Dha Phase 8 - Best Town Planning,

(99010)

1. Unique Town Planning. Its done on cul-de-sac concept, although no closed alleys but distinctively only 2-3 entry/exit points in residential blocks.

And that you'd know help create a very secure living environment as the access can easily be monitored and controlled, if need be.

2. Main commercial areas are reasonably separated from main residential. So no trespassing traffic within residential area. I dont know what that would mean to you but for me it means peace of mind.

4. Look for the number of parks in each block I think they are more than any other phase per number of plots. Not to mention the 144 kanal Broadway park.

So if u r considering it for house building, am sure DHA Phase 8 has the highest potential for a heathy and family friendly neighborhood.

Now have a look at any other DHA phases or even Bahria Town, you won't find such a town planning, streets are exposed from all sides and anyone can go thru inside short cut streets to avoid traffic. This will be very unlikely to happen in phase 8. I think Bahria offers this kind of town planning in Bahria Homes blocks only.

So that's the stand out merit.
In addition u know its next to ring road. Try measuring distance from ph 8 to any place in Lahore, u would love its accessibility. When the southern loop gets going, it will become even better.
Now for the monetary part u see it competing with phase even without possession so u can take a guess at Prices in a year's time when possession is granted.

I dont know if it is still the case but i think CMY sb once mentioned that the highest holding by army personnel is in Phase 8. So there must be something that the insiders are holding on to it.


Residential blocks are open from all sides. Now some would see as a good factor for easier access but to me thats annoying when traffic could come from anywhere.

DHA phase-8 is best out of all phases due to its ideal location and access, thats why price of undeveloped plots is almost same as developed phases. Plots and blocks near to ring road has potential to break psychological barrier of 4 crore for one kanal and would become the most expensive neighborhood of lahore in coming years.

Hello MBS..

1): I have double checked Phase 8 map, it is not Cal-De-Sac design or any different than DHA 6 , 7 or 5...Please check again.
DHA 8 follows the same pattern and design like DHA 6,7.
I would say, more entry exit points means more convenient to move anywhere... A main entry barrier on each phase on major entrances is just enough for security (e.g in Bahria town).

2): The main commercial areas are always separated, Plz check DHA 6 and 7... they also have separate commercial areas. And you cannt totally cut it off from residential.

3): I cant figure out if DHA 8 has more parks than DHA 6 , 7 etc .. Please give us your count.... Although i can see that DHA 8 has more graveyards than any other phase of DHA ... The biggest graveyard is 161 Kanal in V block.


The points you have mentioned are really not selling points and trust me it is not Unique town planning than 6 or 7 and 9.
The only plus point is it is near to air port and mall road and easily approachable... I am writing my viwes candidly (although i have investment in DHA 8).

Asif, look again :)

How many entry/exit points do you find in any of the Phase 8 proper blocks?
2-4

And like i said its done on cul-de-sac concept but not with closed streets. To make it easy for you to understand, there's a strip of 2 or 1 Kanal plots all around each block. They will serve as a soft boundary of each block. Do you see it in 6 or 7 plan?

The point that you like more entry/exit points is just fine, i said so that other phases are open from all sides and some people would like them better. But i don't... coz that also means more trespassing traffic and lesser security.
