BankIslami Pakistan Limited has acquired KASB Altitude, a 32-storey commercial building, in Karachi, which it shall use as office premises.
However, the bank did not disclose the financial details of the acquisition in its notice to the Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX) on Tuesday.
“Pursuant to satisfactory due diligence, obtaining the requisite approvals, structural testing and consents, completing the necessary formalities, and execution of appropriate contracts, the Bank has successfully acquired KASB Altitude, a strategically located 32-storey commercial building in Clifton Block 1, Karachi, for the Bank’s office premises,” read the notice.
The purchase comes on the back of a strong financial performance by the bank.
