Two plots, same block, same size, different prices. The difference is category — the position premium societies charge for corner, main-road, boulevard-facing and park-facing plots. Whether that premium is money well spent depends entirely on what you intend to do with the plot.
What the categories mean
- Corner — sits at the junction of two streets. Two open sides, more light and air, more frontage.
- Main road / boulevard facing — fronts a wide road. Maximum visibility and access; in commercial terms, maximum exposure.
- Park facing / green belt — looks onto open green space, so the view and air are protected from future construction.
In Faisal Town Phase 2, as in most twin-cities societies, corner and main-road plots carry additional charges over the standard rate-sheet price for the same size. Confirm the exact category charge for a specific plot with the society office before you commit — these are plot-level, not published as one blanket figure.
When the premium is worth paying
For commercial, almost always. Frontage is the product. A shop or office on a boulevard sees traffic that an interior unit never will, and the rent or resale reflects it permanently. This is why commercial plots facing FT2's 350-ft boulevard are priced where they are.
For a family home, often yes on corner and park-facing. A corner gives you design freedom — two street elevations, better ventilation, frequently a more practical layout. Park-facing gives you a view nobody can build out. Both are things you enjoy every day for decades, and both hold their premium at resale because the next buyer values them too.
For pure investment, it depends on the spread. A modest premium on a corner usually recovers at resale. A steep one may not, because your eventual buyer pool is narrower — some buyers specifically avoid corners for privacy and security reasons.
When to skip it
Main-road residential is the classic case of a premium that does not suit everyone. You pay more for a plot with more traffic noise, dust and passing footfall outside your bedroom window. Families frequently prefer a quiet interior street — and pay less for the privilege. Unless you intend to convert to commercial later (which depends entirely on the society's by-laws and zoning, so verify before assuming), think carefully.
When it stretches your budget. A category premium that pushes your installment beyond comfortable is a bad trade. Size and block matter more than position: a standard 10 Marla in a good block beats a corner 8 Marla you struggle to pay for. Our 5 vs 10 Marla guide covers that sizing decision.
How to judge a specific plot
1. Stand on it, or at least locate it precisely on the master plan. "Corner" on paper can mean a junction of two minor lanes — which is worth far less than a true main-road corner.
2. Ask what the premium is in rupees, not in percent, and compare it against the total.
3. Check what is planned opposite. A park-facing premium assumes the green belt stays a green belt; confirm it is designated open space in the approved layout rather than an undeveloped plot.
4. Ask what comparable category plots have transferred at, not just what they are listed at.
The usual caveats apply to every plot regardless of category: prices are the developer's published April 2026 rates and revisable, and the society's NOC is under process, not approved.
