Islamabad: The Federal Government Employees Housing Authority (FGEHA) has announced the launch of new housing projects in 13 major cities across Pakistan under its revised joint venture framework. The move follows the formal approval of the “JV and PPP Rules 2025,” which aim to attract private sector participation by ensuring stronger legal protections for investors and developers.
According to officials, the new rules have been designed to address past challenges that hindered joint venture projects, particularly the lack of investor safeguards under the previous 2020 framework. The updated policy is expected to create a more secure and appealing environment for private entities, including developers, landowners, corporate bodies, and qualified individuals.
The cities identified for these upcoming projects include Islamabad, Rawalpindi, Attock, Lahore, Peshawar, Quetta, Multan, Faisalabad, Sargodha, Hyderabad, Abbottabad, Gujranwala, and Karachi.
In a statement to the Associated Press of Pakistan (APP), FGEHA officials confirmed that a significant number of expressions of interest (EOIs) have already been received since the new rules were enacted. The authority is inviting additional EOIs from interested parties until June 30, 2025.
The projects are part of the government’s broader effort to meet rising housing demand—particularly for federal government employees—while also catering to the general public.
Authorities expressed confidence that the refined JV and PPP rules would not only help close Pakistan’s housing gap but also foster long-term partnerships between the public and private sectors in the real estate development space.
