Islamabad is about to see some exciting changes. The Capital Development Authority (CDA) has approved three major entertainment projects in Islamabad that could transform the city’s recreational landscape: a theme park, a Ferris wheel, and a cable car ride.
These are part of a larger vision to make Islamabad a more vibrant, engaging, and people friendly city.
What’s Been Approved Regarding Entertainment Projects in Islamabad?
During the 75th meeting of the Development Working Party (DWP), the CDA gave the green light to begin the planning phase for three major projects:
- Theme Park – Budget of Rs. 206 million
- Ferris Wheel – Budget of Rs. 61.8 million
- Cable Car System – Budget of Rs. 197.76 million
The first step involves hiring expert consultants who will conduct feasibility studies and create detailed designs. This planning stage is expected to be completed in about six months.
This means by the end of the year, we will likely have full plans in hand, ready to move toward construction and development.

Why Entertainment Projects in Islamabad Matters
Islamabad is already one of the most peaceful and beautiful cities in the country. It’s home to over two million people, and it continues to attract more tourists, residents, and investors every year.
With these new projects:
- Families will have more places to relax and enjoy quality time
- Tourists will find more reasons to visit and stay longer
- New jobs and economic activity will be generated
- The local culture of leisure and community gathering will be strengthened
For residents, this means a better lifestyle. For businesses, it means more foot traffic, more engagement, and more opportunity.
Here’s how this connects to our areas of focus:
1. Real Estate & Urban Development
Entertainment hubs have always increased the demand for nearby housing, retail, and commercial spaces. Taz Group is already exploring opportunities in areas that could benefit from increased activity. For us, it’s about building better environments for living and working.
2. Hospitality & Experience
With more people coming to the city, there will be a growing need for hotels, cafes, family friendly spaces, and service based businesses. Taz Group is planning projects that offer comfort, style, and warmth, creating experiences that make people feel welcome.
3. Local Business & Community Growth
As Islamabad grows, so do its people. New recreational projects mean more vendors, more small businesses, and more partnerships. We aim to support and collaborate with local entrepreneurs to ensure everyone benefits from these changes.
The consultancy phase will take six months. After that, we can expect to see construction timelines, site announcements, and perhaps the start of work by early next year.
This is the start of a transformation not just for fun, but for how people live and move in Islamabad. From families taking their kids on a weekend outing, to tourists exploring the city from above in a cable car, the city is moving toward a more connected, joyful experience.
We’re committed to being part of this new wave of progress. We’re preparing for the changes ahead, strategically, thoughtfully, and with the same purpose we’ve always had: to build better lives through smarter development.
We believe in people first cities, and this is one step closer to that vision.
If you’re looking to be part of Islamabad’s next chapter; as a resident, investor, or business partner; we’re here to help you grow with it.
