Project Overview
Wapda Town is the popular name of Wapda Employees Cooperative Housing Society. It is a registered cooperative society under the circle registrar of ICT Islamabad under registration number 157. It was established back in 1983, with land purchase began in early 90s, and the development started after 2000. The society has taken four decades to reach this stage of development, however it is currently sparsely populated and considered as one of the cheapest housing schemes in Islamabad.
Normally we call it Islamabad as this area is adjacent to CDA Zone 2, but actually this land falls under the jurisdiction of Rawalpindi Development Authority. Some people call it extension of CDA Zone 2, and call it sector C-18 and C-19, but these are all wrong claims. There are no sectors after 17 series, so CDA limits end after D-17 and C-17.
We are going to share all available and important information about Wapda Town on this page, so that you can get familiar with the society and you can also contact us for any specific requirement or plots for sale in Wapda Town.
NOC & Legal Status
Wapda Town has failed to obtain its final NOC from RDA despite owning the total land and completing development. There are no details available as to the issues regarding its NOC approval, however there is no restriction on transfers and construction activities in this society.
As it is a registered cooperative society under ICT Islamabad, it is considered safe to invest as cooperative societies have active involvement of the district government and its operations are more transparent and secure as compared to private housing schemes.
