Park View City Islamabad is one of Pakistan’s most ambitious and fastest-growing residential communities. Located in Zone IV near Bani Gala, developed by Vision Group, and approved by the Capital Development Authority (CDA), it offers a rare combination of scenic beauty, modern infrastructure, and strong investment returns.
Whether you are a first-time homebuyer, a seasoned real estate investor, or an overseas Pakistani looking to invest back home — this guide covers everything you need to know about Park View City Islamabad in 2025 and 2026.
Table of Contents
Park View City Islamabad was launched in 2018 and is nestled within the scenic Islamabad Capital Territory. Designed to harmonize with the iconic botanical gardens and the Capital Development Authority’s farming project, it offers a blend of natural beauty and modern living. Spanning an impressive 15,000 kanals, this visionary project has become a hallmark of luxury and quality living, with over 6,000 kanals already developed — including residential houses and commercial buildings. 
Formerly called Malot, Park View City has quickly become an attraction for many investors. This is not just a residential project — it is a lifestyle elevation that offers top-notch amenities and spectacular views. Conceptualized with the future in mind, it is a safe and family-friendly community where contemporary urban living fuses with nature’s grandeur. 
Park View City is also notable for being home to Pakistan’s first Dubai-style downtown, complete with a 100-kanal lake and dancing fountain — a feature that has made it a tourist destination within Islamabad itself.
Who Is Abdul Aleem Khan?
Abdul Aleem Khan is the owner of Park View City under the name of Vision Group. He is the owner of Samaa News TV Channel and a former Member of the Punjab Assembly. Established in 2012, Vision Group has shown tremendous progress over a short span of time and managed to become an established development company well within a decade. 
Aleem Khan has held key posts in Punjab and Pakistan. Vision Group, his company, is engaged in diverse industries including real estate, pharmaceuticals, education, and construction. The Group is developing corporate towers, luxury apartments, and malls, with ambitions to contribute to Dubai’s development. 
The Vision Group has worked on milestone projects including the Abdul Aleem Khan Foundation, Park View Corporate Center Lahore, The National School, Park View Signature Apartments Gulberg Lahore, and Park View Icon Karachi, providing the best aesthetic and infrastructural outlook in all of these developments. 
The developer’s proven portfolio across multiple Pakistani cities — Lahore, Karachi, and now Islamabad — is a strong signal of credibility. The fact that banks like Silk Bank and Bank Alfalah have extended mortgage facilities to Park View City buyers further validates the developer’s standing.
Where Is Park View City Located?
Park View City Islamabad is located in Zone IV, near Bani Gala. It is easily accessible via Malot Road, which connects to the Islamabad Expressway, and is just minutes away from Serena Hotel, Rawal Lake, Islamabad Club, and Bhara Kahu. 
The real estate project lies midway between the Simly and Kuri Dam roads. Bahria Enclave, another prominent housing project, is in the vicinity.

The housing society has a 400-foot-wide Main Boulevard, which grants direct access to the society from the highway. It is also accessible via Kurri Road and Banigala. 
The society is located at Malot Road, opposite Bahria Enclave, at a distance of only 15 minutes from Zero Point Islamabad.

Understanding the legal history of Park View City is essential before investing. Here is the complete, chronological timeline:
June 1, 2018 — Initial NOC Granted
Park View City Islamabad holds an officially approved No Objection Certificate (NOC) from the Capital Development Authority (CDA), granted on June 1, 2018, under letter No. CDA/PLW/Zone-4(94)/12/Vol-I/168. 
2020 — Land Encroachment Allegation
The Capital Development Authority (CDA) confirmed in a report submitted to the Islamabad High Court that government land was encroached upon to connect the Park View Housing Society to Kuri Road. The housing developer had claimed they built a road on land allocated for this purpose, but the CDA’s report revealed that to be false. 
2021 — NOC Suspended by Islamabad High Court
The approval was later suspended by the Islamabad High Court in 2021 due to legal issues.  This was a period of significant uncertainty for plot buyers, and it is an important part of the society’s history that any serious investor should be aware of.
October 20, 2022 — NOC Reinstated by Supreme Court
The defining major milestone for Park View City was the restoration and reissuance of its NOC by the Supreme Court of Pakistan on October 20, 2022, which cleared all legal hurdles. 
Park View City regained its approval from CDA via letter no. CDA/PLW/RP/4/94/2019/Vol-IV/2022/507. The approval was granted to Mr. Omer Farooq Mannan, CEO of Park View City Pvt. Ltd. 
Current Legal Status (2025–2026)
Park View City is currently a fully CDA-approved, legally valid housing society. Due to this restored legal position, banks like Silk Bank and Bank Alfalah provide financing facilities. Residents are able to get utility connections and start building without any hesitation, which enhances resale value and investor confidence. 
The master plan of Park View City, spread over 15,000+ kanals, is a result of meticulous urban engineering aimed at preserving the natural topography. 
The master plan features residential and commercial blocks with plot sizes ranging from 5 Marla to 2 kanals. Plots are categorized as residential or commercial, with subcategories like park-facing, corner, and Main Boulevard plots. Dedicated spaces for mosques, parks, schools, healthcare, and commercial zones are included. Roads range from 20 ft to 100 ft wide. 
The construction of the Kurri Road-based Park View City Grand Entrance has been completed. Construction work on the 200 ft main boulevard is finalized, and a comprehensive network of 40 ft and 50 ft roads is being developed within the residential society.

Park View City is divided into more than 15 purpose-specific, alphabetically labeled blocks. Here is a thorough look at each one:
Block A & Block B — Core Residential Zones
Blocks A and B in Park View City offer budget-friendly residential plots that do not compromise on location or lifestyle. 
Both A & B Blocks are ready for immediate possession, making them ideal for families eager to settle into a fully developed area. Plots are available in 5 Marla, 10 Marla, and 1 Kanal sizes.

F Block is adjacent to E Block. It is accessible from the main road very easily and has the maximum number of residential plots. The overall landscape of this block is very scenic and appealing. 

The inauguration of the 100-Kanal Downtown Lake and Dancing Fountain in late 2023 turned the society into a regional tourist attraction. 
The fountain show timings are 5:30 PM to 11:00 PM, with shows every 30 minutes. The ticket price is PKR 500.

Every responsible buyer must understand these issues before investing.
Development Charges Dispute (April 2025)
In April 2025, Park View City came under public scrutiny as residents raised serious concerns about development charges. Despite initial promises during plot purchases that all costs were included, buyers began receiving surprise notifications demanding hefty additional development charges — in some cases four to five years after they had already constructed their homes. 
Block F offers 5 Marla, 10 Marla, and 1 Kanal plots — giving it the widest range of options. High secondary market activity here.
Best for: First-time buyers and investors who want diverse plot options and strong resale liquidity.
Block H — Possession Available
H Block in Park View City Islamabad is a great investment opportunity offering plot sizes in 5, 8, 10 Marla and 1 Kanal. 
A limited-time Cash-Only Possession Drive has been announced for the H Block extension, allowing buyers to start building their homes immediately with a full waiver on specific charges. 
Best for: Investors seeking plots in an actively developing block with near-term possession.
Block J — Best Value for Money
J Block comprises 5, 8, 10 Marla and 1 and 2 Kanal residential plots. Looking at current market trends, 8 Marla plots are the most popular among buyers and investors — the size fits a modern family’s needs and these are the fastest-selling plot sizes. 
J Block is a reasonable block offering compact houses in an affordable range and an easy installment plan. 
Best for: Middle-income buyers entering the market without committing to a premium-block price.
Overseas Block — For Expatriate Pakistanis
Dedicated to expatriates, this block features 200-ft wide boulevards and a dedicated Lagoon Club. 
Park View City reserves this area specifically for overseas Pakistanis. Designed with advanced technology and amenities to provide an exquisite living experience, this block was developed at the requisition of overseas Pakistanis seeking a safe and identity-affirming place to invest in Pakistan. 
As of late January 2026, infrastructure development in the Overseas Block is in full swing — main roads are paved, and grey structures of residential units are nearing completion. 
Best for: Overseas Pakistanis in the UAE, UK, USA, Canada, or elsewhere who want to invest or eventually return.
Golf Estate Block — Resort-Style Living
Golf Estate Block is centered around a 9-hole international standard golf course, offering a resort-style living experience. 
The Golf Estate project has 5 Marla, 10 Marla, and 1 Kanal residential plots. Category plots include corner, park-facing, and Main Boulevard plots, priced 10% higher than regular plot prices. 
Best for: Premium buyers and long-term investors seeking the highest capital appreciation within the society.
Hills Estate Block — 360-Degree Panoramic Views
Hills Estate is the latest addition, located on the highest point of the society, providing 360-degree panoramic views of Islamabad. 
Best for: Early-entry investors who want to get in before full development drives prices higher.
Park View City Walk Commercial Downtown is the largest commercial hub in the society. Due to its exceptional location and modern amenities, it offers the most high-value living and business opportunities.
Terrace C Block Payment Plan:
A 10-Marla plot in Terrace C Block is priced at PKR 25,000,000 with a 25% down payment of PKR 6,250,000, and a balance payable in 4 quarterly installments of PKR 4,687,500. A 1-Kanal plot is priced at PKR 50,000,000 with a down payment of PKR 12,500,000 and 4 quarterly installments of PKR 9,375,000.

Full Cash Discount:
Park View City offers a reduction of 5% of the total price of the plot on full cash payment. 
Price Range by Block:
The cost of a 5 Marla plot varies between PKR 8,500,000 in Hills Estate Block and PKR 32,500,000 in Park View Homes, depending on the block and plot size. 
Security
The society offers 24/7 security throughout its gated community. 
Islamabad High Court Restraint (Mid-2025)
In mid-2025, the Islamabad High Court issued a temporary restraint on Park View City’s collection of additional development charges following disputes with plot owners. This reflects broader tensions between residents and management over transparency and fee practices. 
New Year’s Eve Incident (December 31, 2025)
Islamabad Police registered a criminal case over a violent clash during a New Year’s Eve concert at Park View City. Mismanagement at entry points triggered unrest — organisers allegedly sold tickets beyond the venue’s capacity, many valid ticket holders were denied entry, and the situation escalated into clashes with private security staff. 
Key Investor Advice
These issues do not eliminate the investment case — but buyers should always: (1) get written confirmation of exactly which charges are included in the plot price, (2) verify the current NOC status on the CDA website before signing, and (3) consult an independent property lawyer before booking.
Phase 2 of Park View City is located near Rawat. Heavy machinery has already been deployed to the site, and construction of boundary walls and the 400-foot-wide main boulevard has been completed. 
Phase 2 represents the project’s next major expansion. Buyers interested in Phase 2 should confirm independent NOC approval before committing, given Phase 1’s legal history.
When compared to other housing societies in Islamabad, Park View City stands out due to its meticulously planned layout and comprehensive amenities. While many societies offer merely residential plots, Park View City provides a unique blend of luxury and convenience. Its competitive pricing, especially for smaller 5 Marla and 10 Marla plots, attracts a diverse range of investors. There is a comprehensive comparison article on Milkiyat.com that evaluates Park View City VS Bahria Enclave, and Park View City VS DHA Margalla Enclave to help buyers and investors make informed property decisions.
