2. Meeting Rooms
& Business Hubs in Bahria Town
When client
meetings require privacy, boardroom setups, or presentation facilities, a café
sometimes isn’t enough. Here are places you should know:
- Civic Center Conference Spaces / Multipurpose Halls:
Located in Civic Center, these halls offer formal room bookings, A/V setups, projectors, and auditorium-style seating. Because Civic Center is central, it provides convenient access for guests staying across phases. - Commercial Plazas with Meeting Rooms (Phase 4 /
Phase 7):
Several commercial plazas in Bahria offer small rooms designed for meetings or interviews. Check plazas in Phase 4 near Civic Center, or shop blocks in Phase 7. - Co-working / Shared Office Spaces (Potential /
Future):
Current development trends in smart cities often include co-working offices. ORTUS could explore partnership or integration with a co-working provider to offer discounted access to guests. (This is a recommendation you could include in your road map.)
3. Commute &
Transport Tips
A great business stay in Bahria Town Islamabad
also needs smart transport and commute strategies. Being close to your
destination, reducing traffic time, and knowing peak windows are key.
Connectivity &
Major Roads
- Expressway / GT Road Link: The GT Road connection and
expressway linking Bahria Town to Rawalpindi and Islamabad makes commute
for business calls, meetings outside Bahria, or reaching Islamabad’s blue
area feasible.
- Internal Bahria Roads / Boulevard Network: Wide, metaled roads reduce
local congestion. Knowing shortcuts inside Bahria (between phases) helps
shaving minutes off travel time.
- Ride Services / Car Rentals: Apps like Careem / Uber / local
taxi services function inside Bahria Town. For frequent travel, renting a
car for the week may reduce waiting time and improve flexibility.

Airport Access: Islamabad International Airport is only 45–50
minutes away, making ORTUS Apartments a strategic choice for international
business guests.
