I-8 Islamabad Plot Prices 2026 — FBR Value & Guide

I-8 is the one sector in this group that FBR itself ranks above two G-series names most people assume outrank it. On the S.R.O. 644(I)/2026 gazette, I-8 shares a line with G-6/1-2 at Rs 140,000 per square yard — above G-7, G-8, G-9, G-10 and G-11 on the same table. That is a regulator's notified value, not a market survey, but it is a fact almost nobody publishes about I-8, and it sets the frame for everything below.

What I-8 is

I-8 is a CDA-administered sector in the lettered grid, roughly 5 km from Blue Area on OpenStreetMap's own coordinates (straight-line, not road distance — see the note below). It carries sub-sectors I-8/1 through I-8/4 around a Markaz, and is generally described as an established residential sector rather than one still under development. We did not find a primary CDA possession notice dated for I-8 in this session's research, so we describe it as established on the weight of its live listing profile (Kanal-scale houses and plots, not raw land) rather than asserting a possession date we cannot cite.

FBR’s notified value

This is the tax-base value used for §236C/236K and CGT computations — not a market price. Full ladder with every sector on the gazette: FBR valuation table, Islamabad.

Live asking prices, 4 September 2026

Zameen listed 15 plots for sale in I-8 at the time we checked (12 residential, 3 commercial) — a thin sample, so treat the bands as indicative, not a market average. All figures below are asking prices; no transacted register exists for this sector.

Compare I-8's asking cluster against FBR's notified 7.0 Cr/Kanal: the 12–14 Marla band alone already asks 2–3× the gazette value on a per-Kanal basis — a normal and expected gap between a tax valuation and a market ask, but worth having the actual numbers for.

Distance and the CDA regime

Straight-line distance from I-8's OSM centre to Blue Area: ≈5.0 km (computed from coordinates, not a driving route — treat it as a lower bound). We could not find a sourced Zero Point coordinate in our OpenStreetMap dataset, so that distance is left off rather than guessed; see the sectors map for the same discipline applied sector-wide. I-8 is a CDA sector, not a private housing society — there is no society NOC question to ask here, only the standard CDA file-transfer route through CDA One Window: documented step by step.
