Whenever any person wants to buy or invest in a housing society near Islamabad, these two names always come up. Faisal Town Phase 2 and Faisal Hills. Same developer. Same owner. But they are not the same project at all.
One is new and still growing on the M-2 Motorway. The other is older, already built, and sitting on GT Road. So which one is right for you? Depends on your budget, your patience, and how much risk you can take. Let’s break it down block by block.
Quick Facts
| Feature | Faisal Town Phase 2 | Faisal Hills |
|---|---|---|
| Developer | Faisal Town Group | Faisal Town Group |
| Location | Thalian Interchange, M-2 Motorway | Main GT Road, near Taxila |
| NOC Status | Pending with RDA | RDA approved |
| Total Area | About 80,000 kanals, up to 100,000 planned | About 11,823 kanals |
| Plot Sizes | 5 Marla to 2 Kanal | 5 Marla to 2 Kanal |
| Payment Plan | Instalments over a few years | Mostly cash, some blocks on instalments |
| Entry Price | Lower | Higher |
| Development | Early stage, work in progress | Mature, several blocks already built |
| Good For | Long-term growth, smaller budget | Faster possession, lower risk |
Same Owner, Same Group
Both projects belong to Faisal Town Group. Chaudhry Abdul Majeed runs the company. He has more than 30 years of experience in real estate. He has built Faisal Town Phase 1, Faisal Margalla City, Faisal Residencia, Faisal Jewel, and Faisal Heights too.
A lot of people think both projects carry the same risk since one company owns them. That is wrong. Each project needs its own NOC and its own approval. A good developer name helps, sure. But you still need to check the papers yourself before you pay.
Location: Old GT Road or the New Motorway
Location changes everything. Your daily travel and future resale value both matter. Faisal Town Phase 2 is located near Thalian Interchange on the M-2 Motorway. From there, you can easily reach Rawalpindi Ring Road and Chakri Road. New Islamabad International Airport is just a few minutes off. This makes it a good pick if you travel often or if you’re an overseas Pakistani thinking about the airport link.
Faisal Hills is on the main GT Road, close to Taxila Bypass. HITEC University is nearby, as are Wah Cantt and Margalla Avenue. The M-1 Motorway isn’t far either. Taxila city itself is about 13 minutes away.
If you want quick access to the airport and better new roads, choose Faisal Town Phase 2. If you want an area with more traffic and business activity, Faisal Hills is the better choice.
NOC Status:
This is the most important thing to check before you spend any money. Faisal Hills already has its NOC from the Rawalpindi Development Authority. It covers roughly 11,823 kanals, and the project is fully legal; no questions there.
Faisal Town Phase 2 is still waiting. The application is with RDA, and the developer says approval is close, but nothing is confirmed yet. That’s exactly why prices are lower here; you’re taking on more risk for a cheaper entry.
If legal safety is your top priority, Faisal Hills is the safer bet. If you’re okay waiting out the NOC process for a lower price today, Faisal Town Phase 2 might work for you. Either way, confirm the NOC status yourself with RDA before booking anything.
How Big Is Each Project
Faisal Town Phase 2 is much bigger. It covers around 80,000 kanals. It may grow up to 100,000 kanals later on. Faisal Hills covers around 11,823 kanals. That makes Phase 2 almost seven times the size.
Faisal Hills has blocks like Executive Block, A, B, B Extension, C, and D. Faisal Town Phase 2 has L, M, N, Model Block (also called Sector O), Overseas Enclave, I Block, Sports City, and Education City. Being bigger gives Phase 2 more room to grow. But a bigger project also takes longer to finish.
Plot Sizes
| Plot Size | Faisal Hills | Faisal Town Phase 2 |
|---|---|---|
| 5 Marla | Available | Available, about 5.56 Marla |
| 8 Marla | Available | Available |
| 10 Marla | Available | Available, about 10.89 Marla |
| 14 Marla | Available | Available, about 14.22 Marla |
| 1 Kanal | Available | Available |
| 2 Kanal | Available | Available |
One thing to keep in mind, Faisal Town Phase 2 plots are measured a bit differently. Always double-check the exact size with your dealer before you book.
Price Comparison
Faisal Hills costs more simply because it’s already built and you can move in now. Faisal Town Phase 2 costs less because it’s early stage and the NOC hasn’t landed yet.
Roughly speaking, a 5 Marla plot in Faisal Hills runs between 30 to 50 lakh rupees, depending on the block. The same size in Faisal Town Phase 2 usually comes in lower, since it’s priced at early booking rates. Prices change often in both projects, so always get a written and dated price list before you buy.
If you have a tight budget and can wait for growth, Faisal Town Phase 2 is cheaper. If you want a plot in a more developed area, Faisal Hills may cost more.
Payment Plans
| Feature | Faisal Hills | Faisal Town Phase 2 |
|---|---|---|
| Down Payment | Often full cash or a big upfront share | About 20 to 30 per cent |
| Instalments | Mostly on cash | 3 to 5 years, depends on block |
| Best For | Buyers who can pay upfront | Buyers who want to spread payments |
Residential plots in Faisal Hills are mostly full cash. Commercial ones there come with instalment options, though. Faisal Town Phase 2 makes it easier, with monthly or quarterly instalments spread over years, plus a discount if you pay the full amount upfront.
Got the cash ready and want to skip years of instalments? Faisal Hills fits better. Prefer smaller payments spread out? Go with Faisal Town Phase 2.
Where Development Actually Stands
Faisal Hills is well ahead here. Roads, electricity, gas, water- all working in several blocks already. Families live there. Schools and mosques are already open. Executive Block and Block A lead the pack, while Block C and Block D are still catching up.
Faisal Town Phase 2 is much earlier in its journey. The main boulevard is done, and land levelling is moving along, but most block roads and utilities are just getting started. Sector O, also called Model Block, is developing the fastest and may get possession earlier than the other blocks.
Need a home or rental plot you can use soon? Faisal Hills is ready now. Planning to invest for the long term and can wait 3–4 years? Faisal Town Phase 2 has more room to grow.
Amenities Right Now
Faisal Hills already has real, working facilities. Roots International School, a big Jamia Masjid in Block A, Glow Garden Park, a Miyawaki Forest, and commercial spots like Business Etihad Centre. A teaching hospital and a university are on the way too.
Faisal Town Phase 2 has a much bigger plan drawn up: a central business district, schools, mosques, parks, healthcare, all across its blocks. Most of the area is still in the planning or early construction stage, so there is not much activity yet.
Want facilities you can use right away? Faisal Hills. Fine waiting a few years for a much bigger setup? Faisal Town Phase 2 could pay off.
Pros and Cons
Faisal Town Phase 2
Lower entry price. Huge scale with room to grow. Direct M-2 access. Close to the new airport. Flexible instalments.
On the flip side, NOC is still pending, and there’s nobody living there yet, so possession is a long wait.
Faisal Hills
RDA approved, legally safe. Working infrastructure in several blocks. Families already living there. Schools and mosques already running.
The downside: it costs more, and a few blocks are still catching up on development.
