Which NOC-approved societies in Islamabad can buyers verify through Capital Development Authority records in 2026? The answer requires more than checking whether a housing project is commonly called “CDA approved.” CDA records list Layout Plan approval and NOC status separately, and those statuses can also change.
This guide focuses specifically on Islamabad housing schemes whose current CDA records show an issued or approved NOC. Multi Gardens B-17 and Tele Gardens F-17 come first, followed by other verified options including Gulberg Residencia, Gulberg Greens, Park View City, Naval Anchorage, OPF Housing Scheme, Supreme Court Employees Housing Scheme, Senate Avenue and Khayaban-e-Kashmir Phase I.
If you want to know more about NOC, read our detailed guide on What is NOC, which explains the meaning and role of a No Objection Certificate.
1. Multi Gardens B-17
Multi Gardens B-17, developed by the Multi Professionals Cooperative Housing Society (MPCHS), is one of the first projects to check when comparing housing societies with NOC in Islamabad.
CDA currently lists Multi Gardens Phase I in Zone 2 with an approved Layout Plan and an NOC issued on 30 January 2008. The current CDA record covers an area of 4,815.75 kanals.
Multi Gardens Phase I is listed in CDA records with its Layout Plan approved and an NOC issued. However, buyers should still verify the latest CDA record for the specific block, plot, and phase before making any payment, because approval details should always be checked against the exact property being considered.
Multi Gardens Phase II also appears separately in CDA records with its Layout Plan approved and NOC issued. This distinction is important because approval for one phase should not automatically be applied to another phase, extension, or area unless it is clearly covered in the relevant CDA record.
2. Tele Gardens F-17
Tele Gardens Housing Scheme is located in Sector F-17 and is another MPCHS project. The scheme is located in Islamabad’s Zone 2, along the Fateh Jang Road side.
CDA’s record shows that Tele Gardens F-17 has an approved Layout Plan and an NOC issued on 30 January 2008, covering an area of 1,757.65 kanal. Tele Gardens F-17 still appears in CDA’s records with its NOC status marked as “Issued.”
3. Gulberg Residencia
Gulberg Residencia, officially recorded by CDA as IBECHS Phase III Housing Scheme, is another project on the current approved list.
CDA places Gulberg Residencia in Zone 5 and records its Layout Plan as approved and its NOC as issued on 1 June 2020. The scheme covers a large approved area according to the authority’s current record.
Gulberg Residencia should also be distinguished from Gulberg Greens. Although both are associated with IBECHS and the wider Gulberg Islamabad development, CDA maintains separate scheme records for them.
4. Gulberg Greens Farm Housing Scheme
Gulberg Greens Farm Housing Scheme appears separately in CDA’s Zone 4 records. Its current status shows both an approved Layout Plan and an issued NOC.
That distinction matters for buyers comparing NOC approved housing schemes Islamabad. A familiar project brand may contain more than one separately recorded scheme, so the exact property should be matched with the correct CDA entry.
5. Park View City Housing Scheme
Park View City is recorded by CDA as a Zone 4 housing scheme. The authority currently shows its Layout Plan as approved and its NOC status as approved.
CDA’s individual project record identifies an approved area of 1,067.90 kanal and records the NOC approval date as 2 May 2014.
Buyers considering property beyond the area reflected in the authority record should verify that the specific block or land falls within the approved scheme rather than treating the project name itself as proof.
6. Naval Anchorage
Naval Anchorage is another established name among the approved housing societies in Islamabad. CDA places it in Zone 5 and records an approved Layout Plan along with an issued NOC.
The current CDA page lists an area of 3,702.70 kanal and records the NOC as issued on 28 May 2020.
As with every project in this guide, the authority record should be matched with the individual property documents before a transaction.
7. OPF Housing Scheme
The OPF Housing Scheme is owned by the Overseas Pakistanis Foundation and appears in CDA’s Zone 5 housing-scheme records.
CDA currently shows its Layout Plan as approved and its NOC as issued. The authority records the NOC date as 8 October 2011 and also lists a revised Layout Plan from 2023.
A more recent show-cause notice from December 2025 also appears on the scheme’s CDA page. Buyers should therefore read the current project record as a whole rather than looking only at the NOC field.
8. Supreme Court Employees Housing Scheme
Supreme Court Employees Housing Scheme is located in Zone 2 and is recorded by CDA along the Service Road, Srinagar Highway.
Its current authority record shows an approved Layout Plan and an NOC issued on 25 March 2022. This makes it another project that fits the legal-status criteria used for this 2026 list.
9. Senate Avenue
Senate Avenue is a Zone 5 project of the Senate Secretariat Employees Cooperative Housing Society. CDA currently records its Layout Plan as approved and its NOC as issued on 12 November 2021.
10. Khayaban-e-Kashmir Phase I
Khayaban-e-Kashmir Phase I is another Zone 2 project with an approved Layout Plan and an issued NOC on CDA’s current housing-schemes portal. The NOC was issued on 13 May 2004. CDA also lists an amended Layout Plan from June 2026, together with recent notices.
Why LOP Approved Does Not Always Mean NOC Approved
This is one of the most important distinctions in a list of legal housing societies in Islamabad. CDA explains that approval of a private housing scheme follows separate stages.
First, the Layout Plan is approved. After the sponsor completes the subsequent formalities, CDA can issue the NOC for development. A project with “LOP Approved” and “NOC Not Issued” therefore does not have the same status as a project whose current record shows both stages completed.

Final Thoughts
Finding NOC approved societies in Islamabad should begin with the current CDA record, not an old property article or a developer advertisement. Multi Gardens B-17 and Tele Gardens F-17 currently display issued NOCs on CDA’s portal, while several other Islamabad schemes also meet the NOC-status criteria used in this guide.
A project can have an older NOC and still face a later cancellation. Check the exact scheme, phase, current NOC field, and newest CDA notices before making a property decision.
