Searching for Faisal Town Nova City usually means one thing: you’ve got two options and you’re stuck between them. Both schemes sit on the outer edge of Islamabad and Rawalpindi. Plots are offered on installment plans in each project. Meanwhile, both rely on the Rawalpindi Ring Road in their advertising. Put them side by side on paper and you’d struggle to tell them apart.
Look closer and the picture changes. Access routes, block names, plot definitions, payment structures and approval records don’t line up. And the prices you see in ads leave out charges that can shift your real budget quite a bit.
Here’s what this comparison covers: location, road access, plot sizes, blocks, prices, payment plans, development, possession and legal checks. Official information sits apart from dealer claims. Anything nobody has confirmed gets flagged as unconfirmed. Since most figures come from dealer and marketing pages, think of them as reference points, not quotes.

Faisal Town Phase 2 vs Nova City: Location and Access
Location is the first thing most people check when they look into Faisal Town Nova City. The two answers sit much further apart than the marketing would have you believe.
Faisal Town Phase 2 Location
According to marketing pages, the project sits beside the Thalian Interchange on the M-2 Motorway, with a master plan of up to 80,000 Kanal. Only the project itself makes that claim, so it’s unverified. Airport distances are all over the map as well. One page gives five minutes and another gives 10 to 15. Take both as rough estimates, not measured drives. There’s more on this in the Faisal Town Phase 2 location page.
Nova City Islamabad Location
Nova City is listed near Fateh Jang Road and the CPEC route. Its main entrance is on Bango Kanial Road, and a second entrance is planned close to the Ring Road. The road name shows up in several spellings, so find it on a map yourself. Which motorway it connects to depends on who you ask. One listing says M-14 and puts the airport 20 minutes away, while a Sky Marketing overview says M-2.
What the Location Difference Means for Buyers
Faisal Town Phase 2 builds its pitch around M-2 and the Thalian side. Nova City is closer to Fateh Jang and relies on an interchange that’s only proposed. Planning a daily commute into Islamabad? Drive both routes during rush hour. Counting on the airport corridor? Ask which access points are working at the moment. A number of minutes in an advertisement says little about what an 8 a.m. drive feels like.
Road Access and Major Connectivity
Ads love to blur the line between roads that exist and roads that are still coming. Putting each road in one of three buckets clears that up.
Operational. The M-2 Motorway is open and in use. Listings name Bango Kanial Road as Nova City’s entrance, though you’ll need to see its condition for yourself.
Under development. This is where the Rawalpindi Ring Road goes. Four of its five interchanges are complete. The fifth is not. The toll booths are in their final stage of work.
Planned or proposed. One dealer page claims permission for a special Nova City interchange on M-14. Getting permission doesn’t put an interchange on the ground. Officials have also said the Thalian Interchange will move forward as its own project once the Ring Road opens.
Rawalpindi Ring Road: What It Means for the Comparison
This 38.3 kilometre road has slipped past its inauguration date more than once. Mid-September reports suggest it will open with no ceremony. Before you pass any of this along, check where things stand now.
Thalian is the end that matters for Faisal Town Phase 2. It’s where the corridor meets M-2, and it’s also the interchange that’s still incomplete. Any promise of direct Ring Road access there describes something in the future. Nova City listings talk about a “CPEC-Ring Road interchange,” yet the interchanges actually reported are Banth, Chak Beli Khan, Adiala, Chakri and Thalian. Which one do they mean? Ask the seller, and ask whether it’s built. Better connectivity may improve access, but it doesn’t guarantee a return.
Plot Sizes: 5, 8, 10 and 14 Marla Compared
Start by checking that each size exists in both projects before you look at any price. The word “Marla” causes trouble here, since the two projects don’t define some sizes the same way.
5 Marla Plots
In Faisal Town Phase 2, a 5.56 Marla plot measures 25×50 feet, which is 139 square yards. Nova City’s 5 Marla plot is listed at 125 square yards. Same label, roughly 11 percent more land at Faisal Town. Nova City also offers 3.5 Marla residential plots in Pueblo Block, giving smaller budgets one more route in. Whichever you pick, look at block, payment plan and possession first. Price comes after.
8 Marla Plots
Faisal Town Phase 2 lists its 8 Marla plots at 30×60 feet, or 200 square yards. Nova City places its 8 Marla plots in the E-Sports Block, and one guide puts them at 240 square yards. Pay per Marla and you could get a different amount of land in each project. Ask for the dimensions in writing.
10 Marla Plots
Faisal Town Phase 2 sells 10.89 Marla plots measuring 35×70 feet, or 272 square yards. Nova City lists 10 Marla plots too. One page says 250 square yards, another says 300. Pin down the block and the dimensions before you compare anything.
14 Marla Plots
Both projects list 14 Marla plots. At Faisal Town it’s 14.22 Marla, 40×80 feet, or 356 square yards, while one Nova City guide gives 420. Looking for a bigger home? Compare block, dimensions and possession. The Marla figure on its own tells you very little.
