EFU House

The EFU House, originally known as Qamar House, is a prominent Art Deco building located on Muhammad Ali Jinnah Road in central Karachi, Pakistan. Designed by Qamardin Mahomed Hashwani in 1945 and completed between 1946 and 1955, it was the tallest building in Karachi until 1968. The building features 12 floors and stands at 129 feet tall. Its architectural significance and historical importance are highlighted by its proximity to other colonial-era landmarks, such as the Karachi Port Trust Building and the Merewether Clock Tower. In 2002, it was acquired by the Eastern Federal Union, Pakistan's largest insurance company, and renamed EFU Building, serving as its head office. The building's legacy includes its recognition beyond Pakistan and the appointment of its architect as Honorary Architect for Pakistan by the Aga Khan.
