Review regarding Park Avenue Apartments F-11 Islamabad

[pistonhead]

I would like some help since I am thinking about purchasing an apartment in Park Avenue in F-11/1. Is any pakwheeler or any relativies living there who can tell me honestly about the building, its faults if any as well as the living conditions.

I have already pretty much made up my mind on the building since it suits my budget and the atmosphere seems nice.

I would appreciate some help from my fellow pakwheelers

Islamabad is on Fault line any structure complex above 20 feet from base level, without tech civil 'earthquake proof' base will be a disaster ask the developer/ builder for tech specs of earthquake-proofing. or else stay away.

Depending on number of rooms, floor, building, covered area & view, upwards of 6 million

who will verify the design. they will say its designed for it but who can vet the design, CDA design team.. damn they are already even approving low grade steel from cheap steel factories. being a Civil Engineer and worked on repairs of the PaK towers after Oct EQ in 2005 right next to the margalla towers, I can tell you there are so much bits and pieces which can make things wrong. If even the engineer designed for EQ, what about GC, poor construction. high water to cement ratio, poor concrete strengths and improper quality control..

Still looking for feedback from people who are living in the building or have lived in it

Hi. Did you eventually buy it? I am thinking of renting an apartment there for my family. Is it a decent place to live at? Thanks.

Yes, I have been living there for close to 5 years now Alhamdullilah. It's been a good experience, especially in terms of security which was of primary importance to me. No issues of water which is a blessing, no unwanted doorbells and an underground parking. Most of the neighbors are nice as well.
