|
Faisal Hills leads on the things that protect your money: approval, possession and a living community. Faisal Town Phase 2 leads on price.

This is the most important point in the whole comparison!
An NOC (No Objection Certificate) from RDA confirms a society is legally approved to sell plots. Without it, buyers carry legal risk.
Faisal Hills: Final NOC

- New projects inside the society keep getting approved. Hill Walk Downtown and Masjid Fatima Tuz Zahra got their own NOCs in February 2026.
Faisal Town Phase 2: NOC still pending
- The NOC application is with RDA, but it has not been approved as of 2026.
- In October 2023, RDA issued a show-cause notice to Faisal Town Phase-II for launching before approval, and in 2024 it filed an FIR over the scheme’s marketing.
