Introduction

Most people call it DHA Rahbar. Officially, it is DHA Phase 11 Lahore, built by DHA Lahore. This phase actually includes lots of facilities like residential, commercial, community plots, etc. Expect to encounter ease of access due to its proximity to Defence Road, Raiwind Road, Ferozepur Road, and the Lahore Ring Road.

Phase 11 has features that set it apart from the other phases. First of all, Phase 11 has a sector layout, whereas the other phases are built in a contiguous style. Sectors I and II are complete (sold and settled), while the rest are still developing. DHA's official map shows the sector layout for Sectors I, II, III, IV, and V. However, Sector V is also a little bit different due to the ongoing merger with Phase XI.

Quick Facts

DHA Phase 11 Lahore Location

Phase 11 is located in Southern Lahore. This gateway connects Phase 11 to other major roads of the city.

Major Connectivity

• Defence Road: the main access to the DHA and its surrounding schemes.
• Raiwind Road: leads in the direction of Raiwind and the southern side of the city.
• Ferozepur Road: links to Central and Western Lahore.
• Lahore Ring Road: adds length and provides access to the extent of Lahore.

Phase XI of DHA shows New Defence Road, Khayaban-e-Amin Road, TIP Society, Hudiara Drain, and the roads toward Kahna in the surrounding Sectors on the maps.

Due to the size of Phase 11, the time required to travel depends on the Sector and Block you are starting from, and there can be no definite answer.

DHA Phase 11 Sectors and Blocks

No single map covers the whole thing. Sectors I to III share one; Sector IV has its own; Sector V stands alone.

Sector I

No single map captures the entire project. Sectors I to III share a map; Sector IV is different; Sector V is also different.

Sector I

This is an area that is increasingly settled in Phase 11, and as per DHA's map, the blocks in this area are:

• 1A
• 1B
• 1C
• 1D
• 1E

This is a commercial and housing area and provides the full infrastructure of a community with commercial, residential, recreational and worship facilities.

Block 1A was awarded possession on 2 October 2024.

Sector II

Sector II DHA Map shows:

• 2F
• 2G
• 2H
• 2I
• 2J
• Sector II Extension

This sector should be a good build-up of what is in Sector I with housing and other community facilities.

Block 2F was given possession on 11 April 2022. Previously, the records of DHA show Sectors II and III - Haloki Garden - with possession on 11 January 2022.

I want to say this again. When checking block names in ads, refer to the DHA map to confirm. Everything that is in the ads may not be DHA's officially recognized block.

Sector III

Part of the Phase XI Rahbar development. Comes with residential plots, schools, parks, roads, and the usual community facilities. It's on the same map as Sectors I and II.

Sector IV

Sector IV consists of:

• 4Q
• 4R
• 4S
• CCA3 and other planned commercial zones

Possession of 4Q, 4R, and 4S is confirmed with dates between December 2023 and October 2024.

This plan has residential zones, parks, green belts, schools, a college, a hospital, mosques, community center facilities, and different widths of roads.

This looked really good, but I had to shorten a lot of sentences.

Sector V

This area is still provisional until the merger with Phase XI is complete. Please confirm the details with DHA before proceeding. Listings may still be using the old block names from KEMC/Sector V. Until the sale is confirmed using DHA records, please verify the block names.

Plot Sizes in DHA Phase 11

Each sector has its own sizes. Looking at the official maps, there are sizes for:

• 5 Marla
• 7 Marla
• 8 Marla
• 10 Marla
• 1 Kanal

Larger plots in some sectors

When buying, know the exact block, plot category, and the official site plan. Just knowing the size doesn't mean it's available in that location.

DHA Phase 11 Lahore Prices

Prices move around a lot here. Sector, block, possession status, location, road width, how far along development is, plot size all of it plays a role. What's below is current market activity, not a fixed DHA rate.

Recent Residential Plot Market Indicators

Why Prices Differ

A plot's price depends on several factors:

• Sector and block
• If occupied or unoccupied
• Big or small plot
• Corner or park facing or neither
• Main road or back street
• Road width
• How much the plot development has progressed
• How much surrounding commercial activity has progressed
• Demand and supply are the same everywhere
• Plot shape and location

Houses in DHA Phase 11

DHA Phase 11 consists of market-ready housing developments in most of its sectors.

The following types of housing exist:

• 5 Marlas
• 8 Marlas
• 10 Marlas
• 1 Kanal
• Newly-built
• Built by owners
• Older houses in built sections
• Investment properties

The cost of these properties depends upon the quality of construction, covered area, block, street, age of construction, and the extent of finishing.

For buyers of immediate occupancy, a ready-built house is the preferable option over a built-to-order house and the waiting time for construction.

Rental Market

Rental demand for Phase 11 is good, especially for the established units. This makes sense given the residential development and the easy access to main roads.

Several factors influence house rents:

• Generally speaking, 5 marla plots fetch a consistent rental income.
• The size of a house correlates with rental income.
• There is a huge disparity between renting furnished versus unfurnished houses.
• Additionally, corner and park-facing plots, along with prime locations, are able to charge more.

