RDA to construct Multi Story Car Parks and Tower in Pindi

The Rawalpindi Development Authority (RDA) plans to construct 10 parking plazas and a 25-storey tower in the city on a private-public partnership basis. The plazas aim to solve the parking issue of the city for the next 20 years.

A senior official of RDA informed that selected areas of Raja Bazaar, Liaquat Road and Rehmanabad are chosen for constructing the plazas while the rest would be finalised selected in a week or two.

RDA also planned to construct a 25-storey Tower on Murree Road adjacent to Rawalpindi Municipal Library and Historical Liaquat Bagh. The total area of the proposed tower is 13 kanal. First two floors will have offices of RDA and Water and Sanitation Agency (Wasa). The rest of the floors will be rented out to multinational companies, which would generate handsome revenue for the RDA.

RDA Chairman Arif Abbassi formed a five-member committee for this project. This committee comprises RDA directors engineering, architecture, finance, state land, and metropolitan and traffic engineering. This committee has been tasked with identifying locations for the other seven parking plazas.
