Gwadar is quickly becoming the epicenter of Pakistan’s real estate boom. With billions invested under the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC), and the government’s Smart Port City Master Plan gaining momentum, the need for legal, verified, and strategic property investments is more critical than ever.
That’s where GDA-approved projects come in. The Gwadar Development Authority (GDA) serves as the primary regulator ensuring the legal status, planning, and infrastructure compliance of all real estate developments in the region. Investing in a GDA-approved project not only safeguards your capital but also guarantees long-term value and development.
At Al Ahad Associates, our projects strictly comply with GDA regulations. In this blog, we highlight the Top 5 GDA-approved projects in Gwadar, with a deep dive into our own flagship development—Sunrise Tower

What Is a GDA-Approved Project?
A GDA-approved project is one that has received a formal No Objection Certificate (NOC) from the Gwadar Development Authority. This means:
- The project adheres to GDA zoning, infrastructure, and environmental policies
- Development is permitted and regulated
- Legal documentation is verified and registered
- Utilities and infrastructure plans are approved
Why is this important? Because many speculative or unauthorized projects are being marketed to investors without genuine approvals, leading to legal disputes and financial losses. Always verify GDA approval before investing.
Top 5 GDA-Approved Projects in Gwadar
1. Sunrise Tower by Al Ahad Associates
NOC Number: GDA NOC #330-37
Location: Central Gwadar
Type: Residential + Commercial Mixed-Use High-Rise
Why It Stands Out:
- Prime location with proximity to main roads and port connectivity
- Modern architectural design with apartments, offices, and retail space
- Fully GDA-approved with transparent documentation
- Developed by Al Ahad Associates, known for trust and experience
Sunrise Tower is a benchmark for quality construction, legal clarity, and investment potential. Whether you’re looking for a home, rental income, or long-term capital gain, Sunrise Tower delivers on all fronts.
2. White Pearl City
Developer: In partnership with Al Ahad Associates
Type: Residential Gated Community
Highlights:
- Located in a strategic area of Gwadar
- GDA-approved and master-planned
- Features wide roads, parks, schools, and community facilities
White Pearl City combines comfort with connectivity. It is one of the few residential schemes in Gwadar with a clear development plan and phased execution.
3. Sangar Housing Scheme
Developer: Government of Balochistan
Type: Premium Residential Project
Highlights:
- Located on Koh-e-Batil, offering sea-facing plots
- Backed by government planning and execution
- Ideal for luxury living and long-term investment
Sangar is widely considered one of Gwadar’s most prestigious housing schemes. It is especially popular among overseas Pakistanis.
4. New Town Housing Scheme
Developer: Gwadar Development Authority (GDA)
Type: Mixed Residential & Commercial Project
Highlights:
- One of the earliest legal housing projects in Gwadar
- Divided into multiple phases (1 to 4)
- Close to Gwadar Port and city center
New Town remains a favorite among seasoned investors due to its central location and government-backed credibility.
5. China Pak Golf Estates
Developer: CPIC Global (Chinese-Pakistani Joint Venture)
Type: Gated Luxury Residential Community
Highlights:
- International-standard amenities (golf course, parks, schools)
- Secure environment, targeted at overseas investors
- High demand due to strong branding and foreign collaboration
This project showcases how Gwadar is attracting global attention, combining modern design with secure investment structures.
Why Choose a GDA-Approved Project?
Here are the key reasons why your investment should always go through a GDA-approved project:
- Legal Security: Your land or unit is officially recognized by GDA
- Infrastructure Commitment: Approved projects are tied to actual development timelines
- Resale Value: Buyers trust legal documentation, increasing demand
- Access to Utilities: Water, electricity, roads are more likely to be delivered on time
Unapproved schemes may look attractive, but they carry serious legal and financial risks.
