Zameen.com has registered Punjab's first Real Estate Investment Trust, a milestone for organized property investment in the province. The trust, named Zameen Five, will channel investor money into five premium developments in Lahore: Zameen Quadrangle, Zameen Aurum and Zameen Neo in Gulberg, Zameen Jade in Sukh Chayn Gardens, and Zameen Phoenix on Main Canal Bank Road. The trust promises investors substantial returns through dividends paid as each project is completed and delivered. The timing plays into Lahore's appetite for vertical living: Gulberg alone has seen capital appreciation of more than seventy percent over the past two years, according to the announcement. Zameen Five has been set up under the REIT Regulations 2022 and registered under the Punjab Trusts Act 2020. Oversight looks institutional: the Central Depository Company acts as trustee, Savills Pakistan and MYK Associates, both approved by the Pakistan Banks Association, will evaluate progress, the Pakistan Credit Rating Agency is rating the fund, KPMG will audit it, and KTrade serves as financial adviser. For investors, the pitch includes tax exemption on profits, access to institutional grade assets, and regular scheduled cash flows. Buyers are promised a fix for the market's chronic complaint of late delivery, since assured funding should keep construction on schedule. The launch also spotlights Zameen 360, the company's single window service covering everything from land acquisition and design to approvals, marketing and facility management.
