Faisal Town Phase 2’s Overseas Enclave | Why Are Saudi Pakistanis Investing in FT2?

A creative conceptual image linking Saudi Arabia and Pakistan for real estate investment.

Talk to enough Pakistanis working in Saudi Arabia about property back home, and one name keeps coming up: the Faisal Town Phase 2’s Overseas Enclave. It’s not the only option available to overseas buyers near Islamabad and Rawalpindi, but it’s become a common reference point in these conversations for a specific set of reasons that go beyond just marketing.

This guide covers what the Overseas Enclave actually is, why it resonates specifically with Saudi-based Pakistanis, and what to check before you commit to booking a plot there.

Overview:

The Overseas Enclave is one of several blocks within Faisal Town Phase 2, but it stands apart because of who it was built for. Rather than treating overseas Pakistanis as an afterthought within a broader project, this block was designed from the outset around a single, specific audience: Pakistanis living and working outside the country.

Who This Guide Is For

This guide is written for Pakistanis currently living and working in Saudi Arabia who are considering a plot in the Overseas Enclave, whether you’re comparing it against other options or already leaning toward booking here specifically.

A Note on Verifying Current Figures With Your Dealer

Pricing, availability, and development progress in the Overseas Enclave can shift over time. It’s worth checking current details directly with your authorized dealer before making a payment decision based on this guide alone.

Why This Block Exists: Built Specifically for Remote Buyers

Most housing societies in Pakistan sell to overseas Pakistanis as a secondary market, layering remote booking options onto a process originally built for local buyers. The Overseas Enclave takes a different approach.

How the Overseas Enclave Differs From Other Blocks

In blocks built primarily for local buyers, remote booking often works, but it can feel like an adaptation rather than the default path. In the Overseas Enclave, remote documentation and payment aren’t an exception to standard practice; they are the standard practice.

Why Saudi Pakistanis Specifically Are Drawn to This Block

Saudi Arabia is home to one of the largest overseas Pakistani communities in the world, and a meaningful share of that community has spent years sending money home, whether for family support, savings, or property. A few factors together explain why this block comes up so often among Saudi-based buyers:

  • Remittance patterns: a long-established community with strong ties to sending money home
  • NICOP-driven discount access genuinely reachable for most Saudi-based Pakistanis
  • Currency positioning: SAR earnings converting into meaningful PKR value
  • Community word of mouth a strong network effect once a project becomes familiar within a specific overseas community

Remittance Patterns and Saudi Arabia’s Overseas Pakistani Community

Saudi Arabia has long been one of the largest sources of remittances sent back to Pakistan, reflecting the size and duration of the Pakistani community working there. Property has traditionally been one of the most common uses for these remittances.

The NICOP-Driven Overseas Discount Advantage

Buyers who book using a NICOP qualify for a larger lump-sum discount than local buyers, a distinction covered in more detail in our dedicated guide on NICOP versus other residency documents. For Saudi-based Pakistanis, many of whom already hold a NICOP or can apply for one through Saudi-based Pakistani missions, this discount is genuinely accessible.

Currency Positioning — SAR Earnings Against PKR Pricing

Since Faisal Town Phase 2’s pricing is set in PKR, a Saudi Riyal salary can convert into a meaningful amount of Pakistani currency, particularly during periods when the rupee is weaker against the riyal. This dynamic doesn’t guarantee favorable timing on any given payment, since currency movement works in both directions.

Community Word of Mouth and Network Effects

Property decisions among overseas communities rarely happen in isolation. Once a handful of people from the same city or workplace in Saudi Arabia book plots in the same project, it tends to create a ripple effect, with colleagues, relatives, and friends following through the same dealer or contact. This pattern isn’t unique to the Overseas Enclave, but it’s a genuine reason the block keeps coming up repeatedly in conversations among Saudi-based Pakistanis rather than staying an isolated choice.

Who’s Behind the Overseas Enclave

Knowing who’s actually developing and building the Overseas Enclave matters for the same reason it matters with any large purchase from abroad.

Faisal Town Group and Chaudhry Abdul Majeed

The Overseas Enclave, like the rest of Faisal Town Phase 2, is developed under Faisal Town Group, led by Chaudhry Abdul Majeed. Our dedicated guide on the company’s background covers his career history and the group’s wider project portfolio.

Alongside Faisal Town Group, the mechanical and engineering work within the Overseas Enclave is reportedly handled by CAM Constructions, also under Chaudhry Abdul Majeed’s ownership.

Location and Accessibility From a Saudi Buyer’s Perspective

For a buyer who may only visit the site once or twice before making a decision, understanding location on paper matters more than it would for someone who can drive by whenever they like.

Distance to Key Access Points

Access PointApprox. Drive Time
Chakri Road~2 minutes
Thalian Interchange / M-2 Motorway~4 minutes
Rawalpindi Ring Road~5 minutes
Islamabad International Airport~10 minutes

These figures can shift depending on traffic and the exact route taken, so confirm current travel times with your dealer if this matters to your decision.

Nearby Landmarks Worth Knowing

A few landmarks come up consistently in descriptions of the surrounding area, including Fatima Jinnah Women’s University and Capital Smart City. Recognizing these names can help you orient yourself if you’re checking the location independently on a map.

Plot Sizes and Payment Plan Snapshot

Once you understand the location and the reasoning behind why Saudi-based buyers gravitate toward this block, the practical numbers matter just as much.

Six Plot Sizes Available

The Overseas Enclave offers six residential plot sizes:

  • 5.56 Marla
  • 8 Marla
  • 10.89 Marla
  • 14.22 Marla
  • 1 Kanal
  • 2 Kanal

This range gives buyers flexibility depending on budget, from smaller entry-level plots to larger sizes suited to bigger builds or long-term holding.

Down Payment, Installments, and Lump-Sum Discount

Every plot size follows the same payment structure: a down payment, followed by 36 monthly installments over a total plan spanning several years, with a 20% lump-sum discount available for overseas buyers who pay the full amount upfront. Our full SAR to PKR guide breaks this down plot by plot with exact figures converted into Saudi Riyals.

Which Plot Size Suits Which Saudi-Based Buyer

Since Saudi-based Pakistanis come with a wide range of income levels and goals, it helps to see roughly which plot sizes tend to suit different situations, based on the confirmed installment figures.

Buyer ProfileSuggested Plot SizeMonthly Installment (PKR)
Earlier-career, smaller monthly budget5.56 MarlaRs 60,000
Mid-career, moderate savings capacity8 Marla or 10.89 MarlaRs 80,000 – 105,000
Established income, planning to build soon14.22 MarlaRs 135,000
Higher income or joint family investment1 Kanal or 2 KanalRs 185,000 – 370,000

This is a general starting point, not a strict rule. Your own budget, savings goals, and whether you’re paying in installments or as a lump sum should guide the final decision, ideally in conversation with your dealer once you’ve narrowed down a range.
