Specifically, the proposed district will be situated in Zone 1 of the avenue, as revealed by a member of the Planning Wing. 

During a recent CDA board meeting, officials were informed of the plan to create the business district.

According to details, the CDA owns a considerable amount of land in the area, estimated to be between 1,000 to 1,500 kanals, mostly located in Sector C-16. 

This land is slated to be used for mixed-use projects, with a focus on apartment complexes that will also be marketed to overseas Pakistanis.

 To help develop the area, the CDA is seeking the services of a consultant, with a preference for government-owned consulting firms.

If the proposal is approved, it will be the second business district in Islamabad, in addition to the already established Blue Area.
