Building Pakistan’s Tomorrow
“We stand on the cusp of a new era in Pakistan’s real estate—one where technology, regulation, and community-centric planning form the bedrock of every project. Our Vision 2035 is to create developments that not only meet the demands of today, but also elevate future generations.”
— Rehan Gillani, Chairman ARD Global
Why Vision 2035?
As Pakistan’s cities grow at a record pace, the need for sustainable, technology-driven, and people-focused real estate has never been greater. Traditional methods of urban expansion have led to fragmented infrastructure, environmental strain, and limited opportunities for middle to low income communities. Vision 2035 is Rehan Gillani’s commitment to rewrite this narrative. By integrating PropTech, AI, and ML solutions, along with robust ESG frameworks, Vision 2035 ensures that every new development is anchored in responsible progress, ethical governance, and long-term resilience.
Core Objectives of Vision 2035
Digital Transformation: Embrace advanced technologies such as blockchain, IoT, and data analytics to enhance transparency, convenience, and efficiency.
Sustainability & ESG: Reduce the environmental footprint through green corridors, renewable energy, and climate-adaptive designs, while also prioritizing social and governance best practices.
Financial Inclusivity: Democratize real estate investments through REITs, fractional ownership, and AI-driven risk assessments, empowering a broader segment of the population to secure their futures.
Sustainability at the Core
Eco-Friendly and Futuristic Urban Planning “Cities of the Future”
Vision 2035 emphasizes environmental stewardship at every turn. From selecting project sites that minimize ecosystem disruption to integrating water conservation technologies, the goal is to coexist with nature, rather than replace it. By 2035, the plan is to fully embed green corridors, complete with native flora and fauna, ensuring that communities thrive alongside biodiversity.
Renewable Energy: Roof-mounted solar panels, wind-harnessing designs, and battery storage solutions help reduce reliance on conventional grids.
Minimal Carbon Footprint: Relying on energy-efficient appliances, LED lighting, and advanced climate control systems lowers operating costs and promotes eco-friendly living.
Long-Term Resilience “Made to Last”
Drawing from global best practices, developments under Vision 2035 incorporate climate-adaptive architecture. Structures are designed to withstand extremes—be it rising temperatures, flash floods, or shifting weather patterns. AI- and ML-enabled monitoring systems track water usage, air quality, and energy consumption, offering real-time data for proactive maintenance and optimization.
- IoT-enabled sensors to monitor energy consumption, ensuring eco-friendly buildings.
- Data-driven city planning to reduce traffic congestion and optimize infrastructure.
- Virtual Reality tours that let buyers inspect properties remotely, expanding the market globally.
Community Well-Being “Made with People in Mind”
Vision 2035 believes in placing human needs first. That means healthy living spaces, plentiful green parks, walkways, and recreational facilities. By interlinking these amenities with tech-based services - think app-driven security checks or AI-assisted community management, residents enjoy ease, safety, and comfort in daily life.
Accountability & Transparency
Regulatory Alignment (RUDA & Beyond)
At the heart of Vision 2035 is collaboration with regulated authorities such as the Ravi Urban Development Authority (RUDA). RUDA’s strict developer vetting (including NAB/FBR checks and escrow guarantees) elevates trust. By working hand-in-hand with RUDA’s framework, Vision 2035 developments benefit from legislative support, robust infrastructure planning, and minimal risk of default.
Investor Confidence
Vision 2035 turns real estate into a transparent, reliable asset class - no hidden fees, no ambiguous contracts. REIT frameworks mandate full disclosure of financials and investor protections. Blockchain-based property records combat fraud while fractional ownership models allow everyday citizens to invest securely.
Data-Driven Decision Making
PropTech forms the backbone of Vision 2035’s accountability drive. By leveraging GIS mapping, AI forecasting, and ML analytics, ARD can accurately identify market demands - whether it’s the need for more mid-sized apartments or premium waterfront villas. Data also helps calibrate construction timelines, budgeting, and risk management.
Matching Demand with Supply
Demographic Focused Planning
Pakistan’s population comprises diverse segments: young professionals, expanding families, retirees, and rural-urban migrants. Vision 2035 aims to cater to each income bracket, from affordable 3.5 and 5 Marla plots to luxury 2 Kanal villas. ML algorithms help forecast which segments are underserved, allowing ARD to target the right size, pricing, and amenities for each project.
Mixed-Use Developments
Vision 2035 envisions integrated communities where residents can live, work, shop, and socialize without long commutes. Commercial, educational, and recreational zones intermingle, spurring local businesses and fostering stronger neighborhood ties. The result? Self-sufficient developments that reduce traffic congestion and enhance quality of life.
Scalable Infrastructure
As cities expand, so must roads, utilities, and internet connectivity. Vision 2035 underscores close collaboration with public agencies to future-proof everything from waste management to public transit. By designing infrastructure with expansion in mind and using AI simulation, communities can adapt without straining resources.
Fostering Real Estate for Future Generations
Educational Initiatives & ESG
Vision 2035 envisions integrated communities where residents can live, work, shop, and socialize without long commutes. Commercial, educational, and recreational zones intermingle, spurring local businesses and fostering stronger neighborhood ties. The result: Self-sufficient developments that reduce traffic congestion and enhance quality of life.
PropTech as a Growth Enabler
From AI-driven chatbots that guide prospective buyers to ML-based credit scoring for flexible payment plans, technology is the equalizer. Tokenizing real estate ownership encourages smaller capital investors to step in, broadening wealth-building opportunities. Blockchain-based ledgers also minimize title disputes, ensuring smoother, quicker transactions.
REITs for Inclusive Investment
Historically, property ownership in Pakistan was restricted to those with substantial upfront capital. Vision 2035 disrupts that norm via REIT offerings; anyone can become a partial owner in large-scale developments. This synergy not only accelerates project financing but also fuels economic growth by unlocking more capital and consumer spending.
Commitments & Tech Adoption
Concrete Progress Goals
Launch new projects annually across different geographies: riverfront, hillside, and urban centers—each adhering to sustainability, accountability, and AI-driven decision-making.
Tech Integration (AI & ML)
Implement ML models in project risk assessment, cost optimization, and marketing. Deploy IoT-based sensors in select developments to monitor resource usage and building health.
ESG-Focused Growth
Publish annual ESG reports, showcasing progress in carbon footprint reduction, community uplift, and transparent governance.
Global Collaboration
