Islamabad: Prime Minister (PM) Imran Khan on Friday (February 11) paid a surprise visit to the construction site of the Federal Government Employees Housing Authority (FGEHA)’s low-cost ‘Kashmir Avenue’ apartment project in G-13, news sources reported. The premier expressed his concerns over the slow pace of work on the construction site.
According to FGEHA sources, officials briefed PM Khan about the pace of work and stated that the rise of building material prices has resulted in a significant delay in the project. Prices have also had an impact on Sector G-13’s Kashmir Avenue and Lifestyle Residency developments. The FGEHA is constructing the three-building project in G-13 for low-cost housing for middle-class people. As per the sources, the project has:
Three towers, each with a basement and ground-plus 21 floors.
A total of 1,467 apartments out of which 714 will have a 1,300 sq ft land area each while 753 apartments will have 1,100 square feet each
The basements of the buildings will be reserved for car parking and the ground floors for amenities
In addition to the G-13 flats, FGEHA is building three other apartment developments in Islamabad: Skyline Apartments near the International Airport, Chaklala Heights in Scheme-111 Rawalpindi, and Lifestyle Residency in Lahore.
