Compiled for https://dhabahawalpur.pk. Our field assessment of Etihad Town Phase 2 in Lahore reflects the project’s evolution since its November 2022 booking launch.
The booking period began in November 2022, and balloting was conducted in 2023, allocating specific plot numbers to file holders. Within roughly two years of launch, possession was handed over in Blocks A, B, C and D, where early residential construction started. Subsequent possession was extended to Blocks F, G and H, completing a four‑year cycle from initial booking to phased delivery.
Located along Jia Bagga Road, the society sits between Raiwind Road and Ferozepur Road, neighbouring established projects such as Lake City and LDA City. Early access was limited, requiring travel on rural link roads or unfinished sections of LDA City. The 150‑foot‑wide Pine Avenue, previously called Neelam Road, now serves as the main arterial route, linking Lake City through Phases 2 to 4 and onward to Ferozepur Road. The Lahore‑Sahiwal Motorway also passes through Phase 2, providing four distinct entry and exit gateways. Travel distances once Pine Avenue is complete are about two to three kilometres to the Halloki interchange, four to five kilometres to Ferozepur Road, roughly twenty kilometres to Thokar Niaz Baig, and approximately thirty kilometres to Kalma Chowk.
On December 7, 2023, the Lahore Development Authority issued a technical approval letter for a revised layout covering approximately 2,478 kanals and 10 marlas in Mouza Jhedu, Tehsil Model Town, District Lahore. Technical approval confirms that the authority has reviewed and sanctioned the layout blueprint and town planning design, but final approval remains conditional on depositing mandated sanction fees, clearing ownership transfer charges, submitting mortgage and transfer deeds, obtaining No Objection Certificates from provincial bodies such as the Environmental Protection Agency, and providing detailed utility design blueprints. Buyers should verify the final approval status directly with the LDA and ensure any target plot number appears on the formally approved sector map.
On‑ground inspection shows fully paved, carpeted road networks, with a central boulevard measuring 100 feet in width and internal residential streets ranging from 30 to 40 feet, anchored by the 150‑foot Pine Avenue corridor. An underground electrical distribution system eliminates overhead cables, creating a cleaner streetscape. The master plan includes planned family parks, an on‑site cricket stadium, a dedicated central mosque, and reserved spaces for future educational and healthcare institutions. Block E has been merged into the surrounding Overseas and Executive Blocks that flank Pine Avenue.
Residential inventory offers plot sizes of 3, 5, 7, 8 and 10 Marla, as well as 1 Kanal holdings distributed across multiple sectors. Commercial inventory comprises plots of 4 Marla, 5.33 Marla and 8 Marla situated along key commercial strips, notably fronting Pine Avenue and the Motorway link road.
Price variations depend on block, proximity to main arteries and possession status. In possession‑ready zones such as Blocks A, B and C, 5 Marla plots trade between 70 and 80 Lakh PKR, 10 Marla plots range from 1 Crore 20 Lakh to 1 Crore 30 Lakh PKR, and 1 Kanal plots stand around 2 Crore 20 Lakh PKR. In Overseas and Executive Blocks fronting Pine Avenue, 5 Marla plots command 80 to 90 Lakh PKR, while 10 Marla inventory trades near 1.5 Crore PKR. Newly possessed sectors like Blocks F, G and H show 5 Marla plots averaging about 75 Lakh PKR, often accompanied by a market premium. Commercial plots along the Motorway link road have a base near 1 Crore 60 Lakh PKR with a 10 to 20 Lakh PKR premium, and 5.33 Marla plots stand around 2 Crore 20 Lakh PKR with an estimated 30 Lakh PKR premium. Prime commercial holdings directly facing the 150‑foot Pine Avenue corridor command between 6 and 8 Crore PKR.
Advantages of the project include a strategic road network with the 150‑foot Pine Avenue and Motorway link providing strong regional connectivity, multiple access points that reduce bottlenecks, modern infrastructure featuring underground wiring, wide roadways, planned parks and sports facilities, and phased possession demonstrating active execution.
Drawbacks and risks noted by observers include an investor‑dominated market that drives price inflation and may limit liquidity if market sentiment shifts, incomplete direct access and limited evening security due to a lack of street lighting on rural approach roads, adjoining Jhedu village presenting challenges with perimeter management, waste disposal and security, an immature living environment with few families and limited internal amenities such as schools, clinics and retail stores, and buyer grievances concerning delays in documentation, weak mobile signals, absence of public transport and disputes over development charges, which have risen from an original estimate of 1 Lakh PKR per Marla to market estimates of 3 to 4 Lakh PKR per Marla.
In conclusion, Etihad Town Phase 2 presents a well‑planned development with considerable potential anchored by the transformation of Pine Avenue. End‑users seeking immediate home construction may find established blocks A through D suitable, while remaining blocks may require additional time before becoming fully vibrant neighbourhoods. Investors and homebuyers are advised to verify final LDA approval, confirm exact plot placement on approved drawings, and obtain written clarification on all pending development charges before finalising any transaction.
