Faisal Residencia includes 89 commercial plots out of 3,248 total plots; that part is consistent across sources. Almost everything else about the commercial category, including sizes, prices, and even legal approval status, is inconsistent or actively contradicted across pages, sometimes even on the same website. This guide walks through what’s confirmed, what’s disputed, and what you should verify yourself before considering a commercial plot here.
Quick Answer
| Question | What We Found |
|---|---|
| How many commercial plots? | 89 out of 3,248 (~2.7%) — consistent across sources |
| What sizes? | Various – exact information not released by the developer |
| What price? | Contact the official management |
| Are commercial plots NOC-approved? | Society’s LOP is cleared; final NOC not issued by CDA yet |
1. What Do We Actually Know About Faisal Residencia’s Commercial Plots?
The one number that holds up: 3,159 residential plots and 89 commercial plots; that’s roughly 2.7% of the total inventory.
Beyond that, things get inconsistent fast:
- Sizes: There is no official information about the Faisal Residencia commercial plot sizes.
- Prices: The developer has released no pricing information.
2. The NOC Contradiction Buyers Should Know About
Here’s something you need to see directly, because it’s a genuine, documented contradiction; not a maybe.
The Faisal Residencia Islamabad NOC is under review at the Capital Development Authority (CDA). Similarly, the commercial plots in the society have not yet been approved by the CDA. So, sources claiming that the commercial plots in Faisal Residencia are fully NOC-approved are wrong.
We recommend visiting the CDA’s official website to confirm the society’s legal status.
How to Verify This Yourself
1. Contact CDA’s Directorate of Housing Societies directly and ask specifically about Faisal Residencia’s NOC status for the project as a whole, since commercial plots don’t get separate approval
2. If a salesperson tells you commercial plots are “CDA approved,” ask them to provide the specific CDA reference document or letter number proving it
3. Don’t accept a verbal or website claim of approval; request written, dated proof
3. Where Faisal Residencia’s Commercial Zone Sits in the Master Plan
Commercial plots are positioned to serve the residential population directly, retail, offices, and services within reach of the surrounding housing sectors, spread across E-17/1 and E-17/4.
| Location Type | Investor Interest |
|---|---|
| Corner plots | Commonly noted as commanding premium interest |
| Main boulevard-facing | Highest visibility, similarly favoured |
| Interior plots | Lower profile, generally less sought after |
Nearby established commercial activity, F-17 Markaz and other neighbouring societies, offers a useful demand reference point: it shows the general area can support retail activity, though that doesn’t guarantee the same success within Faisal Residencia’s own, still-developing commercial zone.
4. What a Benchmark from a Sister Project Suggests About Pricing
Since Faisal Residencia’s own commercial pricing isn’t published, here’s an illustrative, not equivalent, reference point from sister project Faisal Town Phase 2:
| Faisal Town Phase 2 Example | Detail |
|---|---|
| Plot size | 8.88 Marla (222.22 sq. yd) |
| Price | ~PKR 31.17 million (~PKR 140,000/sq. yd) |
| Payment terms | 25% down payment, 16 quarterly instalments |
Important caveats:
- Faisal Town Phase 2 has a different NOC status and jurisdiction (RDA, not CDA) than Faisal Residencia
- This figure reflects Faisal Town Phase 2’s specific location and development stage, not Faisal Residencia’s
- This comparison can reasonably suggest a rough per-square-yard pricing pattern for Faisal Town Group commercial plots generally; it should not be read as a specific price expectation for Faisal Residencia
Why You Shouldn’t Assume Equivalent Pricing
Location, NOC status, and development stage all affect commercial plot value independently. A project with an approved NOC and visible development (even under a different jurisdiction) will generally command different pricing than one still awaiting approval; treat the Faisal Town Phase 2 figure as context, not a quote.
5. Investment Potential and Realistic Risk Factors
Upside Case
- A growing residential population within the society, if development proceeds, could eventually support real retail and service demand
- Scarcity, only 89 plots, could support stronger long-term value if the project develops as planned
Risk Case
- The project’s overall NOC remains pending
- Commercial pricing is unpublished, so you can’t reliably judge whether a quoted price is fair
- The sizing and approval claims across sources are directly contradictory, which itself is a red flag about the quality of available information
Questions to Ask Before Committing
1. What is the exact plot size and location being offered?
2. What is the current price, in writing, with a date?
3. What is the payment schedule specific to this plot?
4. Can you provide documentation proving any NOC or approval claim tied specifically to commercial plots?
6. How to Proceed If You’re Considering a Commercial Plot
1. Request the current official commercial plot list, sizes, and prices directly in writing; don’t rely on any website’s claims
2. Ask for documentation behind any NOC or approval claim tied specifically to commercial plots, given the contradiction documented above
3. Use the Faisal Town Phase 2 benchmark only as a sanity check, never as a guarantee of what you’ll be quoted
Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: What sizes are available for Faisal Residencia commercial plots?
The commercial plot sizes in Faisal Residencia are not officially announced by the Faisal Town Group management.
Q2: Are Faisal Residencia commercial plots fully NOC-approved?
The society has an NOC pending at CDA, so the commercial plots are unapproved.
Q3: How much does a commercial plot cost in Faisal Residencia?
The developer has not provided pricing information.
Q4: Can I get a payment plan for a commercial plot at Faisal Residencia?
Although residential plots are available for cash only, confirm the Faisal Residencia commercial payment schedule with the developer.
Q5: Is investing in Faisal Residencia’s commercial plots riskier than residential plots?
Arguably yes; right now, the added uncertainty around unpublished pricing and NOC delays specific to the commercial category goes beyond the project’s already-known residential risk profile.
Conclusion
Faisal Residencia’s commercial plots represent a small (89-plot) and comparatively under-documented slice of the master plan. Beyond the confirmed plot count, no official sizing or pricing information is available. Furthermore, the CDA has not approved the NOC for commercial plots.
