I. I. Chundrigar Road

I. I. Chundrigar Road is the financial district of Karachi, Pakistan that is the center of Pakistan banking and financial institutions. It is the largest financial district in the country and often termed as the "Pakistan's Wall Street".[1][2]

In 1963, Habib Bank Plaza was built on this street which remained the tallest building of Pakistan until 2000s.[1] In 2007 Sharjah-based Enshaa Holdings in a joint venture with NLC launched Karachi International Financial center on II Chundrigar road which would comprise a hotel, office towers, serviced apartments and a railway station. The Karachi Financial Towers would include two identical 37-storey towers connected by a three-floor glass skybridge. As of 2012, construction has been abandoned because of financial misappropriation and possible embezzlement.[3]
