After the success of Bahria Heights 1-6, Bahria Heights 7 is set to create a stir in Rawalpindi. Situated just 1.5 kilometres from GT Road, right at the entrance of Bahria Town Phase VII, the lavish building provides a good mixture of comfort, luxury and unique offerings.
Booking for the semi-furnished 1- and 2-bedroom apartments is currently open. Interested? Let’s see what this project is all about!
Special features
According to the developer, the apartments on offer will be equivalent to the rooms in 5-star hotels in terms of luxury. The building comprises a ground floor and four additional floors, and the units measure 1021 sq. feet to 1822 sq. feet, which makes them more spacious than traditional apartments.
And that’s not all. These units are also semi-furnished! They are equipped many fixtures and fittings needed for a fully-facilitated lifestyle, including a state-of-the-art cooking range, microwave, dishwasher, and even reversible air conditioners.
The building will be equipped with three elevators, including a cargo lift, 24-hour security, a commercial area on the ground floor and a restaurant. The top floor will have a gymnasium for residents and a free dormitory for domestic help.
Booking and development
Construction on the building began in February 2015, approximately 8 months ago, and the ground floor has been completed while work on the remaining four floors is underway. According to sources, construction was at a standstill for a while but it has successfully commenced once again.
Bookings opened in April 2015. Real estate activity is steady at the moment and overseas investors from Dubai, Oman, and Europe have shown interest. Booking for the commercial floor is nearly complete, while residential units are still available.
Possession and payment options
The apartments are available on an easy 2-year instalment plan and prices are based on size and floor location. The prescribed payment plan is mentioned below:

Ms Shumaila Malik of Bahria Heights 7 told Zameen.com that possession may be granted in around 2 to 2.5 years, when construction is complete and some instalments have been paid.
Right now, the project looks highly promising and will probably be a good addition to the growing number of luxury apartments in the country.
Do you think Pakistanis will start preferring apartments to bungalows in the near future? Let me know your thoughts in the comments section below.

I wonder how people pay 10 million for an apartment!
Pakistan is blessed with lots of open land, readability available for construction and expansion of any major city or a minor town. Therefore, we must not opt for the high rises, rather concentrate on horizontal developments.
The prices of apartments seem extremely high but developer has no issues as long as buyers are there to buy. The later must be sensible.
In fact like many of our other laws, there are big loop holes in those related to development and construction. The laws do not stipulate a completion period for a development binding the developer. Developer on the other hand enjoys liberty to linger on and use the people’s money at his discretion, which is totally unfair and fraudulent practice.
All major developers like DHA, Bahria Town and Fazaia etc., indulged in it and with out a check from any authority. The poor investors, thus are at the mercy of these so called giants.
Laws of developing housing societies must be re-framed and adherence be made mandatory. The followings must also be ensured,
1. Time period for development must, in no case be more than 3 years, no matter how small or large it is
2. Developer must make sure that he has enough land and free from any litigation, before he commences
his development work.
3. Developer must be penalized for the delay and the investor too, if he delays payment of his
installments.
Till now the developer has a total free hand. I suggest constitution of a Council of Realtors Pakistan be constituted by an act of constitution of Pakistan to regulate the real estate business in the country Implementation of the aforementioned rules then be ensured by the competent body.
Thank you for your feedback! Your suggestions are highly commendable and hopefully a system to protect the rights of developers and buyers will be established in Pakistan soon.
