About Sowcarpet
Sowcarpet is the wholesale trading quarter next to George Town — Mint Street and its side lanes — where old buildings hold shops on the ground floor and homes or godowns above. Plots are tiny and lanes are narrow, so construction is mostly rebuilding one building at a time, plus interior and upper-floor work.
Building work in Sowcarpet: Rebuilds of old shop-and-residence buildings; Interior and upper-floor works.
