Citadel 7: Leading the Eco-Friendly Revolution

Citadel 7 by Chakor Ventures is amongst Pakistan’s top-notch commercial projects, situated in the heart of Islamabad’s heavenly capital. The project is more than a simple development; it is a world-class corporate sophistication.

Citadel 7 actively commits to a brighter future, earning recognition as the Eco-Friendly Revolutionary Project.

It has the greenest, eco-friendly commercial real estate with seamlessly integrated design and construction, promising a more sustainable tomorrow.

The corporate tower is the pinnacle of sophistication – situated at the heart of Blue Area Islamabad.

As Pakistan’s population continues to grow, so do the economic uncertainties. Blue Area Islamabad, the urban hub, has a growth rate of 3%, the fastest growth rate in South Asia. Citadel 7 has taken the initiative to cater to the tremendous demand in the real estate industry. They have designed quality office spaces in Islamabad. This decision is the stepping stone to encouraging building quality corporate towers within Islamabad to meet the growing demand.

We, as citizens, have to take positive initiatives to address this drastic overpopulation.

We should devise solutions that address this prevailing issue without negatively impacting Pakistan’s infrastructure, while also protecting the country’s vulnerable environment.

Citadel 7's Eco-Friendly Revolution

Citadel 7 has developed the project to be the finest by being the eco-friendliest. It is paving the way for a more resilient future for Islamabad, Pakistan’s commercial real estate industry. Commercial real estate developers follow standard protocols while maintaining construction, as they need to grapple with the challenges encountered in relation to the environment.

Furthermore, the initial issue is acceleration in the urbanization, and uncertain global warming that has risked tomorrow’s cities.

Citadel 7’s location is prime as it is accessible to locals and international companies. The solution to the current rapid urbanization is to increase vertical construction, as these vertical structures for commercial and residential real estate can easily accommodate the rapidly growing population.

Hence, Citadel 7, the vertical corporate tower, is the standard solution that meets the needs of the demanding population. This commercial real estate covers more space per square meter of the ground floor than single-story structures/buildings.

Moreover, Citadel 7’s presence in the thriving heavenly urban hub is the best economical choice for investors. The project’s structure meets the acceptable parameters within and outside the location.

Real Estate

We are mostly unaware of the different types of real estate properties. The exact definition of real estate refers to land on the earth’s surface. This land, fitting the definition of real estate, has characteristics such as indestructibility, uniqueness, and immobility.

Also, each part differs geographically. Another feature that could be added is the man-made additions. These additional changes by the man add value to the property’s face value.

Even after demolishing the real estate, some internal basic facilities remain the same, including drainage, electricity, water, and sewer systems. These seem to be permanent in spite of making necessary changes.

Different types are as follows.

Residential Real Estate
Commercial Real Estate
Industrial Real Estate
Special Purpose property
Undeveloped Property

In Blue Area Islamabad is located Citadel 7 – today’s exclusive project that is promising investment that will bring in ROI for the potential investors.

Commercial Real Estate

Blue Area Islamabad Commercial real estate Citadel 7 has cutting-edge facilities that make it an outstanding project. As per our inception, the corporate tower is a symbol of sophistication, comprising smart, safe, and committed sustainability.

The project includes several eco-friendly facilities, as listed below.

Sustainable Features

The Citadel 7′s structure includes the Low-E glasses installed, which assure a 22% cooling load and a 13% heating load decrease.

This advanced development, unlike conventional glass, will regulate the temperatures within the corporate tower.

The construction phase will include dual-flush toilets, water-conserving faucets, and solar panels.

The project will use roof water for harvesting and horticulture and appropriately drain any excess rainwater.

Citadel 7 has an in-built central atrium, which increases ventilation and access to sunlight and provides a soothing natural environment.

Electrical Systems

The corporate tower will feature an electric system capable of handling proper load and supply maintenance according to IESCO (Islamabad Electric Supply Corporation) standards. We will install LED lights in the lobbies, corridors, and entrances.

Additionally, we plan to provide a standby power supply to manage unexpected power shutdowns, ensuring continuous operation even during major citywide breakdowns.

Citadel 7 has aimed to focus on the provision of energy-efficient or eco-friendly lighting solutions and user convenience.

Fire Suppression System

The project’s design includes the best fire suppression systems within the tower. The main components include a fire Hose Cabinet Pipe, Fire sprinklers, and a Fire Hose Cabinet 5kg DCP.

The unique specifications defining the system are 40 indoor pipes and an electric power supply for firefighting pumps, which comply with the latest engineering codes and standards.

To accommodate unforeseen situations, the basement will have 33,000 gallons of water reserved, and the rooftop will have 5000 gallons reserved. The fire suppression systems will also have efficient air release valves to accommodate any emergency or uncertainty.

Solid Waste Management

Citadel 7 has included prime sustainable structures with systematic solid waste management. It includes daily solid waste generation, handling, and maintenance. It will dispose of 70kg/Day of waste to recycle and inert waste to scrap dealers.

