5 Marla or 10 Marla in Faisal Town Phase 2? How to Choose

The 5 Marla and the 10 Marla are the two best-selling sizes in Faisal Town Phase 2, and buyers with a budget that could stretch to the bigger plot agonise over this choice more than any other. The right answer depends on whether you are an investor or a builder — because the two sizes are genuinely different assets.

The numbers first

From the developer's April 2026 rate sheet (revisable; development charges included):

• 5.56 Marla (25×50 ft): PKR 3,495,000 on installments — PKR 1,335,000 down, PKR 60,000/month — or PKR 2,790,000 cash. Full 5 Marla guide.
• 10.89 Marla (35×70 ft): PKR 6,065,000 on installments — PKR 2,285,000 down, PKR 105,000/month — or PKR 4,850,000 cash. Full 10 Marla guide.

Note the per-Marla math: the 10 Marla costs about 74% more in total for roughly double the land. Bigger plots are cheaper land per Marla — that is true in almost every society, and it is the investor's argument for going bigger.

The investor's answer: usually the 5 Marla

Resale liquidity decides investment outcomes more than appreciation percentages do. The 5 Marla has the deepest buyer pool in the twin cities — more people can afford it, more dealers move it, and in a soft market it sells weeks or months faster than larger cuts. Two 5 Marla plots (if your budget allows) beat one 10 Marla for an investor: you can exit half your position without exiting all of it.

The counterargument — cheaper per-Marla land in the 10 — only pays if you hold long enough for the market to reprice it, and if you can wait out the thinner resale demand when you sell.

The builder's answer: usually the 10 Marla

If the plan is a family home, the calculus flips. A 35×70 footprint takes a comfortable 5-bedroom double-storey with a lawn; the 25×50 requires tighter design choices. And construction economics favour building once, properly: the fixed costs of a build (boundary wall, foundations mobilisation, utility connections) weigh less per square foot on the larger plot.

One honest warning for builders: do not buy the bigger plot if it forces the maximum installment. A PKR 105,000 monthly commitment that leaves nothing for the eventual construction fund just delays your house by years. The 8 Marla exists precisely for this middle case.

Block matters as much as size

A 5 Marla in the semi-developed Sector O Model Block and a 10 Marla in a newly launched sector are different propositions again — earlier possession versus more land later. Match the block's stage to your timeline using our best-block guide before fixing the size.

The decision in one pass

• Pure investment, may exit within 2–3 years → 5 Marla (or two of them).
• Family home on a defined budget → 10 Marla if the installment fits under a third of income; otherwise 8 Marla.
• Long-hold land banking → the bigger cut, bought on the cash discount if possible — see installments vs full payment.
• Undecided → the 5 Marla keeps the most options open. You can always trade up; trading down costs a transfer cycle.

As always: the NOC is under process, not approved, prices are the developer's published rates and revisable, and either size should be bought with money you can leave parked. Want live availability for both sizes by block? Ask the team.
