The PSEB, when it was headed by Yusuf Hussain, had announced plans to build a software park in Chak Shehzad, on the outskirts of Islamabad. Purpose-built IT space was becoming a problem in the city because the previous two IT towers under PSEB management had been completely consumed by burgeoning tech companies. The Chak Shehzad project will be the first campus-style software park in Islamabad.

What’s very encouraging is that despite a change of command at the PSEB, with Talib Baloch taking over, the execution on this project is not skipping a beat. The News most recently reported that the LOI to contract an international consortium including companies from Canada and Finland has been issued.

The Islamabad park will initially occupy about 15 acres and will have 1.5 million square feet of rentable, built-up space. This is the first of three campus style software parks planned in Islamabad, Lahore and Karachi.
