A preliminary virtual meeting was held today, August 7, 2025, between the Federal Government Employees Housing Authority (FGEHA) and the international consulting firm A.T.

FGEHA has offered 11 valuable projects under the Public-Private Partnership (PPP) and Joint Venture (JV) models for potential partnership with international investors. These projects are located in prime areas of Islamabad, Rawalpindi, and Karachi, and include commercial, residential, educational, and healthcare facilities.
Initial discussions focused on two projects: an international-standard Five-Star Plus Hotel and a Hospital, with the hotel project recommended to be initiated as a pilot project. As per the directions of the Prime Minister of Pakistan, the Public Private Partnership Authority (P3A) has been engaged to prepare long-term investment planning and proposals for the project.
