The southern part of Lahore is witnessing massive investment activity these days because of various reasons. The expansion of Raiwind Road has played an important role in boosting property prices and now the southern loop of Lahore Ring Road (LRR) – expected to be completed within a year – is encouraging many investors to consider societies located along Raiwind Road.
Although there are many societies located along Raiwind Road, I will shed light on four housing projects in Part 1 of the blog. Rest assured, I will write about the remaining societies, including Icon Valley and Lake City, in Part II.
So without further ado, let’s get started.
Bahria Orchard
Bahria Orchard, a project that comprises three phases, is one of the most sought-after housing societies located on Raiwind Road. According to a Bahria Town official, possession for properties has been granted in the Blocks G, J, and H of Low Cost Orchard (LCO), while possession in the remaining area of LCO and Overseas Low Cost (OLC) is expected by the end of the year.
Phase III of Bahria Orchard was launched recently and 8-marla plots were offered in the locality. According to my sources, the second instalment of these plots is currently due and the plots in question are being traded at a profit ranging between PKR 1,500,000 to 2,800,000 as per location.
Please see the table below to have an idea of the current value of properties in Bahria Orchard:
| Plot Category | Market Price | |
| Developed Plots | Non-developed Plots | |
| 5 Marla | PKR 3,500,000 to PKR 4,500,000 | PKR 3,000,000 to PKR 3,600,000 |
| 8 Marla | PKR 4,500,000 to PKR 6,300,000 | PKR 3600,000 to PKR 4,400,000 |
| 10 Marla | PKR 6,000,000 to PKR 7,200,000 | – |
| 1 Kanal | PKR 10,000,000 to PKR 12,500,000 | – |
I would suggest you consider Bahria Orchard for investment. I understand that prices in the locality have already increased manifold, but there is still room for growth. The LRR will play an important role in causing prices to surge here.
Sui Gas Phase II
Sui Gas Housing Society’s Phase II is another project worth considering on Raiwind Road. The society is almost developed, but electrification work has yet to be completed. You can even visit your plot in the locality as road infrastructure is complete.
The society management has not granted possession for properties yet. However, it is expected that possession will be handed over within a year a so.
The locality features 1- and 2-kanal residential plots. Please refer to the table below to get an idea about plot prices here:
| Plot Category | Market Price |
| 1 Kanal | PKR 4,000,000 to PKR 6,500,000 |
| 2 Kanal | PKR 10,000,000 to PKR 15,000,000 |
These prices are still low compared to many other fully developed housing societies in Lahore, which is why I would recommend you to consider it for investment purposes.
AWT Phase II
AWT’s Phase II is a fully developed housing project with possession already granted for properties. Plot prices in the locality have been increasing continuously over the last three months and are expected to grow further in the time to come.
The completion of the LRR’s Package II, which includes the interchange at Adda Plot on Raiwind Road, will push property prices up in the locality.
The project features 10-marla and 1-kanal plots. Please see the table below to get an idea about property prices:
| Plot Category | Market Value |
| 10 Marla | PKR 4,000,000 to PKR 4,500,000 |
| 1 Kanal | PKR 6,200,000 to 7,200,000 |
Investors as well as homebuyers can capitalise on AWT’s Phase II.
LDA Avenue I
The Lahore Development Authority (LDA) has already handed over possession in the clear area of LDA Avenue I. Currently, people are building their houses in Blocks B, J, and M.
This housing project has an edge over other societies on Raiwind Road because of its location. It is accessible from Khayaban-e-Jinnah and Raiwind Road. Furthermore, people use this area to reach Bahria Town and Defence Road.
Please see the table below to have an idea about plot prices in the LDA Avenue I:
| Plot Category | Market Value of Clear Plots |
| 10 Marla | PKR 4,500,000 to PKR 6,500,000 |
| 1 Kanal | PKR 6,600,000 to PKR 12,500,000 |
I personally believe that property prices will increase in the locality as its population increases.
