The dilemma that is the Lahore Ring Road (LRR) cutting through Bahria Town still persists and victims are uncertain about the future prospects of the society.
I have consistently been updating you on the latest developments in this regard. In my last blog on the issue, I discussed the video conference between Malik Riaz and the affectees a few days ago. During the conference, Malik Riaz extended support to affectees and stated that he is trying his best to change the route.
I shared images of Bahria Town’s map showing markings of the LRR route in another blog post, which can be read here. However, I could not update you about the status of Golf View Residencia (GVR) with respect to LRR, which is why I am writing this post today.
Many people have invested in GVR, but are worried about it because they are uncertain about the future of their investment.
GVR is one of the Bahria Town Lahore’s developments which will be affected by the LRR route if the road cuts through the locality.
Please see the image below to have a rough idea of the LRR route through GVR:
Sale-purchase activity
Because of the LRR issue and the allegation that Bahria Town has not acquired land for GVR, people are keeping themselves away from the project. These are the reasons the locality is not seeing impressive sale-purchase activity currently.
Market prices
GVR consists of the northern zone and the southern zone. It features residential plots of 10 marlas and 1 kanal and commercial plots of 5 marlas in these zones.
The current market price of different categories of plots in the locality is as follows:
| Plot Size | Plot Type | Market Price |
| 10 Marla | Residential | PKR 3,200,000 to PKR 4,700,000 |
| 1 Kanal | Residential | PKR 6,500,000 to PKR 9,500,000 |
| 5 Marla | Commercial | PKR 27,000,000 |
Commercial plots were launched at PKR 30,000,000. However, the price of these plots has dropped further after its launch due to uncertainties about the GVR’s future.
Should you invest in GVR?
If you are planning to invest in the locality, I would suggest you wait until Bahria Town officially announces something about the acquisition of land for the project and also about the resolution of the LRR issue.
And those who have already invested in the area should either adopt a wait-and-see policy or sell their plots in GVR, if possible.
That’s all about GVR for the day. As always, I suggest you make informed investment decisions and scrutinise every factor before entering any deal. If you have any investment-related queries in mind, please feel free to converse with me in the comments section below.

Dear Zain bhai,
Thanks for replying, the last information which was out officially is that FWO gave a presentation to LRRA and CM punjab. and authorities asked FWO to submit professional bids(technical+financial) as per their proposals which they shown up in that presentation… This was back in early january2016, since then its a complete silence.
The info which you are sharing, is it the latest one or you are saying the same old thing which i mentioned above ??
I don’t know and could not confirm it, though I tried to confirm the source of this information.
OK. When you will find any latest update in this regard, please do share with us as well
Sure InshaALLAH.
Dear Zain,
Appreciate if you can obtain the Bahria response on LRR and GVR,
Since when Bahria is aware of LRR route?
Why Bahria started this project despite of knowing the Govt. Plan ?
What is land acquisition status?
When Bahria will finalize with Govt. LRR route ?
How Bahria will compensate the GVR affectees? either affected fully or partially.
Is there any possibility for the change of location of GVR?
If no change in location then when development will start ?
What initiatives Bahria will deploy to boost the affectees of LRR.
Regards
Valid QUESTIONS
Bahria management will be able to answer these questions
Yes Bahria should answer and as I explained you earlier good and true journalist is the representative of the public as he has medium and power of pen to raise the voice of public and could guide the public through his vision and awareness on major happenings which affects the public interest.
Biggest example is Hussain Haqani ex Pakistan Ambassador to US just by writing columns in Washington post he try to put pressure on Pakistan why he is doing this either for his own benefit or acting as tool in hand of foreigners is different subject.
But his pen and words either true or lies create troubles for many.
Hope you understand the gravity of such matters
I do understand the gravity of this matter. That’s why I try to remain unbiased.
Zain Sb., thanks for your earlier and current info., re., effect of LRR on BT relevant properties. One thing, I still could not understand that how BT has been handling their developments since inception. In principle, they are required to have NOCs from authorities like,
– LDA or other relevant
– Roads Department
– Water and Electricity Department
– Department of Civil Aviation
– Any Security Department (if required)
– Sewage Department
– Irrigation Department
Do they really have NOCs from the above, if not, then they are fully responsible for the mess. If we do not have the above requirements as mandatory, then our entire system is in a mess.
The plight of affectees is multiplying as the time passes. Therefore, BT must chalk out an explicit compensation package as quickly as possible to lessen the agonies of the concerned. It is their moral responsibility, after all.
Thank you for your feedback Engineer Sb.
Dear Sir
VALID QUESTIONS FROM YOU BUT BT N RIAZ DID FRAUD AS THY R DEALING WD SITUTION.

