Details and Updates of Blue World City Overseas Block

The Overseas Block is a separate section of Blue World City, the Blue Group of Companies project on the outskirts of Islamabad. It is aimed at overseas Pakistanis and foreign buyers and is marketed as a higher-end residential area. This article summarises the block as described in January 2023; plans may have changed since.

Location

The block is situated near the new Islamabad International Airport, which gives residents convenient access for international travel. For routes into the wider project, see Blue World City access points.

Planned amenities

The developer’s stated aim is a self-contained community, with day-to-day facilities available within the block. Planned amenities include:

• Large open parks
• Swimming pools and sports facilities
• Shopping centres and plazas
• Schools
• Electricity and water supply
• The Blue Mosque, modelled on Turkish Islamic architecture, in the wider project

Property types

The block is planned to include apartments, townhouses and villas in a range of sizes and styles, alongside plots in different sizes.

Payment plan

Blue World City sells on installment plans, which the source described as running for up to 40 months. Request the current Overseas Block plan for exact figures — see Blue World City payment plans 2023 for historical figures across other blocks.

Points to weigh

• Rental and resale: demand from overseas buyers and the airport location may support rental interest, but returns are not assured.
• Commercial activity: commercial opportunities are expected to grow as the wider project develops.
• Setting: the project is away from the city, which suits buyers looking for a quieter environment.
• Approval: check the project’s current legal status — see Blue World City legal status — and verify with the Rawalpindi Development Authority.
