Housing societies: Canyon Views launched

New development comprises luxury villas with Mediterranean designs.

ISLAMABAD: Dubai-based real estate developer Emaar Thursday officially launched Canyon Views Islamabad -- a housing society projecting beautifully constructed, luxurious villas based on Mediterranean designs.
