Park View City Islamabad is CDA-approved as of 26 July 2026, with both Layout Plan and NOC showing approved on the authority’s official register. But the recorded area is 1,067.90 Kanal — a fraction of what’s marketed. Here’s the verified legal timeline from 2013 to today, and how to check whether your specific block is covered.

Finishing a 5 marla house in Islamabad or Rawalpindi costs Rs 30 lakh to over 2 crore in 2026. Full scope, four tiers, and where the budget actually breaks.

Grey structure PKR 65–95 lakh; complete mid-range turnkey PKR 1.1–1.6 crore. Verified twin-cities rates, updated 23 July 2026.

CDA holds a three-day open auction of Islamabad commercial plots on August 4–6, 2026. Here’s what’s on offer, how bidding works, and what to verify first.
Milkiyat.com has published a fully sourced, sector-by-sector investigation into the possession crisis across five CDA sectors — E-12 (37 years), I-12, C-14, C-15 and C-16 — built entirely on Dawn, The News, APP, and CDA’s own records, with every figure hyperlinked and single-source estimates flagged. Happy to offer it for citation or syndication.

Grey structure, finishing, and the real all-in number: what a 1 Kanal house actually costs to build in Islamabad–Rawalpindi in 2026 — with July steel and cement rates verified against news sources, plus a realistic tier-by-tier budget.

Ask five contractors for a price on the same 5 marla plot and you’ll get five numbers. Here’s the honest 2026 breakdown for the twin cities — grey structure at PKR 60–75 lakh, turnkey at 1.0–1.5 crore — plus the current cement, steel and brick rates driving your budget. No dealer markup.

With the RDA declaring 293 schemes illegal and the CDA sealing 99 more, the era of selling undeveloped land is over. From July 1, 2026, the Green Property Certificate has become the only valid proof of ownership. If you are holding a file for a plot that doesn’t physically exist, you need to read this breakdown of the new regulatory landscape.

Twenty near-identical pages sell DHA Gandhara. None mention that their launch dates contradict each other, that no payment plan has been announced, or that what’s actually trading is a pre-balloted file rather than a plot.

Nobody regulates what your dealer charges you — except, technically, they do. A 1980 ordinance caps commission, licenses dealers, and punishes overcharging. Here’s the verified 2026 position.
