Faisal Town Phase 2 shows up constantly in Islamabad property searches right now, largely because of its location near the Thalian Interchange and a pricing structure that undercuts several better-known neighbours on the same stretch of the M-2. But it is also a project where marketing claims and regulatory reality do not fully line up — which makes it a useful case study in how to research a housing scheme properly before booking a plot.
What Is Faisal Town Phase 2?
Faisal Town Phase 2 is developed by the Faisal Town Group (in some marketing material referenced under Zedem International) as an extension of the original Faisal Town project near Fateh Jang Road. It is positioned close to the Thalian Interchange on the M-2 Motorway, placing it in the same general corridor as Capital Smart City, Blue World City, and DHA Gandhara.
The layout is organised into multiple sectors and blocks — commonly referenced as Sector O, P, Q, R, T, and X, plus an N Block and an Overseas Enclave — each with slightly different plot menus and pricing.
NOC Status: A Genuinely Mixed Picture
For Faisal Town Phase 2, this is the single most important thing to verify before considering Faisal Town Phase 2, and it is worth being direct about it: sources disagree. The developer’s own marketing pages state that an NOC has been approved and can be verified by reference number. Several independent property research sites, however, report that the Rawalpindi Development Authority (RDA) has not yet issued a No Objection Certificate for Phase 2, and that approval remains pending or “in process.” The original Faisal Town (Phase 1) does hold RDA approval over roughly 1,231 to 4,735 Kanal depending on the source, but Phase 1 approval does not automatically extend to Phase 2’s expansion area.
The practical takeaway: do not rely on any single website’s NOC claim, including this one. Before paying any booking amount, request the specific NOC reference number and verify it directly through the Rawalpindi Development Authority (RDA) official channels or in person at the RDA office. This single step is the most effective protection against buying into unapproved land in Islamabad’s outer corridor, where illegal and semi-legal housing schemes remain a well-documented risk.

| Factor | Detail |

Plot Sizes and Sector-Wise Pricing (Indicative)
Pricing varies by sector and moves frequently, so treat the figures below as a snapshot rather than a current quote — always confirm directly with the developer’s sales office before transacting.
| Plot Size | Approx. Discounted Price (PKR) |
|---|---|
| 5.56 Marla | ~2,790,000 |
| 8 Marla | ~3,730,000 – 4,990,000 |
| 10.89 Marla | ~4,850,000 – 6,590,000 |
| 14.22 Marla | ~6,060,000 – 8,350,000 |
| 1 Kanal | ~8,120,000 – 11,290,000 |
| 2 Kanal (residential/premium) | ~21,790,000 – 23,270,000 |
| Commercial (5.33 Marla) | ~13,390,000 – 16,990,000 |
Most sectors advertise a down payment between 20% and 35%, with the remainder split into either 36 monthly installments or quarterly installments for overseas buyers, spread over roughly three years. A cash-payment discount of up to 20% is commonly advertised for buyers who can pay the full price upfront, and most quoted prices already fold in development charges — though buyers should always ask for this in writing, since “development charges included” claims vary in how strictly developers honour them later.
Premium location charges typically apply on top of base prices: around 15% extra for main boulevard corner plots, 10% for main boulevard or proper corner plots, and roughly 5% for plots facing parks, lakes, or open green areas.
Sector Breakdown
- Sector P (Model Block / “The Caladan”) — the most detailed published payment plan, spanning 5.56 Marla up to 2 Kanal premium plots, with a flat PKR 20,000 registration fee per plot
- Sector T — marketed on proximity to the Thalian Interchange, offering the same core plot sizes at comparable discounted rates
- Sector O, Q, R and X — largely mirror Sector P’s pricing tiers with minor positioning differences
- N Block — aimed at buyers who prefer steady monthly installments over quarterly payments
- Overseas Enclave — quarterly payment structure designed around international income cycles
- Commercial plots / 350 ft Main Boulevard — 25% down payment with quarterly installments, positioned for higher footfall and long-term commercial appreciation
Is Faisal Town Phase 2 a Good Investment?
Whether Faisal Town Phase 2 is worth buying into depends heavily on how the NOC situation resolves. If RDA approval is confirmed and verifiable at the time you are ready to buy, the pricing is genuinely competitive against neighbouring schemes like Capital Smart City, and the Thalian Interchange location gives reasonable motorway access. If the NOC remains unresolved, the entire investment case weakens considerably, regardless of how attractive the payment plan looks, because unapproved land carries real risk of demarcation disputes, delayed development, or in the worst cases, demolition orders.
Buyers who have a higher risk tolerance and are buying purely on price sometimes proceed anyway, treating the lower cost as compensation for the regulatory uncertainty. That is a legitimate strategy, but it should be a conscious decision rather than an oversight — go in with eyes open, not on the strength of a brochure claim alone.
Verification Checklist
- Request the exact NOC reference number and verify it directly with RDA — do not accept a verbal or website-only confirmation
- Confirm which specific sector and block your plot number sits in, since NOC status can differ between Phase 1 land and Phase 2 expansion land
- Get the “development charges included” claim in writing before paying
- Ask for the registration fee and any premium location charges upfront, before signing
- Cross-check the payment plan you’re quoted against at least two independent sources, since blocks and sectors are frequently renamed or repriced

Final Thoughts
Faisal Town Phase 2’s pricing and location make it an understandably popular search term, but this is exactly the kind of project where “deep research” has to mean picking up the phone to RDA rather than trusting the first payment-plan page you land on. If the NOC checks out at the time you are ready to buy, it is a reasonably priced option in a well-connected corridor. If it doesn’t, no discount is large enough to offset the risk. For readers who prefer to invest closer to Islamabad’s established commercial core instead, our guide to the New Blue Area master plan covers a project with a very different risk profile.
