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.
