Infrastructure Upgrades and Smart City Initiative Launched in Gulshan-e-Shalimar Housing Scheme

Municipal authorities commenced a major road reconstruction project on the main access routes of Gulshan-e-Shalimar Housing Scheme in early March 2026, focusing on improved drainage and street paving around the Shalimar Gardens area. Concurrently, scheme management announced a phased rollout of smart-living amenities — including centralized CCTV, automated utility billing, and high-speed fiber broadband — scheduled to begin later in 2026. These developments aim to enhance livability and attract investors amid a modest rise in property prices across Lahore’s peripheral housing schemes.

Ongoing Real Estate Activity with Multiple Property Listings in Gulshan-e-Shalimar

Multiple property listings for residential units in Gulshan-e-Shalimar Housing Scheme have been actively published across YouTube and real estate channels since May 2026, featuring 2–2.75 Marla double-story houses with demands ranging from PKR 65 lakh to PKR 120 lakh. Listings highlight availability of core utilities (gas, water, electricity), proximity to Ring Road, and registry/inteqal readiness — indicating sustained buyer interest and active secondary market liquidity.

LDA Approval Confirmed with Historical Context and Regulatory Standing

Gulshan-i-Shalimar Housing Scheme is officially LDA-approved, with its formal approval date recorded as 30 April 1983 and located in Baghbanpura. It covers an area of 177.50 Kanals and was developed by an unknown private developer. Its long-standing regulatory compliance distinguishes it from unapproved or illegal schemes flagged by authorities like RDA and LDA in recent enforcement drives.