Why is Lahore seeing so much investment?
Have you ever thought about why Lahore’s property market is witnessing immense investment activity? Well, let me share my views with you. Those who forfeited their properties for the development of Orange Line Metro Train project received huge compensation from the government. With this amount of money in hand, these people are probably investing in the property market. Furthermore, the government is currently tracking incomes and the real estate sector provides a good shelter in this regard.
That’s all I have to share with you for now. We can talk further about the localities discussed in the comments section below. Let me know your queries, I will try to answer them as soon as possible.
And if you would like to garner details about other housing projects located on Raiwind Road, stay tuned! Part II will be up in a few days!

Sure Zia sb. I will do that InshaALLAH.
Sir when is expected electricity in Sui Gas phase 2 ?
Nadeem Sb,
I hope that electrification work will be completed within a year, InshaALLAH.
Secondly, Sui Gas Phase II will probably have better infrastructure than AWT’s Phase II, InshaALLAH. Good time to invest here.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts. I’ve noticed that on Raiwind road just after lake city lahore location , is a road called Jia Bagga road. It is an alternate route to connect ferozpour. Also it can provide access to Chinar bagh and lake city to be connected to alternate Raiwind road. Also Japan power and NLC dry port is located on it. The road is in very bad condition and villagers reside in the area. Have you got any idea and if yes what’s your opinion on this area prices. Already so many small shops are on this road.
Appreciate your thoughts.
Junaid sb,
I just checked this road on Google Maps. This road is already there and you are right it can provide access to Chinar Bagh. This road is also connected to Ferozepur Road on the other side, but it’s passing through some villages, which means it is not a good access road in the current scenario. However, if any developer acquires these villages in the future, this road can become really important.
Is it a property carpeted road?
Thanks Zain.
It is a highly populated area. Superior college is also right next to it. Every sunday Itwar bazar also held on this road.
I think in future this road may become similar to Bund road. On this road carpenters, electricians, mechanics, small factories already established. Prominent location rates are very high. Example 10 marla is above 1 crore. In my opinion all neighborhoods such as AWT, Sui gas, Fazaia, Lake city, Bahrria, Chinar bagh residents will get benefit of that and use the land for commercial activities. And rest Allah knows.
It is not carpeted but I heard soon it will be. And if one day if LDA city turns to be a reality then this road can provide immediate access.
I, appreciate if you can visit the road and gather your insights. It is called Jia Bagga road. And starting point is Aryan pind stop.
Okay, thanks a lot for providing such a useful information
A very good and detailed blog on prospective investment opportunities . Zain, would obliged if you could prioritize these investment avenues with possible gain in next one year.
For investment, I would give high weightage to Bahria Orchard firstly because of its brand name and also the standard of its infrastructure development and then Sui Gas Phase II, where 1 kanal plot prices are still low compared to many other housing societies.
LDA Avenue I is also good for investment, but I would suggest investors consider only clear plots in the locality. I recently visited the society myself and realised that many people are building their houses.
AWT’s Phase II is also good for both investment and living, however, I have heard that its infrastructure is not too high end.
Rest ALLAH knows better.
Dear Zain,
What do you think of Khayaban-e-amin. Should we invest there? Also, wondering if you could explain what sort of investment one should do for smaller and longer term.
Thanks!
Amir Sb,
I am planning to write a blog post on Khayaban-e-Amin today. Please stay tuned to Zameen.com Blog.
Amir Sb,
Haven’t you read my latest article on Khayaban-e-Amin?
Please read this article:
http://www.zameen.com/blog/an-important-update-on-khayaban-e-amin.html
Dear Zain,
Lovely to read your insights and story. In my point of view Sui Gas II, is the best option among all four, because its the cheapest at the moment and considering possession and electrification in one year time hopefully it will perform well. If you can enlist other competitive advantages of Sui Gas II, please do mention those. I am considering putting my money in this society.
