If you’ve considered investing in LDA City, Lahore, here is all you need to know about the development and its latest updates.
About LDA City
Aiming to provide housing for around 50,000 families, the master plan of LDA City, Lahore, sees the project covering nearly 41,000 kanal of pristine real estate. The project is approved by the LDA and being developed under the authority’s supervision. The LDA has specially partnered with several other reputable names in the real estate industry to bring this project to fruition. The partnership is a strategic one since the development authority wants to ensure that every standard of quality is met in the project’s development, particularly the provision and installation of utilities, and the construction of the sewerage system and internal road network.
As a modern and urban development, the housing scheme is scheduled to offer model accommodations and leisure opportunities, with around 45% of the land being dedicated to residential plots for sale, 10% reserved for the commercial sector, and the remaining allocated to roads, parks, and other open spaces to create an ideal living environment for every block and sector. The development of the society is planned in three phases, with LDA City’s Phase 1 being the starting point of the project.
