Islamabad: The Securities and Exchange Commission of Pakistan (SECP) has registered three new Real Estate Investment Trust (REIT) schemes during January 2026, signalling continued growth and momentum in Pakistan’s REIT sector.
According to SECP, the newly registered schemes include two rental REIT schemes and one investment-based REIT scheme, approved under the revised Real Estate Investment Trust Regulations, 2022. With these additions, the total number of registered REIT schemes in Pakistan has increased to 28.
Rental REIT schemes are designed to pool investor funds for investment in income-generating rental real estate projects, while investment-based REIT schemes provide opportunities to earn capital gains through property-related investments.
Following their registration, the newly approved REIT schemes will now be eligible to raise funds from accredited investors, including financial institutions, corporates, insurance companies and high net-worth individuals.
SECP stated that the amended REIT regulations aim to establish clearer timelines and improve the visibility of REITs as a structured capital market product. Under the updated framework, both rental- and investment-based REIT schemes are required to be mandatorily listed within one year of the transfer of real estate in the name of the REIT scheme.
The regulator also noted that the REIT sector has shown significant expansion in recent years and holds strong potential to bring greater documentation, governance and transparency to Pakistan’s real estate market while improving investor protection.
