Capital Smart City has become one of the foremost housing societies in Islamabad. As a sales partner and authorized dealer of the housing project, Makeen has seen perhaps the most customer satisfaction delivered by this housing project than any other in the market.
HRL has been on a roll recently— constructing and developing two of Pakistan’s first (and only) smart cities. As far as Capital Smart City is concerned, the housing project has experienced massive success regarding its general, executive, and overseas block.
In response to this earth-shattering acclaim, HRL has made the decision to introduce Capital Smart City villas in the shape of Harmony Park.
This blog will go into detail about Harmony Park’s location, the payment plan of the residential plots offers as well as the villa apartments and their size.

Location of Capital Smart City Harmony Park Block
The Harmony Park Block is strategically placed to offer its residents the best quality of life. It is located next to one of the most prestigious blocks Capital Smart City Islamabad has to offer— the Overseas Block. Previously there was a lot of ambiguity over its location. Last year, it was assigned to be constructed next to the General/Executive block.
According to the Capital Smart City map, because of its proximity to the Overseas Block, Harmony Park is in an ideal spot to gain access to Chakri Road. This puts it in the perfect spot to gain from the transportation access points.
Size of Harmony Park Plots
Word has it that Harmony Park is offering plot cuttings of 3.5 marla. You might be wondering why it is just a limited variety of plot cuttings. The answer is simple— Harmony Park aims to create low-cost apartments and plots in an effort to cater to all investors belonging to all income brackets.
Since this block is reserved for low-cost residential schemes, the availability of these plots and apartments will be extremely sparse— get your hands on these plots while you can! According to our sources, Harmony Park’s Overseas Phase One is coming to the market very soon.
Harmony Park Rates
As we have mentioned earlier, this block is being developed for the sole purpose of providing cost-effective and state-of-the-art real estate solutions. Below are the payment plans for the residential plots and the villa apartments respectively:
Payment Plan of Residential Plots
The Capital Smart City villas in Harmony Block are being offered at an affordable installment plan— 3.5 years. These 3.5 marla plots (or 90 sq. yards) are available for the total price of PKR 1,789,000. Booking and confirmation are both on PKR 1,78,900.
Additionally, you can pay off your 3.5 marla Harmony Plot in 42 monthly installments. Or 7 half-yearly installments. Moreover, you will be able to avail of a 5% discount on lump sum payments.
*These prices are exclusive development charges.
** extra charges are applicable to a select category of plots.
Prices for Harmony Park Apartments
Harmony Park offers its apartments in two different sizes. The first is a 660 sq ft apartment for PKR 2,685,000. The down payment and confirmation on this apartment will be PKR 268,500 each. Much like the Capital Smart City villas, these apartments are to be paid through 48- monthly installments or 8-half yearly installments.

![How to Make Your Studio Apartment Look Bigger [2021]](https://makeenmarketing.pk/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/WhatsApp-Image-2021-06-15-at-4.06.48-AM.jpeg)

This article aims to provide you with tips on how to make your studio apartment look bigger.
Moving out on your own can be a daunting task, especially if you’re working with lower square footage than what you’re used to. Many people think moving into a studio apartment means you need to cramp your entire life into a small, suffocating area.
This couldn’t be further from the truth. With a quick online search and dedication to your cause, you can make sure you get the most out of your living space. So, if you’re looking up how to make your studio apartment look bigger, Makeen has some tips for you.
Check this out: Furnished vs Unfurnished Apartments in Pakistan | 2021
Use Smart Storage
As you move into your new studio apartment, the biggest issue you’re bound to face is not having much space to stow away your belongings. Experts at Makeen Marketing are here to help you discover some ways to make a studio apartment look bigger.
Firstly, we’d advise you to purpose multifunctional furniture. This helps free up a lot of space— how cool would it be if your footstool doubled up as a storage cube? Look into bedframes with in-built cabinets or dining tables that spin open to seat more guests.
Living in a small studio apartment, you’ll learn to get nifty with the furniture purchase. Instead of installing massive closets that look drab and take up most of your living space, find storage in these different décor items.
Additionally, you can make the most of your closet and drawer space by using organizers that help you stow away your belongings in a compact and organized manner.
Dealing with a Smaller Kitchen Space
Perhaps the best way to make your studio’s kitchen appear larger is by leaving open countertops. We do this by keeping the amount of clutter on your counter to a minimum. Store your kitchen appliances like blenders and rice makers in cabinets to give the illusion of a spacious countertop.
Furthermore, hang your spice rack on your kitchen wall instead of placing it on the counter. The same can be done with kitchen knives— attach these to a magnetic strip on your wall to free up more space. We highly recommend these tricks if you’re thinking of how to make your studio apartment look bigger.
Ideas for a Smaller Bathroom
Bathrooms are the trickiest of all the areas to create space in. If not done right, they can very easily look untidy and in disarray.
We’d say decluttering one of the best ways to make a studio apartment look bigger. Apply this rule of thumb to your bathroom as well. Make sure your skincare and hair care products aren’t strewn about on the counter. Another thing you can do is keep items that can double as something else. For example, a magazine rack can also be a towel storage.

