Lahore is home to more than 10 million people and according to an analysis, the city’s population is increasing at an annual rate of 3%. The tendency among people from smaller towns and cities of Punjab to migrate to the provincial capital has been addressed well by a systematic and planned southward and eastward expansion of the city. Lahore has consequently experienced massive infrastructure development over the past decade and with the Ring Road now encircling the city – except for the southern loop – many housing societies are now within comfortable reach from the city’s central areas.
SCOPE & LOCATION
A recent and grand addition to the housing sector of Lahore is that of Lahore Development Authority (LDA)’s flagship project LDA City. The project is located on Ferozepur Road near the Gajumatta Metro Bus Station and lies just 1.5km away from the Lahore Ring Road. LDA City spans a massive 61,000 kanals and is set to become the largest residential project of Punjab. The project will offer world class accommodation to thousands upon thousands of families in Lahore.
TOWN-PLANNING
In addition to being one of the largest residential projects in the country, LDA City is also a pioneering project in terms of town-planning. Given the size of the community, the LDA has massive plans for this project, which include construction of various bridges, underpasses, wide and carpeted roads, business centres and recreational facilities.
The amenities planned for LDA City include a full 18-hole golf course, a health city, an education city, a sports city, various hotels and modern shopping malls, 24-hour public transport facilities that include bus terminals, railway stations and shuttle services. As a walled and gated premises, the LDA City will also feature a sophisticated security system.
DEVELOPMENT
For this project, the LDA has chosen to work on a public-private partnerships basis. The authority’s criteria for choosing partners from the private sector were extremely thorough and the process was equally transparent. Based on this scrutiny, the LDA chose 5 developers who enjoy a very sound reputation in the market.
AFFORDABILITY
Perhaps the best features of LDA City is that it is extremely inclusive. Buyers from all income strata can easily afford to buy plots here, which are available in 5-marla, 10-marla, 1-kanal and 2-kanal cuttings. The sale price of these plots include 50% of the total development charges while the remaining 50% are to be paid once the possession is offered in 2017.
And if you weren’t already aware, I would like to inform you that despite being a grand project with excellent features, the property rates here are extremely affordable and there is a very convenient instalment plan on offer as well.
INVESTMENT POTENTIAL
LDA City has great investment potential as well. This is evident from the fact that prices of plot files here have increased 50% over the course of the last year. Early investors in the project have already seen awesome returns and time is ripe for new investors to plunge forward and make the investment of a lifetime.
So hurry up and click here to have a look at the instalment plan and all the necessary details required to book your plot in one of the biggest and most promising real estate developments of Pakistan!

The product name of LDA City has been buzzing around for a while now. But looks like LDA is now really getting serious about putting the project on a fast track as I saw on TV a commercial about the project for the first time ever. While Ms. Samra gives a rosy picture of the project’s potential, she did not dwell on the performance potential of the LDA. I would request Ms. Samra or any other Zameen Experts to kindly give us a realistic preview as to how the project may progress in future and if the LDA has the capacity, strategy or reputation to deliver on its possession deadline of 2017.
Thank you
Hey Wasee,
In last one year, property rate of files in LDA City has increased by 50%.
Why you shouldn’t worry about investing there?
1 – LDA has acquired all the land before offering files, which means no possible hurdle in offering property possession.
2 – LDA is in private public partnership with various reliable names from the industry including Urban Developers. For real estate developers, reputation is everything if they intend to survive in the market.
3 – The price rise seen in one year, reflects people’s faith in the project and if you can get returns in such short time, why should you not?
4 – No other project in Lahore can ever offer property at rate as attractive as LDA City’s.
I am myself considering to invest there, and will make sure that every bit of information should reach the readers of Zameen.com’s blog.
Dear Samra
Thank you very much for listing why-nots. Plz keep us informed of any meaningful develpment about the project which may be important for investors.
Plz do me the same favour as yo did to “jahan zeab” about some reliable contact for puraching a file. Thank you once again.
Dear Waseem,
I have forwarded your contact details to the person concerned, you will soon hear from him.
Take care.
Dear Samra
Thank you very much. I have received the email from the person.
Dear samra you are doing a great job…just give me some help regarding overseas pakistanis…I want to buy a plot….better for me ….like star marketing?????plz give me a valid source for buying a plot from here….
Jahan Zeab,
I am making someone get in touch with you. You will receive the email from the person concerned soon.
