Pics Coming Shortly, after the problem of the server is resolved for me.

well don't you think it is quiet awkward of them or may I say downright foolish of the CDA to allot ISI land in the heart of the new educational district, surrounded by schools and universities???

surrounded completely by CIIT on one side, the new 7 storey school on the other, the pak-turk intl school behind and a new british intl school not far from it!

Work goes on 24 hours a day, three mixing plants, one on site, one behind Pak Turk School and other on the Lehtrar Road farther ahead serve the purpose for the construction of the HQ and the new colony near PINSTECH and adjacent to Farash Town.

They are putting water tanks on the rear tower now, so I think they won't go higher than 10 maybe.

Great Project but this is so not right to have it right in the Middle of the new educational district in Islamabad's Chak Shehzad.


I guess this is planning madness or blunder. This shouldnt have happened in a new area first of all. It could be considered negligance of the planners to locate such a high security risk building within an education district. But it not one stake holder fault as well. Why does the ISI adminstration not bother about the people around it? Why would they go a plot in such an area? There much be some science behind such a development. The ISI is working for its people, then they should locate their buildings else where. Around Islamabad, there are so many strategic buildings that an ordinary person may not know of. And some of which I know of, exist outside the city, in a barren area due to high-security risk and strategical important. I wish the ISI remove their headquarter from here, from G-7 Mauve area (next to CDA office) and the FIA headquarter in G-9/4 Mauve Area. All are putting ordinary people life in difficulty and danger!

-> Floor Count Updated;

from front to rear, left to right: 8 (9 is half complete) / 10 / 9 / 10

-> They are deploying a new power line from somewhere upwards (Simly Dam?) to the HQ site. The polls have been deployed and have been wired at different patches.

Mods are informed that this project be renamed appropriately.

These are the towers for housing of the officials who will work at the ISI HQ being constructed at the northern tip of Farash Town.


All towers have reached their final floor count and are now being worked for interiors and exterior cementing and painting.

The work pace is extremely fast as they have stopped working late at night. The interiors of the towers behind are taking final shape while the front towers are getting the work on their exteriors.

They also have started making a multi-floored parking area which is more likely underground.

The leveling has also started for the front areas.

Security has been enforced, guards are now keenly placed around the site.

There is a similar complex at 17 mile stop further up on lethrar road, only like 2-3 times bigger with identically designed buildings and max floor count of 10.

I didn't have the slightest clue of another model village, it is a tad bit far and difficult to reach though... I will try to cover that in the future.

The towers are painted and the interiors almost complete. The infrastructure is being developed now, security towers and surrounding wall is being erected. The school, club, hospital hybrid is 3 floors tall and its walls are being placed.