Regards,
Jawad
1 year ago I was in the same scenario as you. I was a huge fan of this society. But I am happy that I didn’t invest here. The sources when I visited the society, agents and all, said that electrification will be approved in one year. And it’s still the same story.
However, I still had some chances of investment here, which were vanished when I called Sui Gas 1 office. A very tired sounding bloke picked up a call, and very agonizingly talked to me. He didn’t want to give any date of approval and possession, I asked any idea, then he replied, 5 to 7 years. As soon as I heard that, any chances I had of investment, were dropped.
And I am not agent or anything, just a small investor. It’s my brotherly advice not to invest here. I personally feel Central Park is a much better option. Do visit the site and compare the development with Sui Gas 2. Again, I don’t deal in Central Park! I just feel it’s a much better option. I also feel Grand Avenues on Ferozepur Road will be a decent society in a year to come, in time you wait for electrification!
Thank you for your feedback Jawad Sb.
unrelated to Blog but is does Sukh Chayn have backup electricity like bahria???
Umm, I have to confirm that. I will get back you shortly, inshaALLAH
thanks
You are welcome Shoaib Sb
Sir there is no back up of electricity. But a government grid station is located in the society due to which the hours of load shedding is much less than nearby areas.

Aoa. Read comments above regarding prioritising the investment opportunities. It’s hard to predict indeed. I would like to add this :
In my opinion the first thing is to secure your capital, in other words the principal amount. Right ? This gives birth to the question which of the socities mentioned in the article is the most credible. I think AWT 2 ( Army welfare trust ) is the most credible of all. Personally I always doublt private socities and prefer to invest in credible chimes such as DHA , CDA and AWT etc.
In the end I would like quot your sentence , the universal truth : Rest Allah knows better.
Best wishes to you and also the readers of the article and comments.
Nadeem sb,
I really liked your comment. You have somehow convinced me.
But if you see investment and gain perspectives, I think Bahria Orchard has a lot more potential than AWT’s Phase II. This is also because of the quality of infrastructure development in Bahria Orchard.
You are right that AWT Phase II is a safe locality for investment because it is being backed by Army.
Thank you for taking the time and sharing your insight.
The other points in favour of AWT 2 .
Already fully developed , one can take possession and start building house without any wait period . Electricity and I think even Gas is available. And perhaps the AWT 2 is closest to the Adda Plot intersection of Lahore ring road southern loop especially it’s A block. And I think the AWT 2 and all the societies mentioned in your article has the benefit of vicinity of Sharif medical complex ( hospital, medical, dental college ) , Beacon hose university , Frobels Int’l school etc.
True that!
Kindly update about investment in “Bahria Education and medical City Lahore”
What is future of this society?
Faisal Sb,
As expected, Bahria Town recently launched 5 and 8 marla plots in Bahria Education and Medical City.
If I am not wrong, 5-marla is being offered for PKR 26 lakh and 8 marla for 36 lakh on instalments spread over 2 years.
However, different dealers are quoting different prices. Personally I don’t like its location – too far from Kalma Chowk.
Hi Zain,
Can you please shed some light on IEP Engineers Town?
How is it to invest there and what would be the future trend of returns there?
Thanks.
Zain Bhai,
Kindly spare sometime to look at my query.
Thanks
Will provide you details InshaALLAH.
Brother, I am not updated with IEP Town at the moment. However, I will try to gather information about it and share it with you InshaALLAH.
You didn’t mention about Fazaia, is it not worth considering?
It is, but I will include it in the second part of the article, inshaALLAH.

Asalam o alaikum.
Truly sincere advice coming from you often.
Can you please advise about the khayaban e amin housing society in Lahore. I have a 1 kanal plot and a 2 kanal plot there. Is it a good time to sell or should I hold for future. Also I hope in these societies the issue of qabza isn’t there as I mostly am abroad so can’t check on my property often.
Kind regards and love

With Thanks and Warm Regards
Rasheed..
