Construction in DHA Phase 5
The face of DHA Lahore — luxury 1 Kanal and 2 Kanal homes, Sector L commercial, Broadway nightlife.
About construction in DHA Phase 5
Phase 5 is what people picture when they think of DHA Lahore. Sectors A through L are all developed, and the phase is dense with high-end 1 Kanal and 2 Kanal homes. New construction is rare because almost every plot is built — what we mostly do here is full reconstruction and high-spec turnkey finishes. Phase 5 commands the highest grey-structure rates in DHA Lahore (PKR 2,800–3,200/sqft in 2026) because of demanding clients, higher specs on every fixture, and tighter site logistics. The proximity to Sector L commercial, Broadway, and Lahore Ring Road makes it a desirable destination for owners moving up from older phases.

- Premium end of DHA Lahore — top-tier turnkey finishes are standard
- Tight site logistics: smaller staging area, careful crane scheduling
- Higher per-sqft rates than other phases (premium materials + spec)
