—a highly-anticipated project by real estate pioneers, Rafi Group.
Even though the entire event was a roaring success, we will discuss some highlights in this blog, just so you get a better understanding of what to expect next from the developers.
Rafi Group is one of the largest and most-trusted land developers in Pakistan that has been developing successful projects in the country successfully since 1978. Their projects always draw a lot of attention from overseas buyers and investors as they are a trusted name in the real estate market of Pakistan. Their exclusive property galas are some of the most sought-after events in the realty landscape of the country. Shehriar Imtiaz Rafi, a well-known name in the real estate market of Pakistan, is the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Rafi Group. His vision is to work towards building real estate ventures that are not exclusively business-driven but also contribute towards the country’s economic prosperity.
The evening was hosted by Azfar Rehman and Hina Niazi, both of whom are prominent names in Pakistan’s entertainment industry. Throughout the event, they managed to entertain and engage the audiences with their quick wit and humor. A number of other prominent names were also present, including Farhan Saeed, Waris Baig, Sophia Mirza and Dr. Arooba Tariq.
Green Palms Gala also featured a lucky draw, which included a list of all compliant clients. Contenders got a chance to win gifts like Umrah tickets, home appliances, motorbikes, cars as well as a bumper prize, which we shall reveal later in the piece. The lucky draw was followed by a delicious hi-tea and a musical evening by the uber-talented singer, Farhan Saeed. All the people in attendance thoroughly enjoyed the event and also got a chance to learn about the project and the importance of Gwadar.
For prospective investors, Green Palms Gala served as a wonderful platform to explore and understand the real estate market of Gwadar. It also provided an insight into what Rafi Group envisions to bring to the region with its Green Palms Housing Project, which is the largest private GDA-approved housing project in Gwadar.
Green Palms Gala: A Quick Recap
The event started off with a press conference by Imtiaz Rafi Butt, Chairman of Rafi Group and Jinnah Rafi Foundation, Shazil Imtiaz Rafi Butt, Managing Director of Rafi Group, and Shehriar Imtiaz Rafi, CEO of Rafi Group. They briefed the media about their vision and the development status of the project. Imtiaz Rafi Butt described the China Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) as necessitated by mutual needs and for mutual benefit. When describing in detail, he said this mutual cooperation would help Pakistan economically, and politically, by connecting it through Central Asia to Russia and Europe. He, therefore, ascribed great importance to the CPEC with respect to Pakistan.
In addition, Imtiaz Rafi Butt provided details of Gwadar and how prices are expected to increase in the coming months as the port city is pristine land and a high percentage of the overall country’s development is taking place here. He also mentioned that development work is underway in Gwadar for years now, and now with international investors also interested here, prices are only expected to go up. Imtiaz Rafi Butt also added that within two years, Pakistan’s largest international airport will be fully functional in Gwadar.
Rafi Group’s Managing Director, Shazil Imtiaz also gave details about the trade activities in Gwadar and mentioned that as business activities in the area increase, so will the need for housing. He added that Rafi Group anticipated this increased need for housing and has, therefore, introduced Green Palms Gwadar to fill this gap. He said that this is the time to invest in Gwadar and gain the highest capital gains from the short to medium term. Giving details about the project, Shazil Imtiaz said the project is located on Makran Coastal highway with a front of 1.25 kilometres and in the intersection of Kahan Avenue and Makran Coastal Highway, giving access to the downtown area and Gwadar Marine Drive. The downtown area will have all the amenities and facilities of a burgeoning metropolis and tourist avenue. He also mentioned that the project is fast approaching completion as development is underway.
This media press briefing was highly informative for people who wanted to know more about the project and the real estate development of Gwadar.
While the first half of the gala showcased talks and discussions about the project and its significance, the second half had all the fun activities.
