Army Welfare Trust Housing Society

Army Welfare Trust also represented as AWT, is a business branch of the Pakistan Army. It mainly includes retired army officers. It is tangled in assorted business portfolios, together with Financial Sector, Agriculture Sector, Real Estate, and many more. Effective housing schemes have been in a row in Lahore, Karachi, and Islamabad. The society has its head office in the AWT Plaza on The Mall Road, Rawalpindi.

Development Status

AWT D-18 Islamabad has launched around 20 years ago with the idea of providing inexpensive housing to army officials and other employees of AWT in Islamabad. The housing structure comprises blocks A, B, C, D, E, F, G, and H. All blocks are wholly established and complete for construction. There is just a scarce house built in Society. Still, more construction is projected after the Sangjani Interchange is complete and undoes up direct access to Society.

The community is predictable for inauguration a few more blocks after the completion of the Interchange because the claim for properties is much higher than the number of plots available in the Society. The builders will make additional expansions to cater to the increasing demands.

Project Features

AWT Islamabad is a fully developed housing scheme. It has all utilities and facilities, including roads, streets, street lights, sewerage, water, electricity, and gas.

A concrete boundary wall surrounds the Society, an additional AWT feature. It has planned parks, mosques, commercial areas, schools, hospitals, cinemas, etc. in the scheme. They will be available for the residents of AWT as soon as the Society is inhabited. It is expected to be fully populated in the next 4 to 5 years due to the increasing investment trend in Society.

Investment Potential

AWT is an ideal investment opportunity in Islamabad due to 3 significant developments.

1- New Islamabad Airport

2- Sangjani Interchange on Motorway

3- Margalla Avenue

New Islamabad Airport

New Islamabad Airport is more than 90% complete and is close to the AWT Housing Society. Society is neither very adjacent to it nor too distant. It lies at just about a 10-minute drive from AWT. This scheme gives AWT an advantage in that it turns out to be an ideal residence for the people in business, airlines and civil aviation staff, and travelers coming into the city. The most noteworthy international airport in a close neighborhood makes it a decent investment opportunity.

Sangjani Interchange on Motorway

Sangjani Interchange is the sustenance of AWT. This will provide a straight entree to Society through the Motorway. The construction work is ongoing, and the project is anticipated to be complete by March or April 2014. This project is more important for AWT than any other housing scheme because the Society doesn’t have direct access, which is a substantial undesirable aspect. As soon as instant access is open, people will be more relaxed building houses and shifting their businesses in Society.

Margalla Avenue

It is like another Kashmir highway opening from D12 and likely to touch Sangjani Interchange on the Motorway. It will offer easy admittance to the Islamabad center from B-17, D-17, and D-18. This project is still ongoing and was likely to be finished by the end of 2014. The distance of AWT from F-10 through Margalla Avenue will be around 20 minutes drive only. This adds value to Society and hence expands investment inclinations.

Conclusion
