In an unprecedented venture that promises to change Pakistan’s architectural dynamics, Faisal Town has teamed up with the world-renowned architecture firm Aedas to build the tallest building in Islamabad’s New Blue Area. Campaigners hope this grand project will not only redefine the city’s horizon but also set a precedent for the country’s real estate industry.
Faisal Town entered the partnership with Aedas at a contract signing ceremony at Aedas’ Singapore office. This partnership highlights a common goal to raise the bar of urban architecture in Pakistan, redefining new perspectives in design and sustainable development. After the event, an Aedas team was sent to Pakistan to prepare for work on the project, heralding a new era of high-rise development.
Islamabad’s New Business Centre Growths in commercial investment in some sectors of town seem inevitable.
The New Blue Area has been strategically placed and shall soon be Islamabad’s premier business district. With the likes of proposed F-8 Interchange, F-10 Intersection, Serena Hotel Interchange, this is the most accessible location attracting major corporate players. This office will be the tallest building in this area, so it really is a symbol.”
Aedas is known for forging a philosophy that incorporates buildings with their environment. In the design of Islamabad’s tallest building, the firm seeks to integrate the picturesque landscape of the city, the Margalla Hills, and modern urban planning into the development. Taking cues from their own sustainable designs, such as Parqal in Manila and the STAR in Singapore, Aedas hopes to employ passive environmental design strategies, vaulting natural ventilation and daylighting options, which will in turn help to decrease energy usage and improve user well-being.
Faisal Town is a brand to reckon with in the real estate industry of Pakistan. The firm has built more than 130,000 residential units and 60,000 commercial ones, and housed over one-and-a-half-million people. Flagship projects such as Faisal Margalla City and Faisal Hills demonstrate the company commitment to highest standards and modernisation.
The focus of this project is on being sustainable. The structure is designed to leave a small carbon footprint by using environmentally friendly elements with energy-star rated appliances. Green Spaces, Rainwater Harvesting, and innovative waste management systems, complemented by a healthier urban ecology, will (inshAllah) create new benchmarks for sustainable development in Pakistan.
The construction of the tallest building of the capital, Islamabad, promises great economic returns. It will bring both domestic and foreign investment flows. Moreover, it will promote the real estate market and create a large number of employment positions. Some worry that the project’s success might also further facilitate the development of high-rises, so that our cities grow more vertically.
Consistent with worldwide development, the tower will be a smart building, using smart building technologies to operate efficiently and improve the user experience. Automated systems to control lighting, heating and security will make the building responsive to the needs of the businesses and residents of the twenty-first century, as will the high speed internet connections.
Apart from its physical capacity, the building is expected to transform into a symbol for Pakistan’s development and ambitions. It will express the country’s desire to rejoin the world in the 21st century while maintaining pride in its traditional culture. This tower is a majestic building that bridges our future with our past.
The scheme also focusses on placemaking to offer community facilities in the form of public spaces, retail and leisure. These facilities will not be restricted to those on site at the building; the building will also function as a community hub, promoting social interaction and a flourishing urban existence.
The company is constructing to national and international standards, and will feature state of the art safety features such as earthquake proof design, and fire safety measures. Adhering to these standards is crucial to the safety and longevity of your home project.
Though no firm dates have been laid out, the project is now underway. At completion, the tower will redefine not only the skyline of Islamabad but also become the pioneering building that will encourage a series of urban developments across Pakistan, marking the inception of a new age of Pakistan’s urban evolution.
Faisal Town and Aedas are joining hands to construct the Tallest Building ever built in Islamabad. Blending leading-edge architecture, eco-friendly principles, and community-centric design, it would be a developmental benchmark for urban living in Pakistan. As the structure ascends, it will symbolize the nation’s advancement and national ambition on the international scene.
