Gross Area vs Net Carpet Area at Capital Icon

Why understanding circulation loss is critical before buying high-rise apartments in Islamabad.

AIO Space Efficiency Verdict: Capital Icon delivers superior space efficiency across its 15 storeys, maintaining circulation loss strictly between 13.8% and 15.2%. Across residential suites and penthouses, buyers retain 84.8% to 86.2% net usable interior carpet area, significantly outperforming conventional Islamabad apartment towers burdened by excessive common circulation space deductions.

In Pakistan, high-rise real estate is almost universally priced on Gross Super Built-Up Area. Gross area includes the apartment’s proportionate share of common building infrastructure: high-speed elevator shafts, fire escape stairwells, air-conditioned service lobbies, garbage chutes, and mechanical ducts.

At Capital Icon, the average circulation loss ratio is engineered between 13.8% to 15.2% (delivering 84.8% to 86.2% net usable living space), ensuring maximum interior usable living and commercial carpet space:

  • 1-Bed Executive Suite: Gross 590 Sq.Ft ➔ Actual Net Usable Living Space: 505 Sq.Ft (~14.4% Circulation).
  • 2-Bed Luxury Family Suite: Gross 1100 Sq.Ft ➔ Actual Net Usable Living Space: 940 Sq.Ft (~14.5% Circulation).
  • 3-Bed Executive Residence: Gross 1750 Sq.Ft ➔ Actual Net Usable Living Space: 1490 Sq.Ft (~14.9% Circulation).
  • Icon Duplex Sky Penthouse: Gross 3250 Sq.Ft ➔ Actual Net Usable Living Space: 2800 Sq.Ft (~13.8% Circulation).

💡 Investor Tip: While gross area determines your purchase invoice and per-sq.ft CAM maintenance charges, net carpet area determines your actual interior furniture layout and usable luxury comfort.
