ISLAMABAD: The Capital Development Authority (CDA) has leased out the Islamabad’s F-6 Club House building for a monthly rent of Rs9.5 million to a private company that plans to establish a sports arena and a rooftop restaurant.
According to a newspaper report, the Club House is located in the heart of F-6 near the Super Market, adjacent to a multipurpose sports ground.
The three-storey building, measuring 138×66 square yards, was inaugurated in 2016 by then mayor Sheikh Anser Aziz but remained largely unused as no facilities or equipment were installed for public benefit.
Instead, some offices of the CDA and Metropolitan Corporation Islamabad (MCI) were set up on its ground floor.

According to an official statement, “The Directorate of Sports has successfully auctioned the F-6 Club House at a monthly rent of Rs9.5 million through a transparent process.”
As per the original plan, the facility was meant to include a gym, conference and dining halls, changing rooms, a children’s play area, and a sports shop. CDA later decided to outsource the building, and the auction held on Wednesday received the highest bid of Rs9.5 million per month.
