Luxury Apartments in Rawalpindi and Islamabad: What Luxury Should Actually Include

What makes an apartment genuinely luxury?

“Luxury” is the most overused word in Pakistani property advertising, and most of what it describes – finishes, fittings, lighting in a render – can be changed later. The things that cannot be changed after you move in are what you should pay a premium for.

That means judging a luxury flat on its bones: how big the rooms really are, how high the main space is, whether you have outdoor space nobody else uses, how many homes share your floor and lifts, and what the building offers beyond your front door.

• Room sizes you can measure on a dimensioned plan, not just a total area.
• Height – a double-height living room changes how a home feels.
• Private outdoor space: a terrace or balcony that is yours alone.
• Few neighbours per floor and a calm arrival through a proper lobby.
• Shared facilities that residents will actually use.

Where are Skyra Tower’s luxury homes?

Skyra Tower stands on Plot 656 in the Business District (Central Business District-South) of Bahria Town Phase 8, Rawalpindi – not Islamabad, though Bahria Town Phase 8 is part of the twin-city area and many buyers searching for luxury apartments in Islamabad consider it. The developer is Creation Developers (Pvt) Ltd.

The building is ground plus nine floors. The luxury homes are at the top: three duplex penthouses spanning the 8th and 9th floors, with just three homes sharing the two uppermost levels. The larger two-bedroom apartments on the 3rd to 7th floors are the other option for buyers who want space without a penthouse budget.

What do the Skyra Tower penthouses include?

All three are 4-bedroom, 4-bathroom duplexes with double-height living rooms, a dining room, a large kitchen, a powder room, dressing areas, a private terrace and an infinity pool measuring 17′-0″ × 8′-0″. Areas below are as priced on the payment plan.

• Penthouse 01 – 5,300 sq ft: the largest home in Skyra, with three master suites upstairs, a living room of 17′-3″ × 22′-10½″, a 16′-6″ × 13′-9″ kitchen and a garden terrace with its own pool.
• Penthouse 02 – 5,090 sq ft: a corner duplex with the largest terrace in the tower, wrapping the living room and pool.
• Penthouse 03 – 4,290 sq ft: a twenty-six-foot living room (15′-9″ × 26′-9″), a 14′-4½″ × 16′-3″ dining room and a terrace with an infinity pool.

How much is a luxury penthouse, and how is it paid?

Penthouses are priced at PKR 17,000 per sq ft on the developer’s current schedule, confirmed at booking: Penthouse 03 is PKR 72,930,000, Penthouse 02 PKR 86,530,000 and Penthouse 01 PKR 90,100,000. All three are on the current availability list.

They follow the same plan as every unit in Skyra Tower. Penthouse 03 is PKR 21,879,000 down, PKR 1,316,792 a month for 36 months and PKR 3,646,500 on possession. The sales desk currently offers 15% off for payment in full – PKR 61,990,500 for Penthouse 03, PKR 76,585,000 for Penthouse 01 – with no published end date, so confirm it in writing at booking.

Is a large two-bedroom a more practical kind of luxury?

For many couples and small families, the answer is yes. The Type D at 1,225 sq ft (PKR 18,375,000) is the largest apartment in Skyra Tower: a 24′-1½″ × 10′-6″ lounge and dining room, a 15′-0″ × 11′-0″ main bedroom, two full bathrooms and a dressing area. The Type G at 1,150 sq ft (PKR 17,250,000) trades the dressing area for a 20′-1½″ × 12′-10½″ lounge and a long balcony across both bedrooms.

On the plan, a Type D is PKR 5,512,500 down and PKR 331,771 a month – roughly a quarter of the Penthouse 03 instalment. Both types are available on the 5th and 6th floors (units 510, 610, 514 and 614), confirmed at booking.

What shared amenities come with the building?

Residents arrive through a double-height grand reception lobby, and three residential lifts serve the homes, with a separate cargo lift to the rooftop. On the apartment floors, corridors are 6 feet wide.

The lower-ground Club Floor, with its own side entrance, holds the residents’ clubhouse – an open lounge and private pods – a gym, a snooker room with several tables and a sitting area, and a day care centre. The infinity pools and terraces belong to the penthouse owners alone.

How should you inspect a luxury apartment before paying?

The images on this site are artist’s impressions, not photographs, so test a luxury purchase on documents: the dimensioned plan for your exact unit, the area you are charged for, the specification of finishes in writing, and the payment schedule with every date listed. For a penthouse, ask specifically how the terrace and pool are handed over and maintained.