Stay blessed Jahan Zeab.
Very Wrong! How can you say price has gone up by 50%, I bought 10Marla for 15Lac in 2013 and it’s is still now only 15.90 lac after 1.5 years? increase of 90 thousands over 1.5 years? I now started to doubt the moral ethics of your blog and website? I would strongly condemn wrong information provided.
Very Disappointed !!
Murtaza Sahb, please check the prices carefully before you raise questions about our morals and ethics. A 10-marla file is currently selling for PKR 1,990,000, not 1,590,000. I refer you to the payment plan:
http://www.zameen.com/new_projects/lda_city/payment_plan-655-167.html
You can also google it.
Furthermore, I would like to inform you that 10-marla files were selling for PKR 1,090,000 in 2013, and if you procured it for 1,500,000 back then, you might have been defrauded, I am sorry.
Though it may seem to you that the purpose of this blog is to advertise, it in fact exists to educate.
I am not sure if price is different when paid over the instalments. However I paid in cash price all lump sum and happy to get rid off even for 19lac 50 thousand if that is the current price u suggested. LDA will not hand over plots in next 25 years.
Above information is totally wrong. Samra seem to have very little knowledge of the project See facts below:
1- About 10% of the land has been acquired so far. Check details from LDA City project where people have offered their land to LDA. The process is on-going but a slow pace at the moment.
2- Urban Developers are ok but not reputable as many people are stuck in their projects I-e central park and grand avenue.
3- Price rise is not on ground. 10 marla was sold at 15Lac minimum and still it is available at 15.9Lacs on lump sum. Even the installment plan which is offered now by Star Marketing are advertising it for 18Lac (By 10% discount).
I really follow Zameen on regular basis but please do not spoil your reputation on by advertising wrong information.
Dear Mr Shahid,
1. Yes, the process is slow because acquiring 60,000 kanals is not any easy job and not everybody’s land can be taken up immediately because the developer has to ensure that the land is free from any litigation issues. And at the end of the day, I’m sure you’ll agree that avoiding litigation issues will always be in favour of the buyers. 🙂
2. Urban Developers have delivered many other projects as well and they are just one of the development partners. Grand Avenues is in the secondary market and its first phase has been sold out. Plus, Grand Avenues is a project of Urban Developers ASSOCIATES. They are two different concerns. People are actually living in Central Park, too.
3. Nobody can control the prices in the secondary market. Even if the original price was 1.59 million there was still an increase of about 50% in the overall file prices once 10-marla went up to 1.99 million and other sizes also saw major growth. The 10% discount is offered only on upfront payment, sir, not via the instalment plan, which is what we’re referring to in this post.
Ibrahim,
Just one reply to all of your above comment …
Can you buy files at 1.99 million? 🙂
Secondly, before 2 weeks, there was no installment plan on offer. You just trying to play with words to defend. I am not against that project, have keen eye on it and may be building my house one day. But please show facts .. There is on 10% price increase in actual. Still I can buy 10 marla on 1.59 million lump sum. Its not short term project, its long term. Please guide people correctly.
Dear Samra, I am an overseas pakistani wishing to invest in LDA City Housing Scheme. Can you please let me know if there is any firm working to target overseas pakistanis
Furthermore , 10Marla has never been sold for 10Lac officially ! if you could only prove that with evidence I am happy to take my comment back and not only that will sell you my file 4lac less than market price since you mentioned you are interested in getting one yourself. OPEN CHALLENGE!
I am interested to buy 1 kanal plot in LDA City.please provide contact details from where to buy reliably?please either share details on this blog or send it to my email.waiting.Thanks. Afridi
Keeping in view LDA AVE1 investment in LDA City is risky
What is check of LDA over pvt state agents if they over sell the files?
If possession is late like LDA AVE 1 what will be responsibility of these so called good state companies?
hi can you send me any trusty agent detail so i can go ahead with LDA CIty.
thanks
Samra you are very good at sell. It is cheap because because it will be handed over in 2020. In 5 years investment can be doubled which is not very bad. If PML N lost power then it can be further delayed, Samra can tell us about other investors.
Well, it’s on the news paper that LDA is still acquiring land for LDA City. Then how could you say that the land has been acquired? This news is on the newspapers and media.
And what’s the guarantee that overseas Pakistanis will get the plots on the front blocks? Normally 99% of the time overseas Pakistanis are getting the plots at the back end of the societies.