Use One Paint Color
Using a homogenous color theme can help your small studio apartment appear larger than it is. Applying a slurry of different colors can often give your room the feeling of being cluttered and suffocating. A steady and singular color theme. This will give your tiny space the illusion of openness.
Installing a Glass Partition
Another thing you need to do while considering how to make your studio apartment look bigger is installing a glass partition in your home.
It’s a known fact that one of the ways to make a studio apartment look bigger is by adding partitions. Think about it, if you walk into a very square looking studio apartment it’ll look small and drab. However, adding more dimensions to it will help you separate different zones of the home— it’ll look bigger as you’ll feel like you’re in a totally different part of your home.

Putting your house for sale is a sure-shot method of securing a profit by holding a fixed asset. You will have to give up the ownership of the house in exchange for money. If you keep a home safe with you and intend to use it later in the time of need, its value will only depreciate. You will need to maintain that vacant space, and that will have its own cost.
There are quite a few things you ought not to do when putting up your house for sale. Makeen Marketing will mention a detailed account of those things.

Don’t Forget to Fix Your House’s Topsy-Turvy State
When you decide to put your house for sale, make sure you square away it to make a first good impression on the to-be-owner. If it is untidy and cluttered, it would automatically look congested and crammed. It will not help you get the money you expect to get for your house. Fix everything; repaint the walls if they are dingy and have greasy fingerprints on them, ensure that all of the appliances operate correctly, and change the locks if necessary.
When you decide to sell your home, the realtor may bring clients to your home at any time of day. So, your house shouldn’t be in a state of disarray.
Never Ask for Unrealistic Prices
Once done with straightening up and staging your house for sale, decide what you want to charge for it. Advertise your home so that potential buyers are aware of its existence. Be smart with your prices. If you have a plot in Blue World City, do not demand exorbitant prices or undercharge compared to local market values. If you go above the market rate, the prospective buyer would find it pricey and will look for any other home nearby. And, if the rates are below the market average, then you’re the only one at a loss.
Never Finalize a Buyer Right Away
People that are interested in purchasing will contact you once you have advertised your house for sale. All you have to do is be available to attend to all the likely clients. Don’t ever limit the number of showings. Hold up for some period, check every potential buyer, and then select the best one between them. The “best one” means a small family, paying the best amount for the house.
Restrict Anyone from Taking Your Rights Away
An owner must understand his rights over his buyer as well as the buyer’s rights over him. Check the legislation pertaining to the owners and the to-be-owner, and then draught the legal documentation. Fulfill the buyer’s demands in accordance with the law and request that they do the same before you hand over the house for sale to them.
Avoid Any Pauses in The Drafting of the Legal Documents
The proprietor is responsible for completing the legal paperwork of the house for sale. Prepare them in line with what you and your buyer agreed upon beforehand. Review them and let the buyer do so as well. Then sign the paperwork together. Mention the house price in such paperwork, as well as how soon the buyer may move in.
Don’t Be Afraid to Request Advance Payments
Before transferring the house for sale, request that your potential purchaser pay you the advance fee, as well as any taxes imposed by the authorities. They must also pick when and on what day they will move in. So, you are there to check if they need any assistance.
Winding it up, as a homeowner, you would have to go through all of these onerous procedures. You may have to engage in time-consuming conversations and negotiation sessions with the clients, but it will be worthwhile in the end. You will receive a handsome amount for your house.
If you are not an owner and wish to become one, visit Lahore Smart City. Makeen Marketing will assist you with your plot reservation. Visit us at Plaza D1, Main PWD Road, Islamabad, or call us at our UAN 0330-0625336.

Housing societies in Pakistan’s capital city face cut-throat competition with one another. Today’s discussion will be between two neighboring housing societies in Islamabad: Park View City and Bahria Enclave.
Both of these housing societies have comparable market patterns, and prices are rising simultaneously. Despite all these similarities, they are poles apart from each other. Let’s take a closer look at how that’s feasible; and who will win this debate of Park View City vs Bahria Enclave.
Developers and Owners
Before making any investment, it is advisable to learn about the developers and their experience in the sector. So, in this Park View City vs Bahria Enclave discussion, get to know the developers of these societies.
Let’s get to know the people behind Park View City. Vision Group is responsible for the development of PVC. . The company has now become a key player in the Pakistani real estate market. The Vision group has not confined itself to real estate but has gone beyond to put its abilities to the test. It has just made its debut in education and is also a part of many welfare programs. This group has brought its Lahore brand to Islamabad, launching Park View City Islamabad.
You may have seen the emergence of Bahria Town and its immense popularity in the real estate industry in recent years. Everybody can recognize who the brain behind the Bahria Town project is: Malik Riaz. Bahria Enclave is yet another venture by Bahria Town Pvt. Ltd. These developers have projects across the country. So, when it comes to the developers and owners of Bahria Enclave, real estate investors can trust them with their money and profit from the amenities they provide.

