Gwadar - the crown jewel of CPEC

There are multiple good reasons for investing in Gwadar Port and its Smart City. This includes;

• New and attractive modern smart city
• New natural deep seaport to rival Dubai
• Special Economic Zone Tax free for business for 23 years
• Housing land, residential and commercial investment opportunities
• Part of $62 billion China Pakistan Economic Corridor investment in roads, power stations, seaport and special economic zones
• Population forecast to grow to 2 million by 2050 from 150,000 today

Gwadar is destined to become one of the world’s great natural deep sea ports providing access to and from the Arabian Sea. It is a historic and important geo strategic development unrivalled in the world.

Its success is enhanced by being part of the China Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) which will provide the infrastructure such as roads, rail, airport and power stations  for trade and commerce to accelerate and grow.

China is the world’s largest manufacturer of goods and the world’s largest population and Pakistan’s own population is set to become the world’s third largest by 2050.

This development has already resulted in a huge increase in Gwadar of jobs and the population has grown from 80,000 to 150,000. The Gwadar Development Authority Master Plan 2017 to 2050 has planned for the population to grow to 300,000 by 2025.

The designation of Gwadar as a Special Economic Zone offering tax free status to business investors for 23 years will increase the number of much needed jobs and drive the inward migration of the required skills and labour.

The anticipated completion of the new Gwadar International Airport in 2023 will further accelerate growth

Gwadar Smart City is also designed with all the learning taken from other great port cities around the world and planned in future growth and sustainability.

Demand for land, residential and commercial will outstrip the available supply of such. This will ensure investors secure high returns on their investments compared with similar projects around the world. 

As a result of major developments in the area, the real estate sector in the port city of Gwadar is growing rapidly with every passing day. Gwadar is now referred to as the company center and investors at home and abroad are pouring in to invest. Over the last few months, Gwadar property prices have risen manifold- said the Gwadar development authority. It is important to note that Gwadar’s infrastructure is being built in the immediate future to support heavy developments. To have a strong infrastructure, more employment. GDA (Gwadar Development Authority) works on residential; and commercial development in Gwadar. This is critical because a lot of people will be coming to Gwadar looking for new economic opportunities with the rise in port operation. This, in turn, would raise the demand for Gwadar real estate.
