Qamar House, Art Deco building in central Karachi, Pakistan.
The twelve-story Qamar House rises 129 feet high with a total floor area of 268,056 square feet along Muhammad Ali Jinnah Road.
Designed by Qamardin Mahomed Hashwani in 1945, the structure maintained its status as the tallest building in Karachi until the Habib Bank Plaza completion in 1968.
The building represents the transition from colonial architecture to modern Pakistani design principles, marking the evolution of urban development after independence.
Currently operating as the EFU Building, the structure serves as the headquarters for Eastern Federal Union, Pakistan's largest insurance company since 2002.
The Sindh Government designated Qamar House as a National Heritage Monument in 2011, recognizing its architectural significance in Karachi's skyline.
