Construction in DHA Phase 8
The Air Avenue zone — luxury 1 Kanal and 2 Kanal estates with park-facing premium and aerodrome views.
About construction in DHA Phase 8
Phase 8 carries the Air Avenue branding because much of it overlooks the old Walton airfield. Plot sizes skew larger — 1 Kanal and 2 Kanal dominate — and the area is split between completed luxury estates and serviced vacant land. The buyer here is typically more mature, often an overseas investor or a returning expatriate. Our construction work here tends to be larger projects — 2 Kanal turnkey with pool, large basements, and high finishing specs. The phase also includes the Eden Avenue residential block and connects to Bedian Road and the Lahore Ring Road interchange.
