Faisal Residencia has a total of 3,248 plots spread across the E-17/1 and E-17/4 sectors of Islamabad. This guide breaks down every plot size and dimension, the residential-to-commercial split, the planned amenities, how much is actually built so far, and how the layout compares to sister projects; all in simple words, with tables.
Master Plan at a Glance
| Fact | Detail |
|---|---|
| Sectors | E-17/1 and E-17/4 |
| Total Plots | 3,248 |
| Residential Plots | 3,159 |
| Commercial Plots | 89 |
| Layout Plan (LOP) Approved | 29 March 2022, by CDA |
| Structure | Organised by sub-sector and plot category — no named blocks (unlike Faisal Hills) |
| Zoning | Residential sectors, commercial zone, green spaces, community facilities |
1. Faisal Residencia Plot Sizes and Dimensions
Here’s the full, consolidated dimension table — something most individual pages don’t lay out in one place:
| Plot Size | Dimensions | Area |
|---|---|---|
| 5.56 Marla | 25 x 50 feet | 139 sq. yards |
| 8 Marla | 30 x 60 feet | 200 sq. yards |
| 10.89 Marla | 35 x 70 feet | 272 sq. yards |
| 14.22 Marla | 40 x 80 feet | 356 sq. yards |
| 1 Kanal | 50 x 90 feet | 500 sq. yards |
Commercial Plot Sizes
The developer has not consistently published exact commercial plot dimensions. Ask the sales office directly for commercial plot dimensions before booking one.
2. Residential vs. Commercial Plot Breakdown
| Category | Plot Count | Share of Total |
|---|---|---|
| Residential | 3,159 | ~97.3% |
| Commercial | 89 | ~2.7% |
What the Commercial Zone Is Planned to Include
- Retail outlets and shops
- Office space
- Mixed-use buildings
- A dedicated commercial markaz
Why the Small Commercial Share Matters
With commercial plots making up under 3% of the total, competition for footfall and business among commercial plot owners is likely to be lower than in societies with a bigger dedicated commercial district, but it also means fewer plots to choose from if you’re specifically looking for retail or rental income potential.
Who Each Category Suits
| Buyer Type | Best Fit |
|---|---|
| End-users (want to build a home) | Residential plots, especially mid-range sizes (8–14 Marla) |
| Land-banking investors | Any residential size, held long-term pending NOC approval |
| Commercial/rental-income buyers | For the limited commercial plots, confirm exact dimensions and location first |
3. Amenities and Facilities in the Master Plan
The core planned facilities: parks, mosques, schools, and a commercial boulevard, plus a longer list of smaller features.
| Amenity | Detail |
|---|---|
| Parks & Green Belts | Multiple parks; one source cites 600 feet of green belt (exact scope unclear) |
| Mosques | Present in the design across sectors |
| Educational Institutes | Six educational institutes planned |
| Health Centers | Planned within the community |
| Sports & Recreation | Sports complex, playgrounds, football grounds |
| Community Centers | Planned gathering spaces |
| Commercial Boulevard | Main boulevard anchoring the commercial zone |
| Other | Gardens, a lake feature (per some sources), filling stations |
Infrastructure Basics
| Feature | Detail |
|---|---|
| Roads | Planned as 40 feet wide in places, up to 80 feet on main routes |
| Electricity | Underground provision |
| Gas | Sui gas connection planned |
| Water | Uninterrupted water supply, underground lines |
| Sewerage | Modern sewerage management system referenced in marketing materials |
| Security | Gated community, boundary wall |
4. How Much of the Master Plan Is Actually Built?
| Claim | Source Type | Reliability Note |
|---|---|---|
| “Steady progress” in 2026, several sectors nearing completion | Developer-affiliated | Not independently verified |
| Main boulevard and internal streets developed in key areas | Developer-affiliated | Not independently verified |
| Basic utilities (roads, drainage) completed in parts of the society | Developer-affiliated | Not independently verified |
| ~30–40% developed (mid-2023 estimate) | Third-party marketing-adjacent source | Dated, and not from an independent audit |
| 2022: described as a “flop project,” land not fully purchased | Independent industry report | The clearest independent data point available, though now a few years old |
The honest picture: every recent progress claim we found traces back to sources with a financial interest in the project looking good. The most independent-sounding data point is the 2022 “flop project” report — which is now dated. There’s a real gap between then and now that isn’t filled by reliable, disinterested reporting.
What to Verify During a Site Visit
1. Compare the developer’s marketing map against what’s actually built on each specific sector
2. Check whether roads are paved or still dirt/graded only
3. Ask whether utilities (electricity, gas, water) are actually connected, not just “planned”
4. Look for any of the six educational institutes or planned health centres physically under construction
5. Talk to any residents or workers on-site, not just the sales team
5. How Faisal Residencia’s Master Plan Compares to Sister Projects
Faisal Residencia is more compact and simply organised than the larger, block-structured Faisal Hills and Faisal Town Phase 2.
| Feature | Faisal Residencia | Faisal Hills | Faisal Town Phase 2 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Structure | Sectors only (E-17/1, E-17/4) — no named blocks | Named blocks: Executive, Prime, A, B, B-Extension, C, D, Hills Estate View | Multiple sectors/blocks: Model Block (Sector O), Overseas Enclave, General Block, and more |
| Total Land | 1220.60 Kanal (based on approved LOP) | 11,823.5 Kanal (confirmed via RDA NOC) | ~80,000–100,000 Kanal |
| Total Plots | 3,248 | 32,000+ | 66,000+ residential plots planned |
| NOC Status | Pending (CDA) | Approved (RDA) | Under process (RDA/PHATA) |
What a Simpler Layout Means for Buyers
Faisal Residencia’s lack of named blocks makes it easier to understand at a glance; there’s no need to compare a dozen block tiers against each other. But it also means there’s no “Executive Block” style premium tier to choose into, and less publicly available granularity on which specific zones are furthest along in development. Buyers who like Faisal Hills’ clear block-by-block price and progress differentiation may find Faisal Residencia’s flatter structure less informative by comparison.
6. What to Check Before Choosing a Plot in Faisal Residencia
Three practical checks before you commit to a specific plot:
1. Confirm the exact sector — E-17/1 or E-17/4, and how close it sits to the amenities you care about (schools, parks, commercial zone)
2. Compare corner vs. non-corner and boulevard-facing plots; these typically carry different pricing in Pakistani societies generally, and Faisal Residencia is likely no exception
3. Cross-check the developer’s marketing map against the CDA-approved layout plan for consistency; a mismatch between the two is a real warning sign
Questions to Ask the Developer
- What is the specific sector/plot number for the exact plot being offered?
- What are its exact dimensions, matching the standard sizes above?
- What is the current development status of that specific plot’s sector; roads, utilities, and any nearby amenities?
- Can you provide this in writing, with reference to the CDA-approved layout plan?
