One Homes to pioneer Pakistan’s first wellness-led development in Islamabad

Pakistan’s first wellness-led residential development is set to launch in Islamabad,  introducing a next-generation living experience shaped by nature, design, and environmental intention.

Developed by leading British real estate company One Homes, the upcoming project will introduce sustainable living in a prime location on the Murree Expressway. The location, selected for its air quality and natural surroundings, sits 12 minutes from Islamabad’s city centre and 45 minutes from Murree.

The building is expected to integrate passive design principles, rainwater harvesting, and energy-efficient materials to minimise long-term environmental impact. This is supported by a strong focus on wellness, with biophilic design, optimised air quality, and restorative spaces crafted for everyday balance and longevity.

Wellness-focused amenities include a saltwater infinity pool, a sound therapy room, a sauna and cold plunge pool, and a Himalayan salt chamber, alongside pickleball and padel courts. Together, these choices reflect a new standard for longevity-centred living in Pakistan: climate-conscious, future-forward, and health-enhancing.

Aqib Hassan, Chief Commercial Officer at One Homes, said, “This development reflects years of thinking about how people should live, not just where they live. Every detail, from its orientation and elevation to its materials and futuristic design, supports long-term well-being. We’ve drawn inspiration from Blue Zone principles, where environment and lifestyle work together to promote health and longevity. That idea runs through the architecture, the air quality, and even the social spaces. The result is a residence that feels restorative, timeless, and built with purpose.”

At present, partner names have not been released, but One Homes has built a reputation for working exclusively with brands that have earned global acclaim in their respective fields. Confirmed so far are Varabyeu Partners and Versace Ceramics, each contributing expertise in architecture and interiors, respectively.

One Homes, part of One Group, is a prominent foreign investor in Pakistan’s real estate sector. Founded by entrepreneur Zeeshaan Shah, the group has over $435 million worth of projects under development in the country, including their flagship development, One Canal Road in Lahore, which is expected to be delivered early next year.
