Everyone in Karachi recognizes the Sea View Building, a towering structure overlooking the Arabian Sea. Launched in 1992 as the Silver Sand Apartments, it was once marketed as a symbol of luxury coastal living.

But what began with promise soon descended into chaos. Construction violations, legal disputes, and regulatory challenges halted progress.

More than three decades later, the building stands incomplete and abandoned, a ghost of its grand vision, shrouded in mystery, controversy, and unanswered questions.
