Lahore: The Pakistan Property Show Dubai – 2019 (PPS Dubai – 2019), a two-day property exhibit organised by Zameen.com on December 6 and 7 in the UAE, has concluded. The event was held at the Dubai World Trade Centre.
The show, in addition to providing an engaging platform for overseas Pakistanis to connect with top-notch real estate developers from their home country, served as a platform for the Government of Pakistan (GoP) to showcase its ‘precious yet unutilised’ deadweight properties to potential buyers; particularly to the individuals hailing from the expatriate community resident in Dubai.
Prime Minister (PM) Imran Khan had earlier directed the Privatisation Commission of Pakistan on December 5 to participate in the exhibit; in order to engage UAE-based Pakistanis into purchasing a number of unutilised government properties and thereby generating revenue for the executive.
Privatisation Commission Director General Iftikhar Hussain lauded Zameen.com for its efforts on organising ‘such a successful exhibition’; stating that ‘such events provide the ideal opportunity to engage with overseas Pakistanis because of Zameen.com’s phenomenal outreach’.
Pakistan Property Show Dubai – 2019 was inaugurated by Real Estate Regulatory Agency (RERA) CEO H.E Marwan Ahmed bin Ghalita, while the Consul General of Pakistan in the UAE Amjad Ahmad Ali filled in as the event’s chief guest on the second day. Other notable attendees included prominent media figures and renowned journalists Moeed Pirzada, Waseem Badami, and Mansoor Ali Khan.
The property show featured over 64 developer exhibits that showcased the most prominent real estate projects in the prime locations of Karachi, Lahore, Islamabad, Multan, Peshawar, Faisalabad, Gujranwala, Multan, Peshawar, Raheem Yar Khan, and Gwadar.
The event attracted an impressive footfall of 20,000+ visitors – being the third instalment in Zameen.com’s Pakistan Property Show international series. The show’s predecessor events, organised in 2017 and 2018 respectively, saw a combined footfall of 31,000 visitors.
During the proceedings, Zameen.com Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Zeeshan Ali Khan expressed his appreciation for the show’s visitors for putting their trust in the brand — and for their invaluable contributions to the country’s foreign exchange reserves.
‘The success of the Pakistan Property Show is, in fact, the success of all UAE-based Pakistanis; whose participation generates an invaluable inflow of foreign exchange into Pakistan,’ he said.
