Family Builders: Two Decades of Excellence in Karachi Real Estate
Family Builders and Developers has spent over two decades shaping Karachi’s skyline with integrity, innovation, and purpose. Starting from modest roots, the company has delivered 15+ residential and commercial projects across prime locations, including PECHS, Bahria Town, and M.A. Jinnah Road. Led by CEO Abdullah Tariq, their portfolio now includes the landmark Seven Towers project. With a focus on community, design, and modern living, Family Builders continues to set benchmarks in quality construction and trusted real estate development.
For 20+ years, Family Builders and Developers have constantly set the industry standard for reliability, creativity, and building design in changing Karachi's real estate landscape. From a modest printing press to being pioneers of some of the most creative urban residential and commercial developments in the city, Family Builders has continually expanded the boundaries of urban living. As of this moment, it can be stated with integrity that Family Builders remains a reliable name among all builders and developers in Karachi in quality real estate development, with completed projects and 15 or more completed projects and another five desirable projects underway, including the grandeur of Seven Towers.
The Journey: From Print to Property
Under the direction of its CEO and Founder, Abdullah Tariq, Family Builders' journey is one of evolution and resilience. The organization began as a printing business before entering the construction sector with Abdullah Castle and the Arif Arcade, built on the same site as the prior printing press.
This was not just an industry transition, it was a new purpose. They were committed to providing environments with a unique quality that guarantees optimum usability, aesthetic appeal, and long-lasting value.
Milestones That Define Excellence
Every successful legacy is built on momentous occasions — and while Family Builders journeyed from a manual printing press to one of the country's leading Developers, the experiences have been punctuated with momentous occasions. Each new project represents more than just its expansion; it is a deep understanding of the changing urban needs of Karachi. Let's look at the significant milestone projects that have contributed to the evolution.
Early Successes: Establishing Trust
Between 2006 and 2013, Family Builders delivered several notable residential and mixed-use developments that won the trust of both homeowners and investors:
- Abdullah Castle (2006–2008) on Burns Road: A modern mixed-use building in the heart of Karachi.
- Family Heights (2008–2009): A residential gem in Sharfabad.
- Sana Residency (2010–2013): A 13-floor blend of residential and commercial utility in PECHS.
These projects showcased a growing architectural ambition and attention to urban lifestyles, setting the stage for larger endeavors.
The Evolution of Gated Communities
From 2015 to 2024, Family Builders intentionally ventured into the gated community market and launched the Family Homes series (I to IX). Located in and around the central areas of Karachi (i.e., PECHS, Maqboolabad Society, and JCHS), these townhouses supported the juxtaposition of designer space and privacy, reflecting Karachi's rapidly increasing demand for secure, guarded communities that were also planned.
Each version improved on each sequential experience for living; the dwellings continued to push boundaries for living, while also improving the centralisation and community feeling. Quickly becoming the mainstay preferred address for families.
2018 Onwards: Scaling Up with Mixed-Use High-Rises
In 2018, Family Builders proposed land to construct Family Heaven on Shaheed-e-Millat Road, and swiftly launched a 13-story mixed-use building that seamlessly blended retail and residential use into a kinetic urban experience; this had been remodeled by Abdullah Tariq, setting a higher benchmark within Karachi's mid-rise market.
Expansion into Bahria Town Karachi
Family Builders amplified their presence further by collaborating with Ali Saqlain in Bahria Town Karachi - the largest planned township in the city. This collaboration facilitated the launch of the SQ Family Mall & Residencia (2022 - Ongoing), a G+30 building embracing 21 amenities and features, including a rooftop BBQ, pool, and dedicated gym.
The Seven Towers: Karachi’s Most Ambitious Residential Project
By all accounts, no project illustrates Family Builders' philosophy greater than The Seven Towers, their flagship project in Federal B Area Block 21. The Seven Towers is situated on 15,670 sq. yards, consisting of seven towers, each 35 stories in height, and offering an unrivalled opportunity for 1,392 residential units. This is the prime real estate investment in Karachi at this time.
Unmatched Features
- Towers Named & Themed: Alpha, Elite, Oasis, Imperial, Harmony, Nexus, and Cove — each with unique apartment configurations.
- 40+ Upscale Amenities: From high-speed elevators to EV charging stations, trash chutes, rooftop views, and smart safety features.
- Smart Urban Design: 2 basement levels for parking, dedicated floors for amenities, 7 emergency exits, solar and backup energy, and luxury lobbies.
The Seven Towers redefines vertical living in Karachi by combining luxury, sustainability, and lifestyle in one iconic project, setting a new benchmark for high-rise living in Pakistan, making them the best apartments in Karachi.
Current Ongoing Projects Beyond Seven Towers
Along with The Seven Towers, Family Builders is simultaneously developing Avenue 50 and Avenue 54 on M.A. Jinnah Road with 2–5 bedroom apartments, all built to contemporary construction standards and specifications. Each of these upcoming apartment projects in Karachi has basement parking, high-speed lifts, porcelain tiles, privacy glass, and proper infrastructure for electric vehicles, meeting the needs of the contemporary urban family.
Leadership that Drives Vision
The heart of Family Builders' growth is Abdullah Tariq. To speak to Abdullah's leadership is to talk about someone who is involved on the ground floor, but also has a vision for the future. He does the floor plans, as well as the quality assurance, specifications, and materials himself! In doing so, Abdullah has developed more than buildings; he has developed a brand based on credibility and inspiration.
Why Family Builders Stands Out
In a crowded marketplace that is overwhelmed with real estate ventures, Family Builders has established a unique identity that is defined by trust, quality, and value in the long term. What differentiates Family Builders is not just the work and nature of their projects — it is the quality of thought and precision that is attached to those projects, and their people-first approach. Here is what makes them remarkable.
Proven Track Record
With 15+ projects delivered successfully and 5 notable, high-profile developments under construction, their track record speaks for itself.
Prime Locations
Whether building in Burns Road, PECHS, or Bahria Town, every Family Builders' project has been thoughtfully located for urban livability.
Design with Purpose
Whether a compact townhouse or a 35-storey tower, Family Builders' architectural philosophy is always people-oriented, and they create spaces to transition to the way we live today.
Community-Centric Values
Unlike a typical developer that seeks profit at all costs, Family Builders builds communities, reflected in their gated homes, mixed-use arrangements, and systems of family connectedness.
A Trusted Name for Karachi’s Future
As Karachi continues to evolve into a megacity, Family Builders and Developers is positioned to remain a signature component of its skyline. Their last twenty years have not just been a story of square feet-it has been about homes, communities, and the promise of even more innovation, more inclusion, and more excellence.
