If it’s going to go through a university, at the very least they should be required to put up noise cancelling walls, like they do along highways and motorways around the world.

The Capital Development Authority’s (CDA) recent three-day auction of commercial properties, which started on Tuesday, was met with favorable results.

The sale of eight commercial plots generated a total of Rs. 22.11 billion, with a single plot covering 5,952 square yards in the Blue Area earning Rs. 8.54 billion..

The CDA’s auction committee, led by Member Estate Afnan Alam Khan, received the best bid of Rs. 1.435 million per unit of land area from Mari Petroleum for plot number 62 in the former Blue Area, for a total of Rs. 8.54 billion. However, it was just short of Rs. 8.79 billion, the biggest offer ever recorded for a single plot sale in August 2021.

Furthermore, plots 13 and 2 in the Blue Area, with 611 square yards each, attracted the highest bids of Rs. 30.01 lac and Rs. 26.35 lac per square yard, garnering Rs. 1.83 billion and Rs. 1.60 billion, respectively. On the following day of the auction, the committee will offer multiple more plots in the Blue Area, covering 9,600 square yards and 4,511 square yards. According to a CDA spokesperson, all of the top bids are dependent on CDA board approval
