DHA Valley Islamabad Proves it is a Child of Real Estate Giants

Defence Housing Authority and BahriaTownare the two titans of Pakistan real estate and wonder what miracles these two can bring together in their joint venture naming DHA Valley Islamabad. DHA has been a name of brilliance in real estate of Pakistan for more than two decades while Bahria Town has also been writing success stories in all its projects for the last decade or so. The two have come together in this project along with the Habib Rafiq Private Limited in the 2008 announced DHA Valley Islamabad.

Situated midway between Rawalpindi Center and Islamabad Highway on the G. T. Road, this gated society is easily accessible from both the twin cities. The society also is a bounty for those who love the traditional lifestyle of Rawalpindi and the static beauty of Islamabad as it is a blend of both. As it is a gated society with effective security system and efficient personnel the safety of the society is almost fool proof and this adds to the reasons why investors and agents are predicting its success.

The same could be seen in the mix of the society as on one hand DHA Valley gives a complete block for the overseas buyers named as DHA Valley Overseas Block while on the other hand the plots comprise of 5 to 8 marlas so that not only the rich of the society can buy it but also the middle class can afford these DHA valley Islamabad plots for sale. Another key feature of the society is the DHA Commercial Avenue for markets, shops, offices etc. Investors are showing great interest in this commercial project as well because of its easy accessibility from both Islamabad and Rawalpindi.

Although there are a number of thriving societies like Bahria Town Rawalpindi that DHA Valley has to compete with yet it is showing favorable results since its inauguration in 2008 and that marks the strength of DHA brand as well as the matchless services and facilities that the society has been providing.

Plots Auctioned Again, but for Better Profits

It was alleged that the CDA’s Management Wing Officials had set the bids lower than what actually was expected. The officials were alleged to have been bribed by the influential bidders in this regard.

However, this decision of canceling the previous auction paid CDA big time as the CDA earned more than 2 billion rupees instead of about 19 billion in the first one. The reserve price of the plots was also revised. The last was once performing during 2005 and 2006 when Islamabad property prices and the property prices all over the country were showing extremely positive trend.

Lahore – A Journey through the Ages

Lahore was founded by Loh, son of Ram, the Hindu deity some four thousand years ago according to the legends. Proven evidence shows that the city has been there for at least 2 thousand years. It has been the cultural capital of the region for at least a thousand years.Lahore is a blend of history and modernity. This city has been home to the Sufi saints like Data Ganj Bakhsh and Madho Lal Hussein, the kings like Akbar, Shah Jehan, Shah Mehmood Ghaznavi and Ranjit Singh, the singers like Rafi, Mukesh, Mehdi Hassan, Sehgal and Madam Noor Jehan, poets like Iqbal, Faiz and Faraz, cricketers like Imran Khan and Wasim Akram and writers like Amjad Islam Amjad, Ehsan Danish and Pitras Bokhari.

The Moghal architecture displays the glorious past and historical importance of this city while Lahore Zoo, Jinnah Library, Punjab University, National College of Arts and Government College University, Lahore flaunt the delightful mix of Anglo-Indian architecture.

However, Lahore is altogether a different place today. The historical master-pieces are still very much there but when today you visit Lahore, you would have to go and look for those beautiful monuments in the walled city of Lahore. Today,Lahoreis a city of tall buildings, offices, malls, markets, parks, grounds, roads, bridges and of course the traffic.

It is expanding belligerently and the modern societies give look of an Pak-European mixed lifestyle. When someone visits today the DHA or Bahria Town Lahore, he cannot even imagine what this city would have looked like some 60 years ago.

The population of Lahore kept increasing due to constant influx of expats in Lahore and with time the capacity of the old city started to dwell. So the Lahore real estate looked beyond the set marks of the city and started to expand it towards what once was called as outskirts of Lahore. These new societies have been developed keeping the contemporary trends in focus with best living and transportation facilities and fulfill all the needs of a resident who wants to live at a place that is away from the buzz of the city yet in connection with the same.

Lahore has changed significantly over the years as it has come a long way from the ages of Ram through the Moghal era into the new global village times and its character exhibits marks of this splendid journey. Lahore is a place that has been a dream for every Pakistani living outside Lahore and it gives all of them today what they desire for including the tourists’ attractions, jobs, education, business and of course accommodation.

The society has been developed in such a way that it favors the pedestrian and the public transport users.
