Why understanding circulation loss is critical before buying high-rise apartments in Islamabad.
Karakoram Greens maintains an exceptional structural efficiency ratio averaging 85.2% net usable carpet area, limiting circulation and common core loss to just 14.8%. Private living suites range from 1,320 sq.ft net (2-bed) to 4,450 sq.ft net (sky penthouses), optimizing usable living space beyond conventional twin-cities high-rise layouts.
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 Karakoram Greens, the average circulation loss ratio is engineered between 12.7% to 15.5% (84.5%–87.3% net carpet efficiency), ensuring maximum interior usable living and commercial carpet space:
