Saffron City Rawalpindi: A Promising Location With an Unsettled Approval Question
ID: #767973
Listed In : Business & Services Real Estate
Business Description
Saffron City Rawalpindi is a housing project on the Main GT Road near Rawat, between Islamabad and Rawalpindi, developed by Saadullah Khan & Brothers (SKB). It offers 5 Marla, 10 Marla, and 1 Kanal residential plots along with commercial plots on installment plans, with access to DHA, Giga Mall, the Islamabad Expressway, and the Rawalpindi Ring Road . However, the project's approval status is genuinely confusing. Some listings and marketing pages claim it is fully RDA-approved with an NOC granted in January 2025 , while a more detailed source states it currently holds only a Letter of Permission (LoP) for approximately 882 Kanal, not a final NOC . More significantly, a September 2026 report states that the RDA issued a show-cause notice to Saffron City for allegedly marketing and booking plots without the required NOC, confirming that 882.85 Kanal has been approved but flagging sales outside that sanction . Buyers should verify the NOC directly with the RDA and confirm whether their specific plot falls within the approved layout before investing.
