Owing to the increasing demand for housing and to prevent urban sprawling in Lahore, the government of Pakistan is encouraging more vertical developments in the city. This shift towards high-rise developments will help the economy in the long run by saving precious land that can be used for different purposes such as forming green belts and creating more entertainment avenues. The vacant land can also be used in agriculture and cattle farming, thus ensuring food security and contributing to the economic growth of the country. Some of these benefits of vertical cities and the shift in real estate buying trends in vertical developments have prompted many real estate developers to build new apartment complexes in Lahore.
For your convenience, we have brought some of the best areas in Lahore for investing in apartment projects.
