Over the past few years, we have seen a mushroom growth of housing and real estate projects across Pakistan. When it comes to real estate projects though, metropolitan cities like Islamabad, Rawalpindi, Lahore, and Karachi remain the epicenter of such activities.
However, announcing and initiating a housing project is one thing, and making it livable for the masses is a different challenge altogether. Even when we talk of decent housing projects, at least on paper, they at times also take years and decades to become fully livable.
This is because doing the landscaping and plotting is just a small component of developing any housing project. The actual challenge lies in making that project livable, sustainable, and most importantly, viable for the masses. Only then would people actually consider moving there on a permanent basis.
Capital Smart City – A Project that Ticks all the Right Boxes
Habib Rafiq Limited (HRL), a premier development company of Pakistan, with multi-billion rupee successful projects delivered under its belt, announced the first purpose built smart city of Pakistan in Islamabad, by the name of Capital Smart City (CSC).
The project is designed to become a fully sustainable smart city of Pakistan, set to be the crown jewel of the twin cities of Islamabad and Rawalpindi. Being developed by HRL as per international standards, the project ticks all the right boxes, and is well poised to achieve its true potential.
Despite fast track and highest quality development, CSC could not attract residents on a mass scale. As a leading real estate developer of Pakistan, the management of CSC decided to proactively address this issue, by launching the Initiative 2024, which is a comprehensive roadmap to make CSC a fully livable housing project in a matter of just a few months.
Sneak Peek Event for Initiative 2024
To make this initiative official, the management of CSC arranged a grand event at CSC, by the name of Sneak Peek Event of Initiative 2024. Here are the major initiatives that were announced by CSC on this grand event, which will truly make it a livable project very soon:-
24/7 Security and Surveillance – Up to 3 Tiers
When moving to a lesser populated area, security and safety are the major concerns for any resident. CSC has addressed this issue by offering 24/7 security and surveillance, for up to 3 tiers, to all residents.
- Tier 1 – Security at all the entrance and exit points of the project.
- Tier 2 – Every sector will have an additional layer of security.
- Tier 3 – For structures like schools, businesses, multi-story residential apartments, dedicated security personnel can also be assigned.
Uninterrupted Power Supply
The management of CSC is offering 24/7, un-interrupted power supply to all its residents, which is a huge plus. Moreover, the underground wiring of this project not only adds to its aesthetic appeal, but also adds a dimension of safety and practicality.
Functional Schools, Mosques and other Utilities
Schooling and easy access to mosques is also a basic need of residents. CSC has addressed these needs by fully operationalizing schools, providing highest quality education to the children of residents.
Similarly, at least four state of the art “Jamia” Mosques are fully operational, catering to the religious and spiritual needs of residents. Other basic amenities like grocery or convenience stores are also functional, to address the day to day needs of residents.
Entertainment and Recreational Facilities
To fulfil the entertainment and recreational needs of residents, CSC is in advanced stages of developing international quality adventure parks, which will be equipped with state of the art facilities like kids play areas, ziplines, and even water sports.
Free Maintenance Services for 1 Year
In lesser populated areas, having access to skilled labor like electrician, plumber or carpenter is quite challenging. CSC has addressed this concern by offering maintenance staff free of charge, for 1 year, for any minor repairs to your property, whether it is a house, apartment or office etc.
Subsidized Transport Facility for Easy Mobility
Due to less population, having access to public transport can be challenging. CSC has addressed this need by offering subsidized transport facilities to its residents in the following ways:-
- Shuttle service from CSC to the New Islamabad International Airport.
- Another shuttle service will take residents from CSC to Islamabad city center and back, where they can easily access intra and inter city transport.
- As a special case, residents may also avail dedicated rides, on similar footing as ride hailing services like Uber, Careem and Yango.
Conclusion
The revolutionary steps being undertaken by the management of CSC clearly demonstrate its unwavering commitment to make Capital Smart City one of the most sought after housing projects of the twin cities of Islamabad and Rawalpindi.
