Development and possession details - personal visit,

---

Hello everyone, hope you are doing well. Every once in a while, I visit phases 6-9 to see developments and in this post I will fully detail the developments I have seen as many of you frequently ask about this. Last visit I made was before Eid and I visited again today because I was in DHA area to see a relative.

Phase 6
Dolmen Mall is building at rapid pace, expect to be completed and inaugurated at end of 2022 or 2023. A few commercials under construction in C block CCA which is already 25% built by now. Quite a few (around 10) MB commercials are being built, first one more towards the Barki road side is under construction which is infront of N block. Fairways Rayas 2 buildings are fully ready for rent, a few shops are already occupied but two other are still under construction. Shops in Fairways Raya: Meezan Bank which is open and operational, Al Fatah is shifting and looks to be ready for opening in next month, Stanza Furniture is also shifting, while there 3-4 real estate agencies have already opened offices there. K block club is still under construction, work on their hotel rooms seems slow and looking like finishing on the club facilities is left. I am not sure why they are delaying it but overall work is slow-paced and I think it will open somewhere in 2023-24, but their outdoor and indoor dining is open. D block CCA (CCA 2) is seeing 5-10 buildings under construction. L block has a small commercial which has seen 2-3 more commercial buildings built with 1 more under construction - two grocery shops are operating there, Allied Bank and Al Habib Metro Banks have outlets there too. The other major commercial development is a mall that is meant to arrive in front of N block, land has been fully cleared but awaiting for construction to start. As for residential, blocks A,B,H,J were almost full even before 2020 but now they are even closer to being 100% occupied. Lower blocks have seen heavy construction since last year and finally seeing some of those houses ready for finishing or living. All blocks are highly liveable now as commercials and shops are available too. Block D and E 2 kanal cutting have seen a lot of new construction but some land there is still unclear and non-possession.

Phase 7
Phase 7 has seen heavy, heavy construction most out of anywhere in DHA since last year. I tried counting the houses in each sector and by my estimates, there are at least 100 houses (under construction or living) in blocks R, P, S, U, T and close to 100 in Y. Blocks W, Z1, Q, X have about 50 houses while V has somewhere close to 20 due to village left to clear and lots of non-possession area. Most houses were either in blocks U or T, hard to tell. A couple of commercials in blocks Q and T. I have noticed Chak Dera village in V block has slightly reduced in size. The most amount of living residents seemed to be in blocks R, P, U and T - hard to tell but anywhere between 50-100 in these blocks and also at least 50 houses under construction in each of these blocks. As for masjids and parks, only one masjid in R block of phase 7 but I am sure there will be parks and masjids constructed in phase 7 this year or early next year so I will keep you all updated as soon as it happens.

Phase 8
CCA 1 and 2 is seeing construction of about 5 commercials and a few already operational - saw a small cafe and a business office there. Main commercial broadway is seeing similar construction of around 10 commercials but many commercials are already standing and I have seen subway food chain has opened an outlet there. Quite a few banks are there like Allied and JS banks, a home decor shop and a few other shops like estate agencies or small corporations with office. The DHA business hub which is a full building for corporate offices is already offering rent and I asked the guard there when it will be ready, he told me that a few companies are already shifting in furniture and a few of them will be fully ready to shift by september-october and will be busy by december. As for residential, W and T are seeing quite some construction as well as V and U but construction rate is less than phase 6 and far less than 7.

Phase 9 town
9 town is seeing heavy construction especially from builders and there are already so many houses and residents living. It is definitely at least 40% filled at the moment and houses are already built (with residents living) and also being built as far as the ends of blocks C and D that are very close to prism or askari 11. Quite some commercials have also been built and a couple under construction. A couple of grocery shops, one or two estate agencies there. Also on the way to 9 town, there was a patch of road that was under litigation and not constructed (just before grid station), half of that patch has been cleared and road has been built.

Phase 9 prism
Block A is essentially ready for possession. Every clear piece of land has seen db, light poles, transformer installed with underground electrical wiring done and one water tank was completed with only a bit of paint work left to be done while the other one under construction. Q block has seen all dbs and transformers installed but light poles have been installed in front portion of plot numbers 1-240 and they were still installing in other areas. Q block has also seen all electrical wiring work done and both water tanks fully constructed and ready. P has seen all dbs and transformers installed but light poles on small streets is left as 2 80 ft roads had already seen light poles installed (electrical wiring done). The zone 2 commercial is fully ready for possession as all light poles, db, transformers have been installed and all electrical wiring was done. Both P block water tanks fully completed and ready. Half of block C (lower half on map) underground electrical wiring was completed with dbs and transformers installed, water tanks under construction. All 2 kanal cutting of block D has seen complete underground electrical work, dbs, transformers installed with light poles installed in some areas and the 1 kanal cutting of plot numbers 181-606 has seen electrical work done, dbs and transformers installed but light poles left to install. Work was ongoing in 1 kanal portion directly below golf course numbering 607-1054 - looked like they had just started work as they were taking out soil to place electrical wires, some dbs were installed and being installed in the area. Both water tanks under construction in D block. Then E blocks front portion of plot number 1-250 had dbs installed and looked like underground electrical wiring work had just started. Light poles on 80 ft road were installed. Then lower portion of 616-867 was also seeing work be done for underground wiring and some dbs were installed and being installed (water tanks under construction). In sector F, G and H, no underground wiring or electrical work had started but poles were installed. In sector F, one water tank was close to completion while the other one had just started. Sector N had poles installed on 80 ft roads and dbs, transformers were installed in upper portion (close to P block). As for main ring road gate, most of the side structure is up and they are close to reaching the top part with the roof to be built/placed, paint left to be done. Realistically it is unlikely the gate will be ready by this month, so if DHA works upto good pace, it might be completed by next month (might take longer if they work slow).

Hope this has been informative. I tried to write as much as possible using as much information as I could remember. If you have any more questions I can answer them below. I will write further update posts in future whenever I find time or opportunity to visit.
