Executive block was launched in May 2019 with the promise of early possession. General members (non-overseas) were given the option to convert their block to Executive block by paying outstanding and some advance dues.
December 2020 marked one and a half (1.5) years since the launch of Executive block. Possession in 1.5 years against a payment plan of 3 to 3.5 years is indeed a major milestone for the management. More on that in the next section.
Possession Schedule of Executive Block-1
Here is the possession schedule of Executive block-1 as announced in October 2021.
| Sector | Possession starts from | Dues cleared up to |
|---|---|---|

Is Executive Block really getting possession in 1.5 years?
As already mentioned, possession in December 2020 implies 1.5 years since the launch of Executive block against a payment plan of 3 to 3.5 years. It is indeed a major milestone for the management and will set a new standard in the real estate industry of Islamabad.
However, it should be kept in mind that Executive block is not different from General block. In fact, there is no General block in Capital Smart City (We covered that here ). Most of the executive members might have booked their plots more than two years before possession.
Nevertheless, even if you booked your plot during the pre-launch phase at a payment plan of 3.5 years, you will get possession within the stipulated time provided that you have been paying all due installments in time.
Capital Smart City has once again claimed that all members will get possession within 3 to 4 years after the date of purchase given that they clear all dues on time.
Considering the current pace of development, it can be expected that the claim made by Capital Smart City is not empty!
Who is Eligible to apply for possession in Capital Smart City?