Why the Same Plot Size Can Have a Different Value
Two 10 Marla plots in different blocks aren’t automatically comparable. Value moves with a handful of things:
- Block and location inside the project
- Road width, boulevard frontage and corner status
- Park-facing position
- Possession and development stage
- Utilities and transfer status
- Outstanding payment liability
One dealer page says Faisal Town Phase 2 adds 15 percent for corner plots and 10 percent for main road plots. That kind of premium can wipe out whatever you saved on the headline price.
Faisal Town Phase 2 Blocks vs Nova City Blocks
A project-level comparison only gets you halfway there. Every block comes with its own sizes, timeline and payment plan.
Faisal Town Phase 2 Blocks
Dealer pages name the Model Block (covering Sector O, Q Block and R Block), the Overseas Enclave, and a CBD with commercial plots. N Block appears with a four-year plan of 16 quarterly installments. Sector X, which goes by Ring Road Executive District, is marketed as a newer block near the Ring Road. Payment plans vary block by block. One page says the Model Block sells for full payment only, while others show installment plans for it. Confirm each block’s plan with the seller.
Nova City Blocks
One listing gives the E-Sports Block 8 and 14 Marla plots. Another lists sizes running from 5 Marla up to 1 Kanal. Pueblo Block has 3.5 Marla residential plots plus 4 and 8 Marla commercial plots. The Overseas Block has 5 and 10 Marla plots. Sources disagree on some of these sizes, so check each block’s own layout.
Why Block-Level Comparison Matters
Buying a plot goes project, then block, then plot, then payment liability. Compare across different blocks, plot categories or development stages and a headline price stops meaning much. If you keep just one habit from this guide, make it this.
Faisal Town Phase 2 vs Nova City Prices in 2026
Prices come in four kinds. Keep them separate:
- Official developer price: shown in an official payment plan or document.
- Current market asking price: requested by a seller today.
- Dealer-advertised price: marketing figures that still need verification.
- Resale or listing price: a secondary-market asking price.
No official developer price sheet turned up in the public information reviewed for either project. Every figure below is therefore dealer-advertised.
Faisal Town Phase 2 Prices
| Plot size | Block | Price | Source type | Context |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 5.56 Marla | Model Block (Sector O), Overseas Enclave | PKR 3,495,000 | Dealer-advertised | 2026 dealer page |
| 8 Marla | Model Block (Sector O), Overseas Enclave | PKR 4,665,000 | Dealer-advertised | 2026 dealer page |
| 10.89 Marla | Model Block (Sector O), Overseas Enclave | PKR 6,065,000 | Dealer-advertised | 2026 dealer page |
| 14.22 Marla | Model Block (Sector O), Overseas Enclave | PKR 7,585,000 | Dealer-advertised | 2026 dealer page |
That dealer also offers 20 percent off for lump-sum payment. Under that discount, the 5.56 Marla plot drops to PKR 2,790,000 and the 14.22 Marla plot to PKR 6,060,000. The seller’s own figures are in the Faisal Town Phase 2 plot prices post.
Nova City Islamabad Prices
| Plot size | Block | Price | Source type | Context |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 5 Marla | Residential | PKR 2,750,000 | Dealer-advertised | Older page, roughly two years old |
| 8 Marla | Residential | PKR 4,040,000 | Dealer-advertised | Older page |
| 10 Marla | Residential | PKR 5,000,000 | Dealer-advertised | Older page |
| 14 Marla | Residential | PKR 6,750,000 | Dealer-advertised | Older page |
The figures above come from an older dealer table. Other pages quote very different numbers, such as PKR 2,475,000 and PKR 1,995,000 for a 5 Marla plot, and they don’t date them clearly. Nothing verified for 2026 turned up for Nova City. Get a written, dated schedule from the seller.
Why Advertised Price Can Mislead
The headline number isn’t the total you’ll pay. Development charges, possession payments, transfer fees, utility charges, category premiums, taxes and documentation costs may all land on top. Budget only with amounts you’ve verified.
Faisal Town Phase 2 Payment Plan vs Nova City Payment Plan
Give the payment plan as much thought as the total price.
Faisal Town Phase 2 Payment Plan
Dealer pages describe a down payment and then 36 monthly installments. On a 5.56 Marla plot that means PKR 1,335,000 down and PKR 60,000 each month. On a 14.22 Marla plot it’s PKR 2,725,000 and PKR 135,000. Check the sum: PKR 1,335,000 plus 36 payments of PKR 60,000 gives PKR 3,495,000.
Not every source matches, though. One dealer describes 17 quarterly installments, and a PKR 20,000 registration fee comes on top of the plot value. Before booking, get the latest Faisal Town Phase 2 payment plan confirmed by the seller.
Nova City Payment Plan
The standard structure runs like this: 10 percent booking, 10 percent on confirmation, 40 monthly installments, 8 half-yearly installments, and the balance on possession. Take a 5 Marla plot in the older table. Booking is PKR 295,000 and confirmation is PKR 295,000, followed by 40 monthly payments of PKR 18,950, eight half-yearly payments of PKR 79,000, and PKR 770,000 on possession. Together that’s PKR 2,750,000. Amounts today may differ, so measure them against the seller’s current offer.
Monthly Payment vs Total Cost
A small monthly installment doesn’t add up to a small total. Nova City’s older monthly figure looks light beside Faisal Town’s PKR 60,000, but half-yearly payments and a hefty possession payment come with it. The two plans also come from different dates. Compare how each is built, not just the monthly number.
What Buyers Should Calculate
Here’s the formula:
Total payable = booking + confirmation/allocation + installments + balloon payments + development/utility/other applicable charges
Enter a written, dated figure for every part. Anything the seller hasn’t confirmed stays blank.
Development Status in 2026
What a brochure says and what’s actually built are different matters. Faisal Town Phase 2 pages claim 90 percent of the land is leveled. One Nova City dealer page says over 70 percent of land cutting is finished, with the main entrance and boulevard running. An older Nova City page, though, already claimed 70 to 80 percent. So the figure has hardly moved, which makes it weak proof of progress. Ask for dated photos of your particular block, then visit the site in person. The developer’s latest development updates are a reasonable place to begin, but they remain developer material.
Possession and On-Ground Readiness
Development, possession, utilities, construction and transferability are all separate things. A finished road doesn’t give you possession. A possession announcement doesn’t mean each block looks the same on the ground. One dealer page quotes possession within one to 1.5 years for Faisal Town’s Sector O. Another says possession has been announced in Nova City’s Overseas and E-Sports blocks. Nobody has independently confirmed either claim, so ask for the possession notice tied to your plot number.
NOC, Approval and Legal Checks
“The project is approved” means nothing until you know the authority, the document, the phase and the date.
Faisal Town Phase 2. Sources conflict. One dealer page says the Rawalpindi Development Authority hasn’t approved the NOC. A Faisal Town page shows the status as under process and tells buyers to check with the sales office. Another calls it RDA approved and NOC cleared. No approval letter appeared on any page reviewed. The developer also publishes its own NOC page. That counts as developer information, so compare it with the authority’s record.
Nova City Islamabad. Dealer pages cite a PHATA letter, PHATA/W-I/PHS/2021/690, covering 903 Kanal. Another page gives 970.49 Kanal, with 1,317 residential and 242 commercial plots. A few pages still describe the NOC as under process, most likely because they’re outdated.
Area counts too. One overview claims 32,500 Kanal in total. If that’s correct, the approved portion is only a small share, so confirm your block sits inside the approved layout.
Why Buyers Should Check the Exact Phase and Block
Project name, phase, block, extension, revised layout and approved area each mean something different. A document for one area says nothing about approval for another. Dealer pages note that Faisal Town Phase 1 holds RDA approval over 1,231 Kanal, and that doesn’t carry over to Phase 2 automatically. Likewise, Nova City’s approved Kanal count may not reach every block sold under the same name.
Which Factors Matter Most for Different Buyers?
If Your Main Concern Is Location
Compare your daily route, existing roads, highway access and peak-hour travel time. Go drive it.
If Your Main Concern Is Monthly Affordability
Compare booking, monthly installment, balloon payments, total payable and extra charges. A comfortable monthly number can hide a heavy possession bill.
If You Want a 5 Marla Plot
Check availability, block, payment plan, development, possession and total cost. Also remember that 5.56 Marla and 5 Marla are not the same amount of land.
If You Need a Larger Plot
With 8, 10 and 14 Marla, block and location can outweigh price. Confirm dimensions in square yards.
If You Are Depending on Future Infrastructure
Treat existing connectivity and planned connectivity as two separate lists. A future road is no guarantee of appreciation.
The Advertised Price Is Not the Full Cost
Budget for every layer: booking, installments, balloon payments, development, possession and utility charges, transfer, documentation, taxes, and premiums for corner, boulevard or park-facing plots. Count only what the seller confirms in writing. Dealer pages for Faisal Town Phase 2 mention a registration fee and category surcharges. For Nova City, older plans make possession payments a large final stage. Ask for a full cost sheet before you pay a rupee.
Faisal Town Phase 2 vs Nova City: The 2026 Reality Check
This part is where the comparison gets more useful.
Advertisement. Marketing shows boulevards, airport minutes and “direct access.” Mostly it comes from dealers, and it changes from page to page.
Verification. Official records answer narrower questions: which authority approved what, on which date, for which area. For this research, neither project had an approval document a reader could open.
On-Ground Reality. Progress in a single block can look very different from project-wide claims. A site visit and dated photos are the only way to settle it.
Financial Reality. You pay the plan, the charges and the premiums. The headline is not what leaves your account. Add everything up before you compare.
Common Mistakes Buyers Make in This Comparison
- Comparing two projects only by total price.
- Ignoring the block.
- Assuming the cheapest installment means the cheapest purchase.
- Treating planned infrastructure as completed.
- Accepting a dealer’s NOC claim without checking the authority record.
- Ignoring additional charges.
- Comparing an official plan price with a resale asking price as if they match.
- Using project-level information to make a plot-level decision.

Faisal Town Phase 2 vs Nova City: What Should You Check Before Deciding?
At first glance, Faisal Town and Nova City may seem like a like-for-like choice, but the details tell a different story. Plot sizes cover different areas, blocks follow different plans, and approval records tell different stories.
