Sahafi Colony Phase-II Housing Scheme Officially Launched with MOU Signed Between Punjab Information Department and RUDA

The Punjab Information Department and the Ravi Urban Development Authority (RUDA) have formally signed a memorandum of understanding to advance Phase-II of the Sahafi (Journalists') Colony in Lahore. The master plan for 3,200 five-marla plots has been approved by Punjab Information Minister Azma Bokhari, and an initial payment of Rs 400 million has been made to RUDA, bringing land acquisition to near-completion. Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz is scheduled to distribute allotment letters in February, and the colony will include schools, wide roads, parks, and commercial areas — aiming to deliver affordable housing to journalists within three to five years.

Ongoing Private Plot Sales and Marketing Activity in Sahafi Colony Despite Official Phase-II Rollout

Parallel to the government-led Phase-II initiative, private sellers continue actively advertising individual plots in Sahafi Colony on social media platforms. Listings include F Block locations in Harbanspura and New Lahore City Phase 2 AA Block, with prices quoted at PKR 35 lakh per plot, all dues cleared, and immediate possession claimed. These advertisements reflect market speculation and informal trading ahead of formal development completion.

Investment analysis
Investors
Investors seeking moderate returns with some risk tolerance, including local middle-class buyers and overseas Pakistanis looking for a foothold in Lahore's established residential market.

Holding period
5–10 years
Tips
Focus on LDA-approved, physically developed plots with clear titles. Avoid 'file' investments and overly aggressive installment plans. Always verify the developer's delivery history and legal clearances to mitigate risks of delays or disputes.
Investment Risks
Primary risks include potential delays in development or possession, legal disputes over land titles, macroeconomic fluctuations affecting demand, and traffic congestion impacting the area's appeal. Investments in unapproved or poorly managed projects have historically led to significant losses.
