E-block or A-19? Wrong Numbering of Sectors?

If you look at wikimapia, b-17 e block is actually a-19.

Awt is not really d-18; in fact it seems that it is really d-19...

Etc.

Yes it seems like that on wikimapia… Mainly Zone I sectors are aligned with the grid, after that they are not in many cases and the grid style is not strictly followed. In B17, only A and B blocks are technically inside ICT, C D and E are outside ICT and that is why Multi had to get NOC from Taxila Administration for E block.

C block is part of Multi-Garden Phase 1. And Phase 1 is officially recognized by CDA as part of ICT. CDA has disputed Phase 2 which is D and E block as part of ICT.

Yes Pk1.. I meant on Wikimapia B17C is outside 17 series as ICT ends on 17 series.

Btw CDA says this regarding D&E blocks:

NOC for Planning issued on 16-09-2010. Sponsors of the scheme shall obtain Formal NOC from concerned Local Development Agency.

So, it seems that Multi did not seek an NOC from the concerned local administration and started development.

This is why I think that on the whole it seems that instead of block D or E of Multigarden it is better to consider Cabinet.

There is no question Cabinet is inside ICT and proper CDA approved sector. Plus Cabinet will benefit from Margalla Avenue and Tarnol Flyover. But E block is very far from GT Road so that it will not benefit from Margalla Avenue even as much as Cabinet.

Hmm.. You are the expert but I think that the distance between E-17/3 and B17E to MA is about the same.

I would consider B17B or D17 Margalla View as good options when it comes to Margalla Avenue or ICT.

Aggree with Junaid bhai, and yes, i also had this confusion in mind.

On Google Earth if we measure from the central park of E-17/3 and from the markaz of E block, the distance to Margalla Avenue is 1 kilometer less from E-17/3 park versus from E Block of Multi-Garden.

From Cabinet, you are also too much closer to Kashmir Highway as compared to Multi especially E-Block which is quite far inside.

Secondly, Cabinet is in ICT while E block is not in ICT. But if you choose B-Block Multi or D-17, you will be paying in the 6.5 to 8.5 million bracket for one kanal. On the other hand if you are buying in E-17/3, you will be paying in the 3.7 to 4 million bracket for one kanal.

So which is better value for money?

Yes but if you check with the path tool instead of the line tool then it is almost the same :)

The only exception could be if E-17/3 is connected with D-17 and that would reduce the distance by more than half a km.

Yes, when it comes to value for money, then E-17/3 is a clear winner, however that less price is due to a reason, don't you think. D-17 and B17B are more closer to MA and their development standard is better than Cabinet's.

The main reason for price of cabinet being lower than D-17 is that development in Cabinet happened much after development in D-17. So you have more houses already built and some markets already there. Cabinet is still not populated that much.

As for Multi price being higher, well it is Multi's brand, development standards plus the hype created by large number of very loyal property dealers!

Agreed Pk1 bro… :slight_smile:

What is the future prospectus of AWT Islamabad. Its a fully developed solid sector and motor way interchange is about to be opened in a month or two. What will be its consequences on its population.

Will the population increase there. The view from there is also beautiful plus fresh air is also available. Secondly it is a closer vacinity to new Benazir International Airport.

Thanks Pk1 and Junaid sb for this helpful and useful discussion.

BTW wat i personally feel for the remaining blocks of B-17 which seems to be outside ICT limits and falls under Taxila would not matter as such. The thing that matter is the standards and development which multi had maintained.

Cabinet needs to improve and fasten their pace to come up with the competetion of its neighbors JKCHS and Multi on the other side.

Cheers

In my view if we would think from living point of view the Multi will be better then Cabinet in terms of secuity arrangements and maintenance in the long run. This is my personal view, members can disagree.

Thanks