I am an Overseas Pakistani looking to invest in LDA City; can anyone provide me the reliable source to get in touch to purchase a file?
Yes Haroon,
I have forwarded you contact details to the person concerned. He will get in touch with you shortly.

Can you please provide me with the information about my following questions!
1:Complete information about Phase 1.
2:When is balloting expected?
3:After how much time the possession of the plots will be given?
4:What are the expected development charges?
5:Does the Development Work will slow down with the change of the Government?
6:What if I invest in LDA City and if this scheme gets failed as there are rumours that this society might have to face cases because of the Agricultural land issue, so will my investment will turn into 0 or ill get a refund or undeveloped land in the favour of my files?
7:In your expert opinion in How many years you are seeing a population living in this society?
Dear Mr Usman,
1 – The layout plan of the development would be available by the end of March 2015.
2 – The balloting of plots would take place by the end of 2015
3 – The possession would be given by the mid of 2017.
4 – For 5-marla, development charges are PKR 250,000 and its token money is PKR 20,000. The development charges for 10-marla is PKR 450,000 and its token money is PKR 30,000. The development charges and token money for 1-kanal are PKR 750,000 and PKR 30,000 respectively
5 – It is an LDA project not of the Government of Punjab, the development work should ideally remain unaffected by any change of the government.
6 – About the 6th question, I have to talk to some from LDA City, please give me some time for that.
7 – It shouldn’t too long after the possession, which is promised in 2017.
Thank You very much for your response and I am waiting for your reply for Question 6.
The development charges you have listed above are finalized and are they the complete charges we have to pay or We will pay the 50 percent of it as LDA is proclaiming that there prices includes the 50 percent of development charges?
Sir Irfan
I want to know about what are the steps for registration and where i got forum for registration?
Please Help me!!
Please get me an email from the contact person dealing with LDA City Lahore. Thanks
i am an overseas pakistani. i am interested to buy 10 marla in LDA city. can u provide me details of responsible person….thanks
I have a plot in lda avenue one which comes under litigation.
I remember they did heavy advertisements of lda avenue 1 with banners all around Lahore.
While they did not acquired land they balloted and the rest of the case you know about.
Please be careful people this, we have not got a plot yet and it’s still under litigation.
It’s better to buy 10 lacs + plot rather than buying a file.
Specially of lda project. They attract people with less price and then they make small investor /buyer to suffer for decades.
I request each and every one to get the deep details before buying the file.
Sincerely
LDA affectee

Moreover, in Nov, I heard there was some fraud cases in both State-Life Housing Scheme Ph-2 and Formanites Scheme near by it.

I have booked one 10 marla plot already gave one instalment in LDA city now the case is under NAB should we hold further installments and whats its future
I have booked 10 Marla plot in LDA city for 19,90,000/= last January 2015) you guys are telling that it was 1590000/ . Did I do some mistake. This price was showing on TV add.
Can some one tell the truth.
HI Team,
May i know when is the balloting on plots in LDA city ? Please reply
Hi,
How COME zameen.com didn’t mention LDA city case under NAB ??
Ms. Samra Zulfiqar, are you so naive to not know about this or deliberately not disclosing this peace of vital news about this project as a big SCAM,
Quoting from Dawn Newspaper:
MEGA LAND SCAM that was depriving people of their hard earned money…
http:// www. dawn. com/news/1210396
This was certainly not expected from Zameen.com !!!
Not Stating any issues which investors could face. LDA is a public entity with not very good track record for example it’s Johar Town Lahore is full of fraud and there are issues of title and LDA staff helps influential land grabbers by taking bribe. Another project of LDA is LDA Avenue I, here LDA had handed over possession After 14 Years for only 59% of plots, remaining 41% plots are still in litigation and there is no chance of clearance of this litigation in near future. Now LDA has launched this scheme with the name of LDA City on ferozepur road Lahore. The Development Partners In This Project are Urban developers who also are unable to develop even their own scheme Central Park on Ferozepur road Lahore for more than 10 years.
This information is only shared so that people who want to invest in LDA City must be aware of issues they could face.
If the installment get late then what are the conditions apply.
Secondly what is the future of this LDA city scheme, Is it like LDA Avanue I where people are still struggling to get possession of their plots.
i wana reply from mis samra.
Regard
Rashid
