[Naveed Yaseen]

KARACHI: City Nazim Syed Mustafa Kamal has said that the City District Government Karachi (CDGK) and the House Building Finance Corporation (HBFC), in collaboration with the private sector, should devise a strategy to offer low-priced housing projects.

He made the comments while talking to an HBFC delegation led by HBFC Chairman Azhar A Jaffery on Wednesday. He said that these projects could provide quality residential units to low-income citizens of the city. Kamal suggested that the availability of land was not a big problem as there is enough land available at Hawkesbay, Surjani Town and Taiser Town where low-priced and quality apartments could be constructed as joint ventures. He said that the HBFC should chalk out a strategy for the construction of low-priced yet quality residential schemes in the city so that the citizens could get better residences at affordable prices. staff report
