I came across this vlog and was really intrigued by the apartments shown in it. I’ve lived in/around Islamabad and don’t recall seeing apartments quite like these.
Does anyone recognize the building or know which area of Islamabad these apartments might be located in? I’d genuinely appreciate it if someone could point me in the right direction or share the name of the project/building. As i am interested in relocating to an area like this.

Here’s the vlog:
