FGEHA Launches F-14 and F-15 Sectors in Islamabad

Islamabad is once again in the spotlight as the government moves forward with long-awaited housing projects. The Minister for Housing and Works, Mian Riaz Hussain Pirzada, is set to officially break ground for the development of sectors F-14 and F-15. This marks a fresh start for projects that have been pending for years and brings new hope to thousands of people waiting for homes in the capital.

The Federal Government Employees Housing Authority (FGEHA) is leading this initiative. With the contract for infrastructure development already awarded to the National Logistic Cell (NLC), work is now ready to begin at full speed.

FGEHA F-14 and F-15

For many families, the names F-14 and F-15 have been associated with uncertainty and waiting. But now, things seem to be moving in the right direction. According to FGEHA spokesperson Faiz Ahmed Sial, the development of these sectors is expected to be completed within three years.

The involvement of NLC, a well-known organization in infrastructure development, is seen as a positive step. Once the minister performs the groundbreaking ceremony, NLC will begin work immediately and move ahead at full pace.

This development is part of the housing ministry’s broader plan to speed up stalled projects and provide relief to applicants who have been waiting for years.

F-12 and G-12 Next in Line

The housing authority is not stopping with F-14 and F-15. Plans are already in motion to launch two more sectors, F-12 and G-12, within the current year.

For F-12, the layout plan and PC-I (project cost estimate) have already been prepared. The estimated cost stands at around Rs35 billion. Meanwhile, the layout plan for G-12 is in its final stages. Once completed, the PC-I will be prepared, and the tendering process will begin.

Officials say development work on both F-12 and G-12 will start at the same time. Land awards for these sectors were announced years ago, and payments to landowners will begin before development starts. Authorities are hopeful that work on these two sectors will begin in the coming months.

What About the Delayed Projects?

While new sectors are being launched, several older projects are still facing delays. Among them are:

• Sky Gardens
• Green Enclave-I
• Kashmir Apartment Project
• Lifestyle Afro Apartments
• Skyline Apartments in Chaklala

These projects have experienced setbacks due to legal disputes, joint venture issues, and other complications.

Sky Gardens

The Sky Gardens project, located near Bhara Kahu in Murree, was launched under a joint venture agreement in October 2019. The agreement involved up to 11,000 kanals of land and aimed to develop 5,754 residential plots.

Under the agreement:

• Residential plots are divided in a 70:30 ratio between partners.
• Commercial land is shared at 45:55.

However, progress has been slower than expected. Phase I is about 40% complete, while Phase II stands at around 42%. This shows that delays are still affecting the project.

On a positive note, 80 plots in Sector A were handed over to owners on July 3, 2025. Blocks G and D are expected to be ready for possession by March 2026.

Green Enclave-I

Green Enclave-I, launched in 2009, has faced long-standing legal disputes between the government and contractors. Although work restarted at one point, the project is still incomplete.

According to officials, development work in Green Enclave remains halted due to issues with the joint venture partner. However, negotiations are said to be in the final stages, raising hopes that work will resume soon.

Chaklala and Other Projects

There is some good news for other stalled projects. Work has resumed on the Chaklala Apartment project, and contracts have been awarded for the Kashmir Heights project. These steps suggest that the housing authority is trying to clear the backlog and restore public trust.

A Fresh Start for Islamabad’s Housing Sector

The groundbreaking of F-14 and F-15 is more than just a ceremony. It represents a renewed effort by the government to address housing shortages and complete projects that have been delayed for years.

If everything goes according to plan, residents can expect:

• Faster infrastructure development.
• Simultaneous launching of new sectors.
• Restart of stalled housing schemes.
• Timely possession of plots.

For many families, this could finally mean moving from years of waiting to actual home ownership. The coming months will be crucial. If development continues at the promised pace, Islamabad’s housing landscape may soon look very different, bringing new opportunities and renewed confidence to homebuyers across the capital.
