2. Overseas Block

Overseas block of Capital Smart City Islamabad is reserved for overseas Pakistanis or expats. Because of its world-class facilities and prime location, this block has been the most demanded unit of Capital Smart City. Launched in January 2018, this block has been a great investment opportunity for overseas Pakistanis as it is especially designed to meet the living standards of foreign residents. Furthermore, Overseas block is the first to get possession and the possession has been announced in sectors A to K in Overseas East (Overseas Block-1).

3. Executive Block

After OS block had gained its due popularity, Capital Smart City Islamabad launched Executive block in early 2019 to offer the exact same facilities to the local residents of Pakistan. There were no new bookings for this block. When launched, non-overseas members were asked to submit certain dues on their respective files in order to be included in this block. This basically meant that they will get possession earlier than non-Executive members.

Before the first balloting event, FDH gave another opportunity to non-overseas members (general block – more on that later) to convert their plots into Executive Block by submitting upto 50% of the dues in order to be included in the first balloting.

The block is also divided into two phases. The first balloting of Executive phase 1 has been done for about 6,000 plots in December 2019. Possession in some sectors of the block has been granted.

4. Harmony Park Block

Harmony Park is now a part of the OS Central. This will create new prospects for opportunities.

Capital Smart City launched the bloc in April 2020, with a more affordable range of products including plots and villas. With the launch of the smaller sized commercial and residential plots in this block, the large scale and iconic housing project has become accessible by everyone.

Balloting for this block held on 30th May, 2022

Frequently Asked Questions

Where is General Block?

A common misconception is the existence of General block in Capital Smart City. If you look at the master plan, you would notice that there is no general block.
The name general block was adopted when Overseas block was launched. The plots that were not in Overseas were named as General block in the market. However, the society did not support the name “General” and launched Executive block a few months after Overseas block was launched.
Thus, all files that were not Overseas, will eventually be included in Executive block even though initially the society told members to convert to Executive by submitting certain dues.

Why is the location of Overseas block considered ideal?

It is speculated that Overseas block will be the closest to the main entrance at the dedicated interchange of M-2 motorway. This is also confirmed by the latest master plan of Capital Smart City released in December 2019. However, the exact and final location of the interchange has not been revealed yet. Nevertheless, Overseas block is adjacent to the Main Boulevard and closest to the Lake.

Booking. In order to book a commercial or residential plot in Overseas block, the applicant needs to present with the proof of foreign residence to prove the overseas status. However, the overseas block files can be resold to local residents as well.

Balloting of about 6,000 plots of Overseas East (previously known as Overseas Block-1) has been done and plot numbers have been allotted. The development of Overseas phase 1 is happening very rapidly. Possession in Overseas East (Overseas-1) sectors A to K was granted in June 2021.
