The Rafi Group has given the city of Lahore some notable buildings. It has pioneered multi-purpose commercial complexes. Central Plaza in Garden Town and Empress Towers on Empress Road are noteworthy examples of our efforts in this regard. Empire Centre in Main Boulevard Gulberg introduced a new concept of a shopping mall. Green Acres farm-housing scheme was the first of its kind in the suburbs of Lahore. It attracted the Lahore elite who bought plots and constructed their houses collectively there.

We are innovative in our outlook and welcome change. A No magic formula or shortcut to be sure. The secret, perhaps, lies in our professional attitude. The clients have confidence in us.
