Lakshmi Building, Art Deco commercial building at Muhammad Ali Jinnah Road intersection, Karachi, Pakistan.
The Lakshmi Building stands at the corner of Muhammad Ali Jinnah Road and Aiwan-e-Tijarat Road in the Mithadar district, displaying red bricks imported from Jaipur.
Constructed in 1938 by Hindustan Construction Company, this structure remained the tallest building in Karachi until Qamar House surpassed it in 1955.
The building originally featured a statue of Lakshmi on its roof, and Sarojini Naidu conducted its inauguration ceremony on Christmas Eve 1938.
The structure maintains its commercial function in central Karachi, connecting the Mithadar district with surrounding business areas through multiple access points.
The building incorporates a clock tower and contains one of the earliest iron elevators installed in Karachi, demonstrating 1930s engineering technologies.
