PHA D-Type Apartments in Shabbir Town, Lahore: Final Construction Phase and Registration Reopened for 2,200 Units
The Punjab Housing Authority’s D-type apartment project in Shabbir Town, Lahore has reached 90% construction completion and entered its final phase. Online registration for the remaining 2,200 units was reopened in early 2026. Unit prices are set at approximately PKR 7,500 per square yard for 1,200-sq-yd flats, with handover of the first blocks scheduled for Q4 2026, following a temporary pause earlier in the year due to a court-ordered eligibility list review.
Basic utilities (gas, water, and electricity connections) are available and already connected.
Typical flat is a 2-bedroom, 1-bathroom unit. Appreciated for the corner-unit layout. On-site car parking is available.
Located on Raiwind Road with proximity to the University of Lahore, the Punjab University Employees Housing Scheme, and an expected metro extension. Easy access to a local grocery/food shop.
It is a gated, walled, neatly kept, and clean neighborhood. The streets are quiet, and it offers a secure and safe environment, suitable for families, bachelors, or small offices.
The rent is affordable and often negotiable, making it a budget-friendly option.
The D-Type apartments are not considered a family-oriented community, with many units rented out by students.
Residents report occasional water-supply and power-outage issues.
Apartments are modest in size (approx. 750 sq ft / 3 Marla) with limited amenities compared to newer private developments.
Rental yields are considered too low for investment purposes. Long-term appreciation is uncertain, making it less attractive to investors compared to nearby B-Type units or other schemes like Wafaqi Qalooni in Johar Town.
Apartment living is perceived as offering less privacy compared to horizontal housing (houses). Adolescents, in particular, find vertical living less private due to shared spaces, proximity, and a feeling of crowdedness.
