Please sir be realistic 2/ 3 years or 23 years ....Dha is struggling to deliver phase 6 and phase 7 even after 7 years from balotting...i think unless some miracle happens it will take minimum 10 years....

I agree DHA like any other institution in Pakistan is behind in its projects. Because of bad finacial situation and rise in construction prices. DHA phase 6 and 7 are so huge and even they dont have gass and water.

NO doubt that DHA phase 6 7 and 8 when completed will be very modren, clean and nice place ot live. But I think it will take atleast 10-15 years for phase 8.

You should think realisticaly, there isnt any magic wond :)

Raza bhai you missed MIN in 'It will take min 2 3 years' in my post.

CMY and other commemtators pls clarify how so much deep filling is possible technically. There are abundant 20 to 30 feet deep "Khaad" in that area at least on 2000 Kanal Land.
Even if they fill how such a soft filling will be OK for construction.

Mr. Raza, I respect your point of view, but I believe Market forces determine the price and if they have determined a higher price for phase 8 (even without possession or development thereof) there have to be solid reasons for it.
Moreover, market pundits have already highlighted the fact the prices of phase 6 will go down if and when possession in phase 7 is announced.

DHA replied on Thursday, December 9, 2010 12:09 PM 

I support Mr. Raza's analysis. Phase 6 Townplanning is much better than phase 8 and will always remain the Queen of DHA phases. Also had the opportunity to play at the Defence Raya Golf course in phase 7 recently and I must say it's an excellently designed golf course and the whole development and the club will remain a hub of activities in the future.

As for pits in phase 8. It's wrong to think that the only pit that exists is at the site of Park. It's true that the big park has been planned on the site of a huge pit but most of phase 8 area has been dug out one way or another. If you take the level of the commercial broadway to be the standard road level of phase 8, more than 70% of the land of phase 8 is WELL BELOW that mark, unlike phase 6 and 7. The area used to be feeding ground for the brick kilns that used to supply bricks to Lahore. Whether having deep plots is an issue for construction is debatable. The biggest concern is when you have constructed your house by bringing it to road level and then their is a heavy rain, the plots around your house will remain inundated in water for a very long time since that area will be well below the ground level.

I don't know the price in park view but it is great only problem is litigation area and not that great town planning but the areas where possession is available is still very good area one of the best in DHA

Dear Mr. Phase - 8
If i have 6.5 - 7m, i would surely prefer DHA Parkview (clean plot)over DHA Phase 6.

I spent about 6 to 7 Hours physically surveying the area and made a topographic Map, I was about to buy a plot in U Block that proved to be level area but measuring the depths of other Blocks, I estimated that DHA 8 cant be developed, You cant level Kilo meters of area and neither people can make 2 to 3 Level basements. I was getting that plot at very attractive rate but dropped the idea, and decided that I shall not regret rather enjoy to see if against my estimates DHA Could Develop that land, but I shall not throw my money into a pit. I know such a pit is in paragon and till date nothing could be don.
Similarly in phase 5 L Block DHA did not level the plots but depth was only 6,7 feet. 10,12 feet Pits are found in johar Town as well in spite to laying on 200 Feet road there is no population yet even after many years.
If DHA can convert all phase 8 into a nice living community, I am sure in same amount of Civil work and Labor a middle size dam can be made.
Pls note about 1/2 on land is either level or slightly deep, serious problem is about in 1/3 of land.

From the comments about Phase-8, I understand that the whole phase is low lying area? What's about Block S? I am not in Lahore and have never visited DHA area. I had applied for the plot and I'm paying the installments. Your comments will be great help.

If You tell approx Location I can tell you level

Khan replied on Friday, December 10, 2010 05:34 PM 

Jameel Sahib: It is 604 in Block S of Phase-8. I am thankful for your kind help.

Jameel replied on Saturday, December 11, 2010 06:07 AM

Khan replied on Sunday, December 12, 2010 11:01 PM
