Current Status: NOC Application Submitted and Under Active Review with RDA
Before anything else, let’s address what every serious buyer wants to know: has the Faisal Town Phase 2 NOC been approved?
No, not yet. And we are not going to hide that or dress it up. The NOC for Faisal Town Phase 2 is currently being processed by the Rawalpindi Development Authority. The application is in, the documentation is being reviewed, and things are moving. This is a massive multi-sector development, and that kind of scale takes time to get through the regulatory pipeline. That is not a red flag. That is actually how credible, large-scale projects work in Pakistan.
At World Marketing, we have always believed that buyers deserve the full picture. So here it is.
What Is the RDA and Why Does Its Approval Actually Matter
The Rawalpindi Development Authority is the government body that oversees housing schemes and development projects across Rawalpindi and its surrounding areas, including the Thalian Interchange zone where Faisal Town Phase 2 sits.
Getting an RDA NOC is not just paperwork. When a society gets that certificate, it means the authority has gone through everything: land title and ownership records, the master plan, road widths, green belts, commercial zoning, and whether the developer actually has the capacity to complete what they have promised. For a buyer, it is the one document that tells you the project is real, the land is legal, and someone in government is watching the developer.
That is why buyers ask about it. And that is why we take the question seriously.
Why Is It Still Under Process, and Should That Worry You
Short answer: it should not worry you, at least not for the reasons most people assume.
Faisal Town Phase 2 is not a small gated community on a few hundred kanals. The project covers roughly 80,000 kanals across multiple sectors including Sector O, Q, R, the Overseas Enclave, Sector X, a Central Business District, Sports City, and Education City. Every single land parcel in every sector has to be individually checked before RDA gives the green light.
And it is not just one office doing the checking. Getting the NOC means clearing multiple government departments at the same time. The Revenue Department has to verify land records. The Environment Protection Department runs an impact assessment. The Civil Aviation Authority has to sign off because the site is close to Islamabad International Airport. WASA reviews water and sewerage planning. WAPDA and LESCO handle electricity infrastructure. The RDA Planning Wing reviews the entire master plan. Each of these runs on its own schedule.
A hold-up in one department does not mean the project has a problem. It means the government works in departments. Projects this size routinely take anywhere from 18 to 36 months to complete the full NOC process. The application is active. The developer has been through this before. That last part matters more than most people realise.
Chaudhry Abdul Majeed’s Track Record: The Proof Is Already There
Here is what separates Faisal Town Phase 2 from the kind of pre-NOC project that genuinely deserves caution.
Chaudhry Abdul Majeed, the Chairman of Faisal Town Group, has multiple fully approved and delivered projects already standing. Not planned. Not under review. Delivered. Every single one went through the same RDA process, and every single one came out the other side with approval and functioning communities.
| Project | NOC Authority | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Faisal Town Phase 1 | RDA | Fully Approved and Delivered |
| Faisal Hills Islamabad | RDA | Fully Approved and Operational |
| Faisal Margalla City | RDA | Approved 2019 and Developed |
| Multi Gardens B-17 (MPCHS) | RDA | Approved and Fully Developed |
| Faisal Residencia | RDA | Approved and Delivered |
This is a developer who has submitted applications, received approvals, and handed over files to buyers, multiple times over. That is not a sales pitch. It is a public record you can verify. When you invest in Faisal Town Phase 2, you are not taking a chance on someone doing this for the first time.
What Is Happening on the Ground Right Now
One thing buyers often overlook is that on-site development does not wait for an NOC. And right now, the site tells its own story.
More than 80 percent of the total land area has already been leveled and cleared. The 350-foot main boulevard is under active construction. Sector O Model Block is fully developed with carpeted roads and numbered plots already in place. Sectors Q, and Sector R are moving fast. The Overseas Enclave is up and welcoming buyers. Underground utility work is being laid across live sectors right now.
No developer sinks hundreds of crores into land clearing, roads, and underground infrastructure without a serious plan to deliver. What you can see on the ground at Faisal Town Phase 2 is one of the strongest signals you will find in any pre-NOC project today.
What NOC-Pending Status Actually Means for You as a Buyer
We want to be straight with you here too. There are real practical points to understand before you book.
What NOC pending does mean: the society is not yet on RDA‘s officially approved list. Resale file transfers will need extra documentation until the NOC comes through. Some banks will not finance a plot purchase in a pre-NOC society, so if you are planning to take a loan, that is worth checking in advance.
What it does not mean: that the project is fraudulent, that development is going to stop, or that your booking is at risk. Hundreds of verified buyers have already booked and received their files. The site work speaks for itself.
What the smarter buyers are doing is coming in now, before NOC approval, because pre-NOC prices are noticeably lower than what the same plots will cost once approval lands. Based on how previous Faisal Town Group projects played out, NOC approval tends to trigger a price revision upward of 20 to 40 percent fairly quickly. The buyers who came in early on Faisal Town Phase 1 and Faisal Hills saw that pattern play out exactly that way. Getting in before the NOC is approved has historically been where the strongest returns come from.
Frequently Asked Questions About Faisal Town Phase 2 NOC
Is Faisal Town Phase 2 on the RDA approved list?
Not at this stage. The application has been formally submitted and is in active review. Approval will come once the multi-department verification cycle is complete.
Is it safe to buy before the NOC is approved?
Buyers invest in pre-NOC societies across Pakistan every year, and the key factor is always the developer behind the project. Given Chaudhry Abdul Majeed’s track record of getting approvals and delivering projects, Faisal Town Phase 2 sits in a different category from a nameless or unproven developer. That said, we always recommend speaking to your own legal and financial advisor before any purchase.
Will prices go up after the NOC comes through?
Every previous Faisal Town Group project showed this same pattern. NOC approval triggered upward price revisions. Early buyers in Faisal Town Phase 1 saw meaningful appreciation once the NOC was granted and infrastructure filled in.
How do I check the NOC status myself?
RDA’s approved societies list is available on their official website. You can also visit the Faisal Town Group’s office directly and ask for the documentation. We at World Marketing are happy to share whatever latest update we have, just reach out or send us a WhatsApp.
When will the NOC actually be approved?
We will not give you a date we cannot guarantee. What we can tell you is that the process is genuinely active, the developer has cleared this process before, and it is moving forward the way it should be.
Our Commitment to You
We are not going to ask you to look past the NOC status. It matters, and any agent who tells you otherwise is doing you a disservice.
