I am novice in matters pertaining to property, and generally do not think plots are good investment unless you are going to build a house. But I must say I was impressed with Sukh Chyn development when I visited Lahore a few years back. I liked the following:
1. Gated entrance, 24 hour security and control over movement of personnel into and out of such chyn boundaries. In today’s security climate, I find this to be of immense value.
2. Two, legitimate alternate entrances. One on canal side and the other from Multan Road
3. Good land planning. Streets are not always straight edged lines, Parks are provided
4. Limited in size. It is not an endless sprawl. This I expect would foster a sense of community.
5. Burried utility lines, and general neatness and overall cleanliness
6. What appears to be to be reasonable management staff.
7. Architectural controls
What concerned me was:
1. Streets (other than main blvd) are somewhat narrow, 30 to 40 feet wide
2. While 2 kanal and 1 kanal houses are there, still too many 10 marla plots. Parking on street issues etc.
3. Wonder how crowded the neighborhood would feel after full build out
4. Much of the Mango groves will be chopped down as homes are built Wish there was a way to save more trees
5. Will the management be able to maintain what they have built. Ornate lights, fancy gates, painted walkways, imported flowers, fancy fountains, etc are good in first few years and become an eyesore if they are not repaired right away
6. Parks could have been bigger. Should have had a green belt etc |
