Pakistan Town remains a mature residential enclave in the southeastern zone of Islamabad, a community that has drawn homebuyers and investors for decades thanks to its strategic positioning, well‑developed infrastructure, and comprehensive everyday amenities.
The project was originally launched under the Intelligence Bureau Employees Cooperative Housing Society (IBECHS), a cooperative that was formally registered with the Registrar of Cooperative Societies in Islamabad on April 24, 1983. Development began shortly after registration and unfolded in clearly defined phases: Phase 1 was laid out between 1982 and 1983 over roughly 1,272 kanals, representing the oldest and most settled part of the society with fully built homes, local markets and mature neighborhoods; Phase 2 was introduced around 1988‑1989 covering about 537 kanals and featuring broader internal roads and a newer neighborhood layout; and Phase 3, known as Gulberg Greens, expanded the development in the early 2000s, specifically between 2003 and 2004, along the main Islamabad Expressway.
Geographically, Pakistan Town enjoys strong connectivity. It sits approximately 9 to 10 kilometers from Koral Chowk when traveling along the Islamabad Expressway corridor. Residents arriving from Faizabad, Khanna Pul or Koral Chowk can reach the society via a dedicated link road that branches from the PWD roundabout, giving the community its own access route rather than relying on congested central arteries. Adjacent to the development, Korang Town shares the link‑road connectivity while maintaining a separate entrance from the expressway.
All essential utilities are already in place. Electricity and water are supplied continuously, an underground Sui gas network operates throughout the society, and telecommunication services together with broadband internet are widely available. Residents also benefit from functional mosques, schools, grocery stores, pharmacies and small community plazas that serve the daily needs of families.
Residential plot values vary according to several factors, including plot category, phase, block, street width, corner orientation and proximity to parks. In Phase 1, 5‑marla plots typically trade between PKR 1.25 crore and PKR 1.40 crore, while 10‑marla plots range from PKR 1.85 crore to PKR 1.90 crore, equating to an average per‑marla price of roughly PKR 18 lakh to PKR 20 lakh. Phase 2 commands higher prices because of its wider streets and more modern layout: 5‑marla plots are priced from PKR 1.40 crore to PKR 1.50 crore, and 1‑kanal plots range from PKR 2.50 crore to PKR 2.75 crore.
Commercial activity is robust, centered on the active PWD commercial spine that runs along the society’s boundary as well as on designated internal commercial strips. Compact 2.5‑marla commercial plots in Phase 1 and border sectors are priced around PKR 1.25 crore, suitable for small multi‑story buildings. In Phase 2, 3‑marla commercial plots are listed between PKR 1.25 crore and PKR 1.50 crore, while 5‑marla plots trade from PKR 2.0 crore to PKR 2.25 crore. Larger 6‑marla commercial plots start at approximately PKR 2.50 crore, with higher valuations possible depending on frontage and foot traffic.
Rental demand remains strong because of the high demand for housing along the expressway corridor. A newly completed 5‑marla independent home can command monthly rentals between PKR 55,000 and PKR 60,000. For investors constructing a residence, a basic single‑story grey‑structure on a standard 5‑marla plot typically adds PKR 60 lakh to PKR 70 lakh in construction costs, with premium finishes requiring additional spending. When land acquisition, building expenses and expected resale profit are combined, ready‑built homes in the area reflect substantial finished valuations.
Potential buyers should consider a few logistical points. Phase 1’s residential streets are notably narrow, often measuring less than 20 feet in width, which can limit vehicular movement and visitor parking. Additionally, the main access via the PWD roundabout experiences heavy traffic congestion during peak school and office commute periods due to the volume of traffic from surrounding societies.
Overall, Pakistan Town offers an established community with complete utility connections, reliable security oversight under the cooperative society, and consistent rental demand, making it a practical alternative to the costlier CDA sectors for buyers seeking value and convenience in Islamabad.
