Where Is D-12, Islamabad Located ?

D-12 sits at the base of the Margalla Hills in the northwestern part of Islamabad, roughly 15 kilometres from Zero Point, immediately north of E-11 and close to F-10 and F-11. Agha Shahi Avenue and Margalla Road provide direct access into the sector, with Margalla Avenue itself linking D-12 to the rest of Zone I’s northern belt.

Expressway. If you’re mapping out G-13 Islamabad’s location relative to the rest of the city, this highway access is the detail that matters most for daily commuting.

D-12 Islamabad's Development History:

CDA launched D-12 in 1994, and it’s since become one of the few fully developed sectors in the D-series — most of the D-sectors (D-11 through D-17) remain undeveloped, which makes D-12 something of an outlier and a big part of its appeal. The sector’s master plan balances residential, commercial, and recreational space while working around the natural slope of the foothill terrain.