Project’s design management will install three bins in each office space to systematically sort waste materials such as paper, cardboard, and metals. Corporate offices typically generate significant daily waste that can be conveniently recycled and sold to vendors.

The project has a well-maintained daily waste collection procedure for each office room.

Sewerage System

We estimate the project’s water demand at 45,000 gallons per day, while the building’s sewerage output is approximately 36,000 gallons per day. We will properly drain this wastewater into the CDA’s sewerage line to ensure systematic and timely discharge.

Water Storage and Supply

The project has the best-designed water supply that efficiently works within the prescribed limits. CDA is responsible for monitoring the water supply usage and minimum requirements. It has a fire reserve tank, an underground water tank, extra water storage on the 5th floor, and an overhead water tank. The water supply is within monitored parameters, reducing wastage.

Real estate in Islamabad is flourishing to the next level by bringing in investors with friendly, eco-friendly, and economic booster projects.

These projects feature top-notch infrastructure that can have a significant impact on the environment.

Citadel 7 has revolutionized real estate Islamabad. The project’s strategic design is not only eco-friendly for a better environment but has also proposed mitigation measures to handle any uncertainty.

Let’s take a closer look at some of the mitigation measures to understand how the project is eco-friendly and employs the most effective methods and policies to make it an ideal commercial real estate venture.

First, we will assess the impact of the pre-construction phase and the mitigation strategies implemented for the project.

Design and Location of Building	According to the Master Plan of Blue Area, Islamabad is reserved for the construction of a high-rise commercial area. Therefore, the project site is located in the designated commercial area of Islamabad. The land use of the Citadel 7 Building Project will be by the CDA Building by-laws and will be approved by CDA. The project area also houses various residential apartment schemes and has mixed residential and commercial land use.
Movement of Construction Material, Machinery & Vehicles at Site	Vehicular traffic on unpaved tracks will be avoided as far as possible, and the track will be sprinkled with water to control dust. Construction machinery and generators will be tuned appropriately, and maintenance will occur periodically. Electrically operated construction reduces air emissions, and construction material handling machinery (such as cranes) will be procured. Fugitive dust emissions will be minimized by spraying water on the soil, where required and appropriate.
Land Clearing, Levelling, Grading, Excavation & Filling	Vehicular traffic on unpaved tracks will be avoided as far as possible, and the track will be sprinkled with water to control dust. Construction machinery and generators will be tuned appropriately, and maintenance will occur periodically. Construction material handling machinery (such as cranes) will be procured, which are electrically operated to reduce air emissions. Fugitive dust emissions will be minimized by spraying water on the soil, where required and appropriate.
Construction Activity & Usage of Generator	Construction equipment and vehicles will have exhaust mufflers (silencers) to minimize noise generation. Appropriate machinery and workforce will be used to optimize construction that reduces noise and vibration. All construction machinery and vehicles will undergo periodic maintenance to ensure smooth running.
High-Rise Construction Activities	Risk Assessment and Hazard Identification. The generator will be protected; fire extinguishers will be provided. Diesel storage activity will never be allowed near generators, and the proponent will provide concrete blocks as drip trays for the generators. Workers will be provided with proper and appropriate PPEs. A dedicated HSE Officer will give toolbox talks at the start of any new construction activity. Harnesses will be available for the workers working at heights. A temporary wall will surround the project site from all other sites, and signboards will inform the community about the construction. The proponent at the site office will maintain and regularly inspect the complaint register. There will be a dedicated arrangement for sanitation (proper washrooms). Prefabricated toilets along with a septic tank for the usage of workers.
Land Clearing, Land Levelling	The project site does not have any trees and has minimal growth of some shrubs. A plantation plan for the CITADEL 7 building Project has been prepared. The plan has a mix of appropriate trees/bushes that will be raised within and outside the project site.

Real Estate Developers

Real estate developers worldwide often consider the soundest investments. Investments that follow a futuristic approach increase the probability of profits.

Why invest in real estate?

The answer is clear: Real estate is a risk-avoider and has the most competitive risk adjustment. Real estate investments mitigate risks more than any other form of investment.

Let’s determine the factors that make real estate investment a treasurable investment for future generations. Some of the points are mentioned below.

Protection and Diversification

The greatest beneficial aspect of real estate investment is its diversified and protective potential. Compared to many other forms of investment, real estate has a low or negative impact on other major asset classes. For instance, if stocks are low, real estate won’t have any such negative impact.

Real estate lowers the volatility and provides the highest return per unit. Also, the direct real estate investment gauges the better hedge. The real estate investment does not carry principal-agent conflict.

Inflation-Hedger

Real estate is the best hedger for hitting or eradicating the drastic inflation prevailing in the economies. Once the economies expand, the demand for real estate goes high, translating into real estate’s capital values. Real estate redirects the development of inflationary pressures as the inflationary pressure backs up capital appreciation.

Power of Leverage

Compared to the stock market the, real estate investment leverages the investors with the tool. Leverage is mainly the means to use debt to finance any extensive purchase rather than the available cash.

Also, buying stock requires full payment until you are buying with some margin. Yet, the percentage bought is less compared to real estate.
