Faisal Hills Taxila review: RDA status, blocks and plot prices

Faisal Hills is RDA approved: the Rawalpindi Development Authority lists it with a final NOC (no-objection certificate) over 11,823 kanals, checked on 17 October 2026. The catch is the land around it. In 2025 RDA filed FIRs against Faisal Hills over alleged building beyond its approved boundaries, APP and The Nation reported, and a similarly named “Faisal Hills Enclave” is on RDA’s illegal list.

As of August 2026, Zameen’s average for a 5 marla plot was Rs 56.4 lakh. The safer buy is a plot you can show lies inside the 11,823-kanal NOC area.

Is Faisal Hills RDA approved?

Yes, for the original scheme. Faisal Hills is on GT Road near Taxila, outside Islamabad Capital Territory, so RDA regulates it, not CDA (Capital Development Authority). CDA’s list of housing schemes has no Faisal Hills entry.

RDA’s lists include several “Faisal” schemes on or near GT Road. Only the first two are Faisal Hills:

Town planning approval for Faisal Hills-II is a step short of a final NOC. RDA’s record says its transfer and mortgage deed is still being processed.

What has RDA done against Faisal Hills?

RDA investigations found Faisal Hills “expanding beyond its approved boundaries” with continuing illegal development, The Nation reported on 3 August 2025. The paper said RDA filed an FIR with Taxila police against the scheme’s company secretary, Muhammad Pervez, and other officials.

An APP report of 27 July 2025 said RDA had filed FIRs against three schemes, including Faisal Hills in Taxila. RDA had told police the schemes had built beyond their approved areas and misled the public through unauthorized advertising and illegal booking and file sales.

The Nation also wrote that the schemes had failed to get the required NOCs from RDA. That clashes with RDA’s own list, which shows a final NOC for Faisal Hills. Both reports link the action to building beyond the approved boundaries, so we read it as being about the extended land. We follow RDA’s list for the approved area.

There is older history too. In June 2020 the Anti-Corruption Establishment (ACE) booked senior RDA officials, alleging they had allowed construction of Faisal Hills and Faisal Margalla City while the schemes were illegal, The News reported. Its sources said the case would go to NAB. We found no report of how that case ended.

Is there possession in Faisal Hills?

In part. Possession means handing over a developed plot you can build on. Parts of Faisal Hills are built and lived in: on 17 October 2026 Zameen listed 150 houses for sale and 16 for rent there.

Zameen’s area guide, which is undated, names four blocks, A to D, with D the newest. It says the A Block park and the Faisal Mansion office are complete and that a school campus is under construction. We found no RDA or independent record of which blocks have possession.

What are Faisal Hills plot prices?

We use Zameen’s index of average asking prices. Asking prices are what sellers ask, not what buyers pay.

The 5 marla average fell between 2023 and 2024, then rose 53% in the two years to August 2026. Over five years it is up 45%.

The 10 marla average followed the same path: down to Rs 54.9 lakh in August 2024, then up 64% to Rs 89.9 lakh by August 2026.

What about gas, electricity and water?

We couldn’t confirm any of them. Developer and dealer sites say gas, electricity and water are available, but we found no SNGPL, IESCO or other independent source, and Zameen’s area guide doesn’t cover utilities.

Who is the developer, and what is its track record?

Zameen says Faisal Hills is developed by Zedem International (Pvt) Ltd, owned by Chaudhary Abdul Majeed. RDA’s lists don’t name the sponsor.

The track record is mixed. Buyers have built houses here, but RDA filed FIRs against the scheme in 2025 over alleged building beyond its approved boundaries. Zameen names the same company, ZEDEM International, as developer of Faisal Town F-18. There, in January 2026, RDA lodged an FIR against the owner, Chaudhry Abdul Majeed, over alleged layout-plan violations, APP and The Nation reported. Read our Faisal Town Islamabad review for that case.

How easy is it to resell a Faisal Hills plot?

There is plenty of supply. Zameen showed 1,783 plots for sale in Faisal Hills on 17 October 2026, and it has kept a price index here since August 2016. We have no data on how long plots take to sell.

Where is Faisal Hills?

Faisal Hills is on GT Road near Taxila. Zameen says it is about a three-minute drive from B-17 and five minutes from Taxila Cantt. By our straight-line calculation from Zameen’s map pin, it is about 3 km from B-17, 18 km from Islamabad International Airport and 24 km from Zero Point.

Its nearest neighbour is B-17 Islamabad (Multi Gardens), which is under CDA. Compare it with Capital Smart City, or see our best housing societies in Islamabad.
