The iconic Regent Plaza Hotel on Sharah-e-Faisal, Karachi, has officially been handed over to the Sindh Institute of Urology & Transplantation (SIUT).
This transition marks a significant shift, as the renowned hotel will now serve as a major healthcare facility. On Saturday evening, a banner reading “SIUT Trust Hospital” was prominently displayed on the building, signifying the change.
The purchase of Regent Plaza came to light in September last year when a letter of offer to buy the hotel for Rs.14.5 billion surfaced.
Since then, payments have been steadily made, culminating in the recent handover. Despite the visible changes, SIUT has not yet released an official statement regarding the commencement of hospital operations.
