Despite a substantial rise in construction costs, the development of high-rise commercial buildings in the federal capital continues unabated. The Capital Development Authority’s (CDA) design-vetting committee has recently granted approval to building plans for nine more towering structures strategically positioned in lucrative areas.
One of the standout projects among the approvals is a striking 26-storey hotel planned for Club Road. This development is anticipated to attract investments amounting to billions of rupees, drawing in various industries associated with the construction sector. The committee convened at the CDA headquarters, with key officials from the civic body’s planning wing in attendance.
