Latest Updates
Main Ring Road Entrance Gate Installed, Enhancing Connectivity
A major milestone has been achieved with the installation of the main entrance gate on the Lahore Ring Road, providing direct access from the Kala Shah Kaku interchange and Sialkot Motorway. This development significantly cuts travel time to the city centre and airport, silencing long-standing rumors about connectivity issues. The 312-foot wide Main Boulevard links this entrance to the heart of the development, with the Saudi German Hospital site nearby. This improved accessibility is expected to positively impact property demand and values in blocks like Overseas Central, Overseas West, and Executive Center.
Price Increase Announced for Smart Villas and New Merging Policy Offers Discounts
The developer has issued a public notice that prices for Smart Villas will increase by up to 15% effective 20 April 2026, citing rising construction costs and economic conditions. Concurrently, a new merging policy was launched earlier in the year, offering substantial discounts on plot installments for payments made before 14 March 2026. This policy allows for self-merging and cross-merging of files, with a mandatory 50-50 cash/merging payment ratio, provided the file has at least 35% payment cleared. This complements an existing discount scheme for residential and commercial plots from March 2024.
Active Construction on Overseas & Executive Center and New Villa Launches
Construction is actively underway on the Overseas Central and Executive Center blocks, with machinery on site. The developer is promoting new villa options—3.5 Marla, 5 Marla, and 1 Kanal—with attractive payment plans and the possibility of early possession. A latest location map has revealed a forthcoming third-balloting area, indicating continued expansion. Videos and posts from July 2026 show ongoing development activity and promotional offers for these new villa units.
Limited Inventory of Ready Villas with Merging Options for Immediate Possession
A limited inventory of on-ground constructed villas is available, offering an immediate path to occupancy or rental income. Options include 5 Marla, 10 Marla, and 1 Kanal units in Overseas Prime, some already rented. The developer offers attractive payment structures with a 20% down payment and the option for early possession upon 50% payment. Existing members can merge their plots or files into these villa deals to secure substantial discounts, with merging amounts up to PKR 3.5 million for 5 Marla and PKR 6.5 million for 10 Marla villas.

Project developed by reputable names (Habib Rafiq Pvt. Ltd., Future Development Holdings) in collaboration with international consultant Surbana Jurong. Officially approved with NOC from Lahore Development Authority (LDA).
State-of-the-art smart infrastructure integrating technology into daily life, including smart grids, intelligent transportation systems, smart traffic management, and smart housing features with advanced IT connectivity.
Assured 24-hour supply of water, electricity, and gas to ensure a load-shedding-free and convenient living experience.
Promised and/or planned advanced facilities including world-class healthcare (telemedicine, AI diagnostics), an education district (schools, university), wide roads, theme parks, a central commercial hub, and a dedicated city app for real-time services.
Prime location on Lahore Bypass near Kala Shah Kaku, offering easy access to major highways (GT Road, M2, M11, upcoming ring road). Future dedicated interchange on Lahore Ring Road will significantly enhance connectivity.
Extensive 24/7 CCTV surveillance, dedicated guard services, boundary walls, and a promise of a dedicated city police force, ensuring a high level of safety and security for residents.
Concerns about limited property price appreciation compared to other societies, low demand, and a perceived poor long-term investment outlook. Reports of delayed infrastructure delivery and buyers finding their plots "in minus" (worth less than paid).
Relatively distant from central Lahore, leading to inconvenient daily commuting for those working or studying in the main city. Long-term accessibility is dependent on future infrastructure like the Ring Road interchange.
Extensive use of technology and surveillance raises data privacy and surveillance concerns. Bridging the digital divide among a diverse population is a challenge.
High overall cost and a perception of being overpriced, with development charges often not included in initial plot prices, making it less affordable for some.
Maintaining advanced smart infrastructure requires significant resources and constant upgrades, posing a long-term financial challenge.
The project is still in early stages with many core amenities like schools, hospitals, and commercial units currently far from residential blocks, requiring years to fully mature.