Location
The location for both the housing societies is the same, considering that they are neighbors. But we will check their accessibility in this Park View City vs Bahria Enclave debate.
The Park View City location makes it easy to enter the housing society via Kurri Road, Simli Dam Road, and Malot Road. Previously, when the idea of introducing the Park View City brand to Islamabad was conceived, accessibility was an issue. But now, in the new CDA announcement, it has been proposed to widen these roads that link Park View City to Islamabad’s city center. The widening of these roads will ultimately reduce traffic congestion and allow smooth traffic flow in the area.
Near Chak Shehzad is where you will find the Bahria Enclave location. Because this housing society is next door to Park View City, the access roads are the same: Park Road, Kuri Road, and Malot Road.
We’ve seen a spate of housing societies that claim to be in Islamabad but aren’t in the city. So, one thing is sure in this comparison: both of these housing communities are in Islamabad’s Zone 4. You can locate it on the CDA Islamabad Map.
Park View City Vs Bahria Enclave — Total Land and Project Plan
The Park View City total area is around 7000 Kanals. The following fact may startle you: Park View City Islamabad has thirteen blocks! These are the blocks: A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, J, M, N, and, lastly, Overseas Block. Plot cuts ranging from 5 Marla to 2 Kanal are available in these blocks.
Bahria Enclave, on the other hand, has two phases. Phase 1 near Mouza Malot covers 836 Kanals, whereas Phase 2 near Mouza Phulgran has 1180 Kanal. Finally, Phase II of the Agro Farming Scheme spans a total of 2047 Kanal. Each inch of these 4063 Kanal is included in CDA approved housing societies.
Payment Plans
Investors’ final decision on whether or not to invest is based on the payment plan. They are unlikely to put their money into a housing society with a high cost and less flexibility. So, to compare the payment plans of these societies, we are having this Park View City vs Bahria Enclave contest. Take a look at it to see which option best fits your budget.
We will mention the Park View City payment plan for an overseas block that an investor can pay over 2 years in installments.
- 5 Marla (26 X 50) for PKR 5,000,000
- 10 Marla (35 X 70) for PKR 8,500,000
- 1 Kanal (50 X 90) for PKR 18,500,000
The following is the payment plan for the Bahria Enclave residential plots. Giving exact cost is not possible because prices vary according to the plot location.
- 5 Marla for PKR 40-50 lac
- 8 Marla for PKR 50-80 lac
- 10 Marla for PKR 80-90 lac
- 20 Marla for PKR 1.4-1.7 crore
Because both housing societies are neighbors, the prices dont differ much. But if you are looking for a more affordable housing society, check out Blue World City.
Booking Process
The ease with which a person can reserve a plot attracts more and more investors. A housing society with a cumbersome booking process would not be on the investor’s favorite list. In this Park View City vs Bahria Enclave debate, lets see who has the not-so-easy booking process.
The overseas block booking at Park View City is now open. You’re probably wondering how to reserve a 5 Marla plot in Park View Islamabad. Makeen Marketing will take care of everything for you. All you need to do is bring the papers listed below to our office.
- a copy of your CNIC
- a copy of your next-of-CNIC kin’s
- two passport-size photos
We’ll take care of everything for you. After completing the process, in a month or two, we will notify you of the actual position of your plot in the overseas block.
The plot booking for Bahria Enclave is currently closed. The only resale of previously purchased plots is permitted. It’s a long and winding road ahead. Finding real estate agents, paying their commission, and then sorting out the taxes payable to obtain a transfer letter is a part of the process.
Development Phase
Development work is a crucial facet of the Park View City vs Bahria Enclave debate.
The Park View City entrance gate is now complete, and work on the 200-foot-wide main boulevard is underway, and the expectation is that it will complete soon. Furthermore, development work has been undertaken in Blocks A and B ahead of schedule. The developers are now moving on to the next block to begin construction.
On the other side, Bahria Enclave has over 70% of the earthwork done, service and utilities have begun to reach the housing society, and the sewerage system is nearing completion. Fiber Optics will soon be laid in Bahria Enclave. Following the contract, PTCL will install fiber optic lines in Bahria Enclave.
Lifestyle Offered
The botanical gardens are next to Park View City. This housing society is only a 1-minute walk away from these gardens. These gardens are left intact because they will offer residents a healthier lifestyle by decreasing pollution. The overseas block specifically will be home to Park View City’s most prestigious plot owners. They will have access to all of the latest conveniences.
Bahria Town Pvt. Ltd. has raised the bar for the housing societies by the lifestyle it is offering. Bahria Enclave stands out from other projects in the Park View City vs Bahria Enclave dispute because it incorporates both modern and traditional Pakistani art into its design. It is currently in the eyes of overseas and local investors due to the luxuries it promises to offer. Bahria Town Pvt. Ltd. was the pioneer of providing a luxury lifestyle in the real estate market in Pakistan. Investors should expect nothing less from the developers this time as well.
Let’s hope we’ve covered everything you needed to know about these adjacent housing societies and answered all of your questions. For similar information regarding other housing societies, please contact us on our UAN 0330-0625336. Bring the documents mentioned above to our office at Plaza D1, on the main PWD Road, in Islamabad, to reserve a plot in one of the best housing societies in Islamabad.