Rasheed Sb,
All praise is due to ALLAH. I suggest you read the following article:
http://www.zameen.com/blog/bahria-town-lahore-affectees-pen-letter-to-malik-riaz.html
In this article you will see a map with proposed LRR route marked on it. Stay away from the blocks which can possibly be affected by the LRR.
Although I am really hopeful that the LRR won’t cut through Bahria Town.
Let me know in case you need further assistance.
Dear Mr. Zain I need to know your comments about New Lahore city located near AWT and Sui gas. There is any impact of LRR’s to increase the value of this project. Thanks.
Adnan Sb,
If the current route of LRR is followed, the road will pass through Block A of NFC’s Phase II, which is located near New Lahore City.
But I don’t know if you know it or not, Bahria Town has taken stay on the development of LRR in the locality and I think the route will be changed.
So, I don’t think you should base your decision of investing in New Lahore City on the development of LRR because. I hope you have got my point. In case you need further information, please feel to post your query.
what about investing in pakistan medical housung society adjacent to Bahria Town?Will it be affected by southern loop?
Khurram Sb,
There is a risk that the LRR will affect this housing society in the time to come. Though Bahria Town has taken stay on LRR’s development. From where I see, it would be risky to invest here. However, short term gains can be achieved, but I don’t suggest this society for long-term investment.
Dear Sir,
I bought a 5 Marla plot in Phase 1 of Eden Residencia College Road Lahore in Feb 2010. All the installments of 1,912,500/- have been paid to Eden Housing including development charges of 250K.
Whenever I am calling Eden, their customer services used to promise the possession of plot after 6 months. This has been happening for last 2 years now.
Do you have an insight as to what is going on in Eden? Will there ever be a possession of plots in Phase 1. I learnt from various web sites are there is likelihood of fraud for Phase 2 but Phase 1 is more safe investment.
Do you think I should hold this plot of 5Marla or get rid-off it and invest the same amount elsewhere?
Please advise. Thank you a lot!
Hammad Raza
Hammad Sb,
I would suggest you sell your property and do not rely on Eden’s promises and if possible, ask Eden to refund your amount.
I can be more explicit, but I don’t want to. I hope you have got my point.
Zain Sb Aoa,

Dear Zain sb. What is recommendation for investing in this project without having any concerns of lahore ring road’s route. Thanks
Which project are you talking about?
lda has made deal with the petitioner as it has been discussed on this forum and inthis regard i am sharing the link of new map.here it is http:// www. realproperty. pk/map/lda-avenue1-lahore-map-7.html ..my plot is in litigation for years in islamic research society and in this map it can be shown that no of plots has been alternatively allocated in 1st and 2nd balloting in the litigated area like 1048-a,1017-a,1076-a etc in c block lda avenue 1 and hundreds of plots can be seen in this new map.now the problem is lda is delaying but alternative plost has been given and possession as well…….i neeed clear picture of this can anybody comment
Hassan Sb,
It is true that many alternate plots were given, but those plots which are still under litigation have become a bone of contention between the LDA and other landowners.
You will have to wait until the LDA finds a solution for litigious plots.
Dear Zain,
What price hike do you expect in Grand Avenues 10 marla possession plots after Ring Road SL1 completion? Grand Avenues is a bit away from the interchange, do you still think LRR will have positive affect? If yes, about how much?
Waleed,
Every society which will have good access to any interchange to LRR will see a boost in price. Consider the example of DHA’s Phase V, VI and VIII, where prices increased manifold because of the LRR development.
Dear Zain,
Really fully effort blog by you.
Will you be light on Grand Avenue Housing Scheme please.

My opnion bro
Thank you for giving a good suggestion. I also believe that Bahria Orchard will offer good returns after the completion of LRR.
Zain bhai..
Is there any Time Frame for the compiltion of LRR…
According to my knowledge, the LRR will be completed within a year. I am talking about the Packages I and II.
However, in package III, the LRR passes through Bahria Town, and the developer has taken stay on it.
Rest ALLAH knows better.
