Rahim Yar Khan’s property market has grown steadily over the past few years, and Etihad Garden has positioned itself as one of the more visible housing developments in the area, particularly for buyers near Airport Road. Phase 1 is the founding phase of the project and forms the base on which the developer’s later expansion, Phase 2, was built. This article walks through the location, layout, and key features of Etihad Garden Phase 1 based on its official master plan.
Location
Etihad Garden Phase 1 is located along Airport Road, Rahim Yar Khan, close to the Airport Gate and directly opposite AIO University. The booking office itself is situated at this location, making it a convenient reference point for site visits.
Based on the location map included with the master plan, the surrounding landmarks include:
- Shaikh Zayed International Airport, RYK
- Taj Mahal Marquee
- Gulberg Town
- Airport Road and Canal Road
- Latifabad and Mansoorabad
- McDonald’s and a Beaconhouse School System campus nearby
The scheme is also bordered along its southern edge by the Sadiq Canal, which runs parallel to the site and is a fixed geographic reference for anyone trying to locate the phase on ground.
Master Plan Layout
Etihad Garden Phase 1 is divided into five main blocks — Block A, Block B, Block C, Block D, and Block E — connected by Patan Minara Road and Airport Road, with internal streets branching off into individual sub-sectors.
Block A is the largest and most developed portion of the phase, further divided into Sector 1 and Sector 2, and it houses the bulk of the commercial activity within the scheme. This block sits closest to the airport road frontage and includes:
- Two designated commercial activity zones (plot sizes of 39’x30′ and 38’x60′)
- A dedicated commercial building
- Entrance Gate No. 1 and Entrance Gate No. 2
- A additional/secondary entrance built specifically for Block A’s commercial section
- Parking areas mapped along the main road frontage
- A small block near Gate No. 1 already occupied by a Domino’s Pizza outlet (31′-1″ x 72′), indicating some commercial activity is already operational on ground
Block B sits just north of Block A, with its own gate structure (marked as both a “new gate” and an “existing gate” on the plan), suggesting this block’s access points were revised at some stage of development.
Block C and Block D are positioned further northwest, laid out with multiple internal sectors and streets. Block D borders a large open plot marked as a graveyard (measuring roughly 4.31 kanal), which buyers in that area should be aware of when evaluating specific plot locations.
Block E sits between Blocks B/C and the commercial corridor, with residential and commercial plots mixed along its street layout, and has its own dedicated entrance gate off Airport Road.
Plot Categories (Per the Map Legend)
The master plan uses a color-coded legend to distinguish plot status across the scheme:
- Sold Out Plots — plots no longer available for booking
- Residential Available Plots — open residential inventory
- Commercial Available Plots — open commercial inventory
- Mortgage Plots — plots currently held under mortgage/lien
- Existing/Public Buildings — structures already built or reserved for public use
- Parking — designated parking zones within the scheme
A section along the southern edge of Block A, near the canal, is separately marked as “Hold by Developers,” indicating this land is retained by the developer rather than released for sale.
Why Consider Etihad Garden Phase 1
- Airport Road frontage — direct access from a major arterial road in Rahim Yar Khan, useful for both residential convenience and commercial visibility
- Established commercial activity — with a functioning outlet like Domino’s already on site, the commercial zones aren’t purely speculative
- Diaspora-friendly booking — international offices in Dubai, Saudi Arabia, and the UK make the process more accessible for overseas Pakistani investors
- Multiple access points — separate entrance gates for residential and commercial zones help distribute traffic rather than funneling everything through one gate
- Phase 1 maturity — as the original phase, much of Etihad Garden Phase 1 already shows built infrastructure and sold-out sections, which typically means fewer development-stage uncertainties compared to a newly launched phase