The quality of construction matters; so does the block's market location.

The rental market is faster and more responsive than the market for selling plots. Therefore, if rental income is a component of your plan, you should view the rental listings, not the sale listings.

Education Facilities

Phase XI of DHA has many schools captured in their education data.

• School 3A
• Boys School, 2H
• School, 1A
• School, 4S
• School 4R
• College, 4R

Each school has allocated land in DHA records.

This can be important for permanent settlement for families.

Healthcare and Community Facilities

Community amenities were integrated into the design from the beginning for completed and future phases.

These included or will include:

• Healthcare services
• Schools
• Parks
• Sports facilities
• Mosques
• Community facilities
• Commercial areas
• Green open spaces
• Roads and utility networks

The Rahbar materials quote DHA CEO Mr Rashid Makhboub as saying that the subsequent phases will include “community mosques, a sports complex, a community center, a medical complex with a number of clinic sites, schools and service clubs to complement the already existing medical and commercial services,” among other amenities.

Commercial Areas

A good portion of the development plans includes opportunities for commercial space.

DHA's mixed-use listings include:

• Sector CC2
• Sector 1B
• Sector 1A

These include JV, BOT, and mixed-use arrangements. They are not standard residential blocks.

As more people occupy the residential spaces, it will attract commercial activity to the plots and businesses. Even so, think of commercial space as its own investment opportunity. In this case, a location's potential for foot traffic will be far more important than in the case of residential space.

Master Plan and Development

DHA is forced to carry out Phase 11 in a sector-by-sector fashion.

Each phase features preliminary placements of:

• Residential Plots
• Commercial Areas
• Parks
• Green Belts
• Schools
• Colleges
• Hospitals
• Mosques
• Sports Facilities
• Community Facilities
• Grid And Utilities Infrastructure
• Wide Connecting Roads

Phase IV has a sector plan showing residential, commercial, and service zone roads that vary from approximately 40 ft to 120 ft in width.

There is a great deal of development that occurs in a phase. Some parts of a phase are well developed while others are developing or undeveloped.

Possession Status

Possession status is one of the clearer differences between parts of Phase 11.

Per DHA's own records:

Straight from DHA's own possession record: these dates.

Investment Potential

Phase 11 pulls in investor interest mainly because it holds both settled neighborhoods and developing sectors, all under one scheme.

Potential Advantages

• Development of areas is underway
• An opportunity to invest in areas of your choice
• Developed commercial areas
• Excellent accessibility to main road networks
• Growing resident base
• Possessions are complete
• Adequate school systems and community facilities
• Opportunities for additional business development
• Easy on the pocket with affordable pricing

Investment Risks

• Prices fluctuate quickly from sector to sector.
• Some of it is still being built.
• The rates fluctuate like other markets.
• Demand for commercial and residential real estate does not follow the same pattern.
• The price we show is likely not the actual closing price.
• Sector V still needs to finalize the status of all its mergers.
• Be sure to research the documents and the fees required to clear any transaction.

Family Living in DHA Phase 11

Here is the information most families consider important.

• First, the layout of the community is essential.
• The location of schools and community resources is important.
• Parks and green space are important.
• Close-by mosques
• Community sports and recreation facilities are important.
• Proximity to major roads is important.
• Newly constructed houses that are ready to move into are important.
• Active and growing business facilities.

Fully developed neighborhoods have completed houses ready to move into. The developing neighborhoods provide more housing affordability.

Pros and Cons

Pros

• DHA Lahore has built everything.
• Solid road network
• Range of sectors and types of properties
• Possession already awarded in many sectors
• Educational institutions and community facilities
• Growing business activities
• Can be a good option for living or for investment

Cons

• Prices change from sector to sector
• Not uniformly developed across the phase
• Work in progress in some areas

Property Buying Checklist

Prior to purchasing plots or homes in Phase 11:

• Confirm sector and block against the DHA current map.
• Confirm plot number and the plot dimensions.
• Check possession status.
• Check completion of allotment, transfer, or allocation.
• Check any due DHA amount or pending DHA dues.
• Verify the local government and property tax requirements.
• Confirm the identity of the seller and ownership.
• Verify if the property is subject to a mortgage or a dispute.
• Visit the site in person, rather than just viewing photos.
• Compare recent market transactions; do not just consider one asking price.

Follow DHA’s official transfer process to complete the transaction.

For Phase 11 Rahbar, DHA requires property tax clearance and the relevant TTIP paid receipts for the transfer.

Final

DHA Phase 11 Lahore bundles developing and developed sectors with residential plots and houses and educational and commercial facilities, including parks, in a big DHA project.

How it works: DHA Phase 11 is being developed and is managed with lots of connectivity and possession. However, it is not a mono-unicorn market. Sector I, Sector II, Sector IV and the Sector V/KEMC region have their own prices, their own development status, and their own cases for investment.

Choice and location depend on why you buy, budget, size of plot required, and how soon you want possession and where you want to be. Read the DHA map latest status, ownership, possession, dues and documents carefully before signing.
