Rawalpindi / Islamabad, Near New Islamabad Airport

Capital Smart City

Welcome to Capital Smart City (CSC) — Pakistan's first true smart city and the fourth of its kind in Asia, following the successful smart-city models of New York, Amsterdam, Singapore, Dubai, Hong Kong, Barcelona, and London. Launched on 6th October 2019, CSC is a self-sustaining, technology-driven community that has become one of Pakistan's most in-demand housing societies, and in 2026 it took a major leap forward by becoming home to the country's largest AI data centre.

Capital Smart City sits in the Rawalpindi region, just 5 minutes from the New Islamabad International Airport, between the M-2 Motorway and Chakri Road — on the eastern route of CPEC. The society has grown from an initial 55,000 Kanal to roughly 1 Lakh Kanal, making it ten times larger than the neighboring housing societies, with its master plan approved by the RDA.

Latest Update — 2026

Pakistan's Largest AI Data Centre Inaugurated at Capital Smart City

In July 2026, Capital Smart City stepped beyond real estate into the digital future with the inauguration of Sky47 Karakoram-01 — Pakistan's largest AI-ready data centre and cloud infrastructure facility, built by Habib Rafiq Limited. The ceremony was attended by Prime Minister Muhammad Shehbaz Sharif and Chief of Army Staff Field Marshal Syed Asim Munir, along with federal ministers and senior technology leaders. The Prime Minister called it a major step toward a modern, technology-enabled Pakistan, while the Army Chief's presence underlined the project's strategic and economic significance. The facility supports AI applications, high-performance computing, cloud services, and secure local data hosting — placing Capital Smart City firmly on the map as Pakistan's emerging technology hub, not just a housing society.
