Description:
Port Tower Complex is a vision of Karachi port trust which came very close to reality. The initial vision was for a 500ft tall observation Tower and restaurant that would give a full view of the city of Karachi. When an investor from Qatar came forward the project was changed into a Tower complex with the tallest tower being 1400ft tall. Later on the request of Shaukat Aziz the tower was rescaled to 1500 ft (To make it taller than Petronas Towers) but the project never materialized.In fall 2005 KPT chairman expressed an intention of building a 1947ft tall tower which would be one of the tallest buildings in the world. Recently, the President of Pakistan has given the project a push and it has been revitalized.
They are 2 renders that were released by KPT but it is still unclear rather or not these designs will be used by the new company.
