Block B sits just north of Block A within Etihad Garden Phase 1, forming the transition zone between the developed commercial core of the scheme and the residential blocks further northwest (Blocks C, D, and E).
Location Within the Scheme
Block B is positioned along Patan Minara Road, directly adjoining Block A to its south and Block E to its north. It sits closer to the interior of the scheme compared to Block A, with less direct frontage on Airport Road itself, making it a primarily residential-feeling block relative to the commercial density of Block A.
Access Points
Block B’s gate layout is notable in that the master plan marks two separate gate references for the block:
- New Gate of Block B — a more recently added access point
- Existing Gate of Block A (marked at the shared boundary with Block A) — an older access point sitting near the Block A/Block B dividing line
This suggests the block’s access arrangement was revised or expanded at some stage after the original layout was finalized — worth noting for anyone comparing older marketing material against the current master plan.
Plot Layout
Block B is laid out with internal streets branching off Patan Minara Road, and per the legend on the master plan it includes a mix of:
- Residential available plots
- Sold-out plots
- A modest presence of commercial available plots along its street frontage, in contrast to Block A‘s dedicated commercial zone
Compared to Block A, Block B does not have designated large-format commercial activity plots (like the 39’x30′ or 38’x60′ zones in Block A) — its layout leans more residential in character.
Why Block B Stands Out
- Buffer position — sits between the high-traffic commercial frontage of Block A and the quieter residential blocks further in, offering a middle ground for buyers who want proximity to commercial areas without being directly on the main road
- Revised access — the addition of a “new gate” suggests the developer responded to demand or traffic patterns after the block was initially planned
- Patan Minara Road frontage — provides an alternate route in and out of the scheme besides the main Airport Road gates used by Block A
Quick FAQ
Is Block B closer to the commercial zone or the residential blocks?
It sits directly between them — adjoining Block A (commercial-heavy) to the south and Block E/C (residential) to the north.
Does Block B have its own dedicated commercial section like Block A?
No — the master plan does not show large designated commercial activity plots in Block B; its layout is predominantly residential.
How many gates serve Block B?
Two are marked on the plan: a “new gate” specific to Block B, and an “existing gate” at its boundary with Block A.
What road does Block B front?
Patan Minara Road, rather than the main Airport Road frontage used by Block A.
