Gujranwala, also known as the city of wrestlers, is a bustling city in the province of Punjab. It is the 7th most populated metropolis in Pakistan. Being a part of Punjab, the city is also known for its diversity of food, which includes the likes of Batair, Siri Paye, and Lassi, to name a few. While there never were any questions about the significance of the city given its historical importance, the launch of Defence Housing Authority (DHA) Gujranwala has marked a progressive future for the real estate market of the city.
DHA enjoys a stellar reputation in the real estate industry, for all the right reasons. The authority is synonymous with planned housing and world-class amenities. DHA has spearheaded some of the poshest neighbourhoods across Pakistan boasting every necessary amenity such as electricity, gas, and water supply, as well as properly maintained infrastructure and sanitation system.
Apart from the megacities of Karachi, Lahore, and Islamabad, DHA projects are now being developed in many other cities of Pakistan including Multan, Bahawalpur, and Gujranwala. Even though the construction of DHA Gujranwala is in its initial phase, the project boasts everything needed to set new, better, and higher standards of living in the city of Gujranwala.
DHA Gujranwala – The Biggest Housing Project In Gujranwala
Located adjacent to Rahwali Cantt, some 8 to 12 kilometres from the city centre, DHA Gujranwala is one of the most sophisticated housing projects in Punjab. The project is planned to have two main entrances: one from GT Road and one from Gujranwala Cantt.
DHA Gujranwala is situated at an ideal location, in proximity to Sialkot, Lahore, Wazirabad, and Gujrat. Being constructed at the outskirts of the urban centre of Gujranwala, this military-owned housing scheme is a new entrant in the real estate market of Pakistan. The project has all the makings of a lucrative investment opportunity that somewhat guarantees better profits.
Why Invest In DHA Gujranwala
There are various factors to take into account while investing in DHA Gujranwala. The very first thing is the sense of safety that comes with investing in any project backed by the Defence Housing Authority.
Secondly, after analyzing the property performance in cities such as Karachi, Lahore, and Islamabad, it has been observed that the real estate value of DHA neighbourhoods rarely takes a dive. In fact, they mostly go up, and in some cases, their financial growth outpaced the growth of other localities in these cities. So, it’s no wonder that DHA Gujranwala has also become an investment hotspot.
