10th Avenue Islamabad
A City on the Move
Islamabad has always been celebrated for its planned infrastructure and organised layout — but every great city must evolve. If you have recently passed through the I-9 or I-10 corridor, you have already witnessed something remarkable taking shape. Road carpeting is underway, construction crews are working at full pace, and the vision is becoming a reality. The 10th Avenue project is entering its final phase, and its impact on the capital’s mobility landscape will be nothing short of transformational.
This is not merely a road expansion. It is a carefully engineered urban artery designed to solve one of Islamabad’s most persistent challenges — cross-city connectivity.
Understanding the Route: Where Does 10th Avenue Begin and End?
To truly appreciate what this project means for residents, commuters, and investors, it helps to understand its geographic scope.
The avenue originates at IJP Road, serving as a vital junction between the industrial sectors of I-9 and I-10. From there, it carves a strategic path through H-9 and H-10, before crossing the Srinagar (Kashmir) Highway — positioned between the G-10 and G-11 sectors. The corridor then extends further north, ultimately connecting to E-11, D-12, and merging seamlessly with the Margalla Avenue.
What this essentially creates is a direct, uninterrupted north-south corridor — one that ties together IJP Road, the Srinagar Highway, and Margalla Avenue while also feeding into the GT Road and M-1 Motorway network. In simple terms, it bridges the southern industrial belt of the city with its northern residential and commercial zones in a way that has never existed before.

Why This Project Changes Everything for Islamabad
⏱️ Nearly 80% Reduction in Commute Time
Perhaps the most significant benefit for daily commuters is the dramatic drop in travel time. Those travelling between I-9/I-10 and the G or F sector blocks, or pushing further toward Margalla Avenue, can expect commute durations to fall by close to 80 percent. What once took 40 to 50 minutes during peak hours could soon be accomplished in under ten.
🚗 Decongesting Islamabad’s Busiest Roads
The Srinagar Highway, 9th Avenue, and IJP Road are among the most traffic-saturated routes in the twin cities. By introducing an alternate high-capacity corridor, 10th Avenue will pull a significant volume of vehicles off these bottlenecked roads — resulting in smoother flows, reduced stress, and safer driving conditions across the board.
⛽ Real Savings for Real People
Traffic congestion carries a hidden cost — fuel. Every extra minute spent idling in traffic translates to money lost. With 10th Avenue reducing travel friction, both individual commuters and businesses operating fleets stand to make substantial savings on fuel expenditure, while also gaining back productive hours in the day.
The I-9 & I-10 IT Park: Pakistan’s Corporate Powerhouse
Parallel to the infrastructural development of 10th Avenue runs an equally exciting announcement — the Government of Pakistan has officially designated the I-9 and I-10 sectors as the National IT Park. This declaration cements what the corporate world already knew: this zone is the technology and business nucleus of the capital.
The area is already home to a powerful mix of enterprises, including:
• Multinational IT and Telecom Companies
• International Call Centers and BPO Firms
• High-Specification Corporate Headquarters
With 10th Avenue unlocking direct, fast access for employees commuting from the F and G sectors, as well as professionals travelling in from Rawalpindi, the IT Park’s workforce accessibility reaches an entirely new level. Traffic bottlenecks that once discouraged businesses from settling here will effectively become a thing of the past.
An Investor’s Dream: ROI Numbers That Speak for Themselves
For those with a sharp eye on returns, the I-9 and I-10 IT Park is currently generating some of the most compelling investment numbers anywhere in Pakistan.
While the standard commercial property in Islamabad typically yields a monthly rental return of around 0.4% to 0.5%, offices within this IT Park ecosystem are delivering extraordinary returns of 2% to 4% per month. That is a figure that significantly outperforms most other asset classes in the country.
Driving this demand is the explosive growth of Pakistan’s technology sector. Companies are actively scouting for large-format, modern office spaces in this precise location — and supply is struggling to keep pace. For investors who act now, before 10th Avenue fully opens and property values adjust accordingly, the window for maximum return is wide open.
