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