Port Grand Food Street

Here's a pic of how a portion of the Port Grand Food Street looks like as of today, of course construction is not complete yet. Why did they have to name one of the food courts "Baywatch Food Court"

[PAFAce]

What an absolutely incredible thread! I had no idea there was so much development going on in Pakistan. The best thing is, a lot of it is private work, rather than governmental projects, which is always good for the economy.

Keep up the good work boys.

it looks really good but i can't stop laughing at this baywatch food court lol did anyone else notice that they even got the same actual logo/font of the TV show !
I wonder who came up with this name

[AliFarooq]

i don't think they are going to name it baywatch

[AliFarooq]

They already did. That picture is of the construction site.

but looking at the renders, does not mention baywatch any where, it could be a random bill board

[ajpirzada]

i really want this project to be completed by 14th aug. im goin to pak in august and have got plans to visit karachi and other parts of sindh. im already thinkin of me eatin there

I think first Pakistan needs to get rid of the ill-wishers of Pakistan out of the country or else they are just going to blow themselves up in these beautiful buildings.
