There is fresh movement in Islamabad’s public housing pipeline. The FGEHA G-13/1 apartment project — a stalled development for government employees in Sector G-13 — is set to resume construction by the end of July or early August 2026. For a market watching supply closely, the revival of a paused project is a positive signal. Here is what we know.
What is the FGEHA G-13/1 project?
The G-13/1 apartments are one of two apartment developments the Federal Government Employees Housing Authority (FGEHA) is building in Sector G-13, Islamabad, primarily for government employees. Sector G-13 is a well-established, centrally located address, which makes any new supply there attractive to allottees and the wider market.
Why it stalled – and what is changing
The project was previously being executed by M/s EHFPRO (Private) Limited before work stopped. According to FGEHA Director Staff Faiz Umer, all formalities for the second apartment project in G-13/1 are now in their final stages, and construction will resume after formal Board approval, expected by the end of July or in early August 2026.

Why project revivals matter for the market
Stalled projects tie up capital and dent buyer confidence. When authorities restart them, it signals renewed momentum and adds much-needed housing supply. It also fits a broader recovery — see why Pakistan’s real estate market is rebounding in 2026 and how the government plans to unlock its land bank for housing through public-private partnerships.
The bigger Islamabad-Rawalpindi picture
Public housing revivals in Islamabad complement major infrastructure in the twin cities. With the Rawalpindi Ring Road opening in July 2026, connectivity and new supply are improving together – a combination that historically supports property values across the region.
- More completed units ease pressure on housing supply.
- Restarted projects rebuild confidence among buyers and allottees.
- Central sectors like G-13 tend to hold value well.
- Momentum in public housing often spills over into private demand.
For private buyers who want a planned community with clear ownership and strong long-term prospects, the best housing society in Rawalpindi remains a compelling option.
