Block A is the primary and most developed block within Etihad Garden Phase 1, Rahim Yar Khan. Positioned along Airport Road with direct frontage onto the main scheme entrance, it functions as both the residential core and the commercial hub of Phase 1.
Location Within the Scheme
Block A sits at the southern end of the master plan, bordered by the Sadiq Canal along its southern edge and connected to Patan Minara Road and Airport Road on its western and eastern sides. It is the first block reached from the main Airport Road entrances, making it the most accessible section of the entire phase.
Sector Layout
Block A is divided into two sectors:
- Sector 1 — positioned toward the eastern/commercial side of the block, closer to Airport Road and the commercial building
- Sector 2 — positioned toward the interior and southern portion of the block, extending down toward the canal-side boundary and the area marked “Hold by Developers”
Both sectors are laid out with a grid of internal streets, with plot sizes and street widths marked directly on the ground layout (e.g., streets identified at 40 ft and 60 ft widths in the plan).
Commercial Zone
Block A carries the bulk of Etihad Garden Phase 1’s commercial activity, including:
- Two designated commercial activity plots — one sized 39′ x 30′ and another 38′ x 60′
- A dedicated commercial building
- An operational Domino’s Pizza outlet (31′-1″ x 72′) near Entrance Gate No. 1, confirming live commercial footfall in the block
- An additional entrance gate built specifically to serve the commercial section, separate from the main residential gates
Access Points
Block A has more entry/exit infrastructure than any other block in the phase:
- Entrance Gate No. 1 — main gate, near the Domino’s Pizza commercial plot
- Entrance Gate No. 2 — second main access point along Airport Road
- Additional Entrance for Block A Commercial — a separate gate serving the commercial zone specifically
This multi-gate setup helps separate commercial traffic from residential traffic, which is a practical advantage for residents living deeper inside Sector 2.
Plot Status
Per the master plan legend, Block A shows a mix of:
- Sold-out plots (a significant portion, concentrated closer to the commercial frontage and main streets)
- Residential available plots (scattered through both sectors)
- Commercial available plots (mainly along the Airport Road-facing side)
- Mortgage plots (present in limited pockets)
- A parking zone mapped along the road frontage
- A canal-side strip marked “Hold by Developers,” which is not currently released for sale
Why Block A Stands Out
- First point of access — closest block to both main entrances, reducing internal drive time compared to Blocks B through E
- Established commercial presence — with a working outlet already trading, this isn’t a purely paper commercial zone
- Canal-adjacent sector — Sector 2’s proximity to the Sadiq Canal may appeal to buyers who prefer a quieter, less traffic-heavy residential pocket within the same block
- Higher sold-out ratio — generally a signal of stronger historical demand compared to blocks further from the main road
