Karachi waterfront property prices, October 2026
New apartments in the three HMR Waterfront towers still selling in DHA Phase 8, Karachi, started at about PKR 40,600 per sq ft in October 2026 (derived from HMR Group’s Goldcrest Bay Sands II example), and sea-facing units in Beach Terraces by Metro were priced from PKR 44,000, according to HMR’s sales team. Resales in HMR Waterfront’s sea-facing towers were asking PKR 48,000 to 50,000 per sq ft and trading at PKR 44,000 to 46,000.
Emaar Pakistan publishes no price per sq ft for Emaar Oceanfront, and its project pages start at PKR 5.9 crore (Park Edge) as of 30 October 2026. On Zameen, 303 flats listed at Emaar Oceanfront between 7 September and 30 October 2026 had a median listing asking price of PKR 41,109 per sq ft, against PKR 41,849 for 421 HMR Waterfront listings over the same weeks.
Where the Karachi waterfront price figures come from
The HMR Waterfront figures come from HMR Group’s sales briefing to Salwa Real Estate on 23 October 2026. “Asking” means the price a seller or HMR quotes, and “trading” means the price HMR’s sales team said units actually change hands at. Each figure below carries the basis the speaker gave, such as a sea-facing two-bedroom.
The Emaar Oceanfront figures come from Emaar Pakistan’s project pages at pk.emaar.com, read on 31 October 2026, with the date each page was last updated. Emaar shows a “from” price and a “from” size on each page without saying they describe the same apartment, so Waterfront Karachi does not divide one by the other.
Listing asking prices come from every active flat-for-sale ad on Zameen’s HMR Waterfront and Emaar Crescent Bay pages, read on 31 October 2026. They are prices agents advertised, often for the same unit more than once, and 154 of the 421 HMR Waterfront ads mention a booking or down payment, so they mix new units with resales. They are not market values.
HMR Waterfront prices per sq ft by tower
HMR Waterfront is HMR Group’s 33.12-acre community of 18 towers on Abdul Sattar Edhi Avenue, DHA Phase 8. The table gives HMR’s figures from 23 October 2026 and the Zameen median listing asking price (with the number of ads) for each tower.
| Tower | Status (Oct 2026) | Handover | New asking per sq ft (PKR) | Resale or trading per sq ft (PKR) | Zameen listing median (ads) | Source and month |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| H1 Tower | Resales only | June 2027 | Sold out | Asking 48,000 to 50,000; trading 44,000 to 46,000 (sea-facing 2-bed) | 4 ads, too few | HMR briefing, Oct 2026 |
| Saima Tower | Resales only | December 2028 | Sold out | Asking 48,000 to 50,000; trading about 45,000 to 46,000 (sea-facing) | 42,857 (49) | HMR briefing; Zameen, Oct 2026 |

| Beach Terraces by Metro | New units on sale | December 2030 | From 44,000 (sea-facing); from 41,000 (partial sea view) | Not applicable | 41,000 (35) | HMR briefing; Zameen, Oct 2026 |
| The Tilt | New units on sale | December 2030 | About 45,000 (sea-facing 3-bed, 2,880 sq ft), on HMR’s payment plan; awaiting confirmation | Not applicable | 41,993 (48) | HMR payment plan; Zameen, Oct 2026 |
| Goldcrest Bay Sands II | New units on sale | Not given | About 40,600 to 41,800 (derived) | Not applicable | Counted with phase I | HMR briefing; Zameen, Oct 2026 |
The Goldcrest Bay Sands II figure is derived by Waterfront Karachi from HMR’s own example of an 862 sq ft one-bedroom at about PKR 3.5 to 3.6 crore. HMR’s sales team said on 23 October 2026 that new stock remains only in Beach Terraces by Metro, The Tilt and Goldcrest Bay Sands II, all on the beachfront belt, and that the other towers sell only through resales or cancellations.
The Tilt’s PKR 45,000 per sq ft comes from HMR’s payment plan for a sea-facing three-bedroom of 2,880 sq ft, shared during the October 2026 briefing, and awaits confirmation on a current HMR price sheet.
Emaar Oceanfront prices by project
Emaar Oceanfront is Emaar Pakistan’s 75-acre community in DHA Phase 8, home to more than 1,000 families according to Emaar’s April 2026 community page. The table gives Emaar’s “from” prices and sizes and the Zameen median listing asking price per sq ft for each project.

Payment plans at HMR Waterfront and Emaar Oceanfront
HMR Group’s standard plan for its pre-launch towers, as described on 23 October 2026, takes 20% within three months, about 55% in instalments, 7.5% when the structure completes, 7.5% when finishing starts and 10% at handover. HMR can approve up to 15% at handover. Beach Terraces by Metro runs on a 4.3-year plan and Goldcrest Bay Sands II on a four-year plan.
At Emaar Oceanfront, Park Edge takes 10% down and 14 instalments of 6.42% over three years, and Park Grand takes 10% down, 65% in 10 quarterly instalments and 25% at handover, according to Emaar’s pages updated on 30 October 2026. The HMR Waterfront vs Emaar Oceanfront guide sets the two communities side by side.
What the October 2026 Karachi waterfront prices do not show
This October 2026 report is the first Waterfront Karachi price report, so it has no month-on-month change. The November 2026 report will add the change for every tower against these figures.
Prices per sq ft at HMR Waterfront and Emaar Oceanfront change with floor, view and the share paid up front, so units in one tower can be priced far apart. HMR’s resale figures cover sea-facing units, while the Zameen ads mix every view, new units and resales.
The Zameen figures also disagree with HMR in places. HMR quoted Saima Tower resales at PKR 48,000 to 50,000 per sq ft asking, while the 49 Saima Tower ads on Zameen had a median of PKR 42,857, and HMR said AA Beachfront had sold while 26 Zameen ads still offered units there.
None of these figures includes running costs. HMR estimated HMR Waterfront’s maintenance charge at PKR 35 to 40 per sq ft a month in October 2026, once the community is running.
