Another scam in Pakistan in the making. It has a very high potential to enter - Pakistani Lies & Denial Thread
http://www.thenews.com.pk/Todays-News-13-21538-Thomas-Kramer-signs-$20-billion-deal-with-Bahria-TownISLAMABAD: US real estate tycoon Thomas Kramer and CEO Bahria Town Ahmed Ali Riaz Malik signed a $20 billion agreement for Pakistan's first ever Island City, Bundal & Buddo Islands, Karachi, says a press release.
A joint consortium of international investors will join hands to develop this project and the deal with Thomas Kramer is the first level of this agreement. Announcements of other global investors from Middle East and around the globe will be made soon.
Covering 12,000 acres of land, this project will be developed in a span of 5-10 years but the residential communities will start being handed over to the people in 2016. The global attractions of the project include world's tallest building, world's largest shopping mall, sports city, educational and medical city, international city and a media city, all having the most modern facilities & amenities and the most advanced infrastructure.
Island City will be connected to DHA Karachi via a six-lane modern bridge. The entire city will be a "high security zone", having its own drinking water (converting sea-water into drinking water) and power generation plants to enable it to be self sufficient for power. Moreover, the project will have mosques, cinemas, spas, golf clubs, school, hospital and other global standard amenities to furnish a modern lifestyle.
Thomas Kramer at the occasion said, "I have full confidence in the people and economy of Pakistan. In 1970 when I started my project in Germany it was the worst era of their history. Likewise when Miami Beach project was started, the area was in full control of Cuban criminals, different mafias and gangsters. Dead bodies used to be scattered on the beaches. I completed my projects successfully. Today they are the world's most secure and advanced regions. Current situation in Pakistan is much better than those areas. Further I am confident that this project along with boasting the economy will also eradicate terrorism from Pakistan. This is a once in a lifetime chance to bring Pakistan back on the map to the leading nations in the world."
Speaking at the occasion, current consultant and former chairman of Bahria Town, Malik Riaz Hussain said, "Our slogan is 'Bahria Town Commits – Bahria Town Delivers' and Alhamdulillah we have fulfilled all our promises made with Pakistan and Pakistanis. We know that the construction sector has played a key role in transforming the USA, Malaysia, Japan, Turkey and Germany into developed nations. In the same manner, Insha Allah, Pakistan will also become a developed nation, which is our vision. This project will not only provide 2.5 million jobs but will help revive 55 national industries and provide housing to 1 million Pakistanis. It will also help eliminate terrorism and crimes."
Thomas Kramer is a visionary businessman commonly known as TK. He surveyed an island hideout of Cuban pirates in 1991-92 and later on developed it into the present day Miami Beach, which is one of the biggest international tourist destinations of today. He is specialist and well known for building skyscrapers in coastal areas. His company has successfully constructed several projects around the globe.
Bahria Town's spokesman said that it's an honor to join hands with such a visionary developer of Kramer's caliber.
Online adds: Malik Riaz said that if he is given a chance he would turn Pakistan into Dubai and Europe. He said, "We would continue to invest in Pakistan despite all odds and we are in talks with foreign investors."
Malik Riaz said that he promises the nation that in next few years he would bring foreign investment worth more than Rs50 billion and no one can stop it. He said that until children are given quality education, Pakistan cannot excel.
