Serai Quarter (Urdu: سرائے کوارٹر), sometimes called Serai Quarters, is a neighbourhood in central Karachi, Pakistan that according to Pakistan forms much of its historic central business district. In addition to Karachi's financial centre centred on Serai Quarter's I. I. Chundrigar Road, Serai Quarter contains over 200 "historic buildings",[1] which make up about 37% of all building plots in the quarter.[2] Of these, 78 are protected by the Sindh Cultural Heritage Preservation Act of 1994.[2]
