The Defense Housing Authority (DHA) Lahore has officially launched a 4-year installment plan for Phase 10, marking a significant shift in its sales strategy to attract middle-income buyers. The plan covers residential plots from 5 Marla to 1 Kanal and commercial shops from 4 to 8 Marla. Expected prices range from approximately PKR 45 lakh for a 5 Marla residential plot to PKR 4.3 crore for an 8 Marla commercial plot. The booking process began in December 2025, with balloting scheduled for February 2026. This move is seen as a major development to improve accessibility to DHA properties.

The market for DHA Phase 10 files has shown significant strength and price appreciation following Eid-ul-Adha 2026. Investor activity has increased, leading to reduced file availability and higher prices. Current rates for affidavit files are approximately PKR 31.5-31.75 lakh for 5 Marla, PKR 56 lakh for 10 Marla, and around PKR 1 crore for 1 Kanal. Commercial files have also seen a notable rise. Market sentiment is positive, driven by factors like overseas Pakistani investment, migration of capital from other cities, and reduced FBR transaction taxes, creating favorable conditions for investors.

Market analysis presents DHA Phase 10 as both a potential short-term opportunity and a solid long-term investment. File prices had stabilized in late 2025, offering an attractive entry point. The phase's strategic location near Phase 9 Prism, Ferozepur Road, and Bedian Road is a key growth driver. Experts highlight that Phase 10 files, unlike Phase 7 'add-on' files, offer a better chance for prime location allotment and higher long-term ROI. The market is considered stable with controlled supply, and major development announcements regarding balloting and infrastructure were anticipated within 6 months as of late 2025.

As of early 2026, there is no official confirmation from DHA authorities regarding the launch of the Phase 10 installment plan, form availability, or bank confirmations. The primary tradeable asset in the market remains cash files, which hold priority in balloting due to full upfront payment. Investors are advised to wait for official announcements while monitoring the active cash file market, which shows stable pricing for categories like 5 Marla allocation files.

Construction on the Bahria Sky 2 development, often referenced as 'Sky Land', is reported to be on schedule. A key milestone was achieved in early June 2026 with the successful pouring of the ground floor slab. The developer, OZ Developers, highlighted this progress as a sign of the project moving forward as planned towards completion.
