Islamabad is moving toward a new chapter as the Capital Development Authority has approved the long-awaited Capital House for the Islamabad Capital Territory. Set in the peaceful F-5 area, this project aims to bring government offices under one roof. The approval came during a key meeting led by Chairman Muhammad Ali Randhawa, where several development plans worth billions were also cleared for the city’s growth.
A Project Designed for Unity and Ease
Officials shared that the Capital House will cost Rs. 3.2 billion and follow the model of provincial houses in Sindh, Punjab, KP, and Balochistan. This new centre will end the old system of scattered government offices that made coordination slow and difficult. Once work begins, the CDA hopes to finish the project within two years, offering smoother operations and better services.
New Residences to Support Government Staff
Alongside the Capital House, the CDA-DWP also approved a major housing plan for government officers in Islamabad. This project will cost around Rs. 3 billion and bring a modern residential building to the city. Planned as a tall structure with a ground floor and fourteen upper floors, it promises improved living conditions, complete with electrical, mechanical, and horticulture features designed to support comfortable daily living.

The approved residential tower highlights a forward-looking approach to public infrastructure. The building’s design focuses on safety, energy efficiency and a peaceful environment for families. With its wide range of services and organized layout, the project reflects a careful balance between tradition and progress. It also carries a strict completion target of twenty-four months, showing the authority’s commitment to timely development.
Upgrades Coming to the Diplomatic Enclave
The CDA also gave the green light to upgrade the Diplomatic Enclave, an important and sensitive zone in Islamabad. This improvement project is expected to cost Rs. 635 million and comes with a short timeline of six months. The goal is to improve security, accessibility, and overall conditions for foreign missions, giving the enclave a modern, well-managed look that reflects Pakistan’s growing global role.
A Vision That Blends Tradition and Growth
These newly approved projects show a strong effort to shape Islamabad into a well-planned and welcoming capital. From improved housing to upgraded diplomatic spaces, each step supports the city’s long-term vision. The Capital House stands at the centre of this journey, offering a place where unity, order, and forward-thinking development can grow together for years to come.
