New Town Gwadar is a residential scheme that began in 1986 as a project for local families. It now has five phases: Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, Phase 4-A and Phase 4-B. Before you buy a plot there, find out which phase it belongs to and confirm the plot record at the Deputy Commissioner’s office.
A Short History
The first phase was launched in 1986 for local residents. Early plots were small residential plots of 120 and 200 square yards, sold at nominal charges so that local families could own land.
Today, more than half of the area is populated, and the scheme has electricity, drinking water and telephone services. The details of the scheme are also on our Newtown Housing Scheme page.
The Five Phases
Phase 1 came first. Phases 2 and 3 were also allotted to local residents. Phase 4-A and Phase 4-B followed, and in Phase 4 some plots were allotted to people from outside Balochistan.
This matters because plots in different phases were allotted at different times and to different groups of people. The allotment history of a plot is part of its file.
Who Oversees the Scheme
New Town works under the supervision of the Deputy Commissioner (DC) Gwadar, and plot records are available at the DC Office Gwadar. Ask to see the record for the plot you are considering, and compare it with the file the seller gives you.
Plot Sizes Then and Now
The earliest plots were 120 and 200 square yards. Listings today include larger sizes. For example, 10 Marla is about 303 square yards. See our 10 Marla plot in New Town, this 200 square yard plot in New Town, and our guide to plot sizes in Gwadar.
What to Check Before You Buy
Confirm the phase and block of the plot. Ask for the allotment letter and check that the name matches the seller. Ask whether the plot has been transferred before, and confirm that the plot number matches the plot on the ground.
Utilities can differ by block, so read water and electricity in Gwadar before you pay. Use our guides to verifying a plot file and property registration and transfer, and the NOC verification page.
Ask for every rate in writing with the phase, block and plot number. Our post on Gwadar property rates by area explains how to compare quotes. You can also browse current Gwadar listings.