Effecteee
In Sha Allah
But
Wd many xyz feelings unforunately which r not positive bcz in which way NEGLECTED WAY BT DEALT WD THIS SAGA WD NO OFFICAL STANCE YET…..
hi zain ,
my question about the sector F . how the society of BT will link with all other sectors in the presence of LRR. there would be an other flyover or underpass for rest of BT sectors to make boundary wall gated society or what ? . please expedite if you have any information.
further more, is it quite safe investment in Sector F (like alamgheer, and abubaker Blocks) even LRR constructed.
waiting your prompt response.
Aoa Wasim,
As per I know Ghaznavi Block, Tipu Block, Sher Shah Block, and Sikandar Block are on ground, but none of them have been granted possession, while Alamgir Block, Abu Bakar Block, and Sheikh Saadi Block can only be traced on map.
I suggest you stay away from the blocks which can only be traced on map. Investors should always play a safer game, especially those who a limited budget.
Rest ALLAH knows better.

Dear Zain,
Now a days property dealers are spreading rumors that MR is pressing GOP for changing the route from ADDA plot to Sundar directly without effecting the BT. On other hand LRR Authority yesterday published the rentendering of LRR south. Whats going on as i have invested my hard earn money in Gold View south side 10 M with 19 M own. Your timely information is highly appreciated for overseas pakistanis.

Dear Zain bhai,
Should this mess affect our trust & future buyings in the Brand Bahria town?
i mean do you think its really Govts fault or BT authorities have some weaklings in this?
im just asking for your personal(expert) opinion , obviously its not going to be a fact nor will prove you biased.

Shahrayar
Dear Shehryar,
Prices in clear blocks of Bahria Town Lahore are increasing day by day, as investors are probably of the view that the prices will increase further once the LRR project has been completed. This gives a clear hint that investors have not lost their interest in Bahria’s development. It is true that some blocks are affected, but the remaining area has a good investment potential.
Bahria Town, on the other hand, also needs to realise its shortcomings.

zain Nadeem
Salaam Zain sb,
I have recently bought 10 Marla in Nargis Block behind GVR. This whole area is resdential. Is there any impact of LRR over here. Thanks

Aoa Kashif Bhai,
Please read the following blog post:
http://www.zameen.com/blog/bahria-town-lahore-affectees-pen-letter-to-malik-riaz.html
In this blog post, you will find Bahria Town’s map with LRR’s route marked on it.
I hope this would be helpful.
Please feel free to contact me for further queries.

Dear Zain bhai,
According to above map of GVR regarding LRR markings, my plot is safe as my plot is in between 605 to 607 line.
What do you suggest that Bahria will develop GVR that will not be affected by LRR because from the above map, the beauty of golf course is completely destroyed.
Aoa Ali Bhai,
I don’t think Bahria Town will leave this project unattended. However, currently, it is focusing on the LRR issue. Even if the LRR passes through GVR, unaffected plots will see a boost in property values.

zain Nadeem
Ok, thanks Mr. Zein for your quick response but primarily issue of GVR is land acquisition. The Bahria Town is now launching Talha block after acquiring of land and booking price is 65 LAC.
I’m not understanding how Bahria will give plots to GVR on booking price of 31 LAC.
AoA,
today I called Bahria town.They confirmed that ring road will passed through golf view but they are not telling which plots will b effected.I am worried about this situation my plot is in between 760 to 770 North.
could any one help me to inform is my plot is safe or not.
@Mohammad, the line between 760 to 770 is safe as per above affected map of GVR shared by Mr. Zein. Stay happy
@Muhammad, my plot is also safe from LRR. But issue is that they have no land acquisition and how they will give us land of booking value of 31 lac. Now they are launching Talha block after acquiring land and booking price is 65 lac. Now the inflation rate is high. They booked GVR on 31 lac before 3 years @ 31 lac. How they will give us land???
Thanks a lot for your answer ali ,someone has informed me that there is still no land for gvr so all people who have plots there no need to worry about ring road as bahria will provide another place and bahria is going to change place too for this project so may be they ll give place with less value.All we can just wait and watch.
any latest news ???
Thanks for your information regarding GVR.
It seems to be finalized now that LRR authorities have started to demolish the BT boundry walls. Any updates on this.?
What is the update on GVR…?? No latest report on this so far…??
