Located on the western bank of Bara River, near Khyber Pass, Peshawar is the provincial capital of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. It serves as a corridor between Central Asia and Afghanistan. Over the past few years, Peshawar has experienced many developmental changes in terms of infrastructure and security. The improved security condition of the city has not only proved beneficial for the trade and business sectors but also revived the real estate of Peshawar. Previously, the city’s realty sector was not considered a lucrative investment option. That is not the case anymore.
Many residential and commercial schemes have emerged in the city in recent years. DHA Defence Peshawar is among the most sought-after localities of the city that has gathered the attention of investors and buyers from across the country.
DHA Peshawar has been planned as an urban community on a huge area of approximately 2000 kanal. The project comprises two phases i.e. Phase 1 and Phase 2. As of December 2018, the development work is going on in Phase 1. The work in Blocks A, B and C is almost complete. It is a huge scheme that offers commercial as well as residential plot files of sizes ranging from 5 marla to 2 kanal. However, the most popular categories of plot files include 5 marla, 10 marla, and 1 kanal plots.
As Defence Housing Authority Peshawar is in its development phase, the allocation and division of commercial plots is not yet known. Meanwhile, numerous residential plot files are available at substantial rates. It is observed that the price of 5 marla plot file is higher than that of 10 marla due to the former’s popularity over the latter type. The 5 marla plot file in DHA Peshawar can be purchased at PKR 12.5 lakh to PKR 30 lakh, whereas a 10 marla plot file can cost between PKR 10 lakh to PKR 40 lakh. Similarly, plot files of 1 kanal are also available for sale in DHA Peshawar, ranging between PKR 35 lakh and PKR 80 lakh.
DHA Defence makes easy access to education a top priority as it is a vital part of communal living. It has incorporated an Education City within its premises where top-notch schools, colleges, and universities will be established. The community will also establish HEC recognized public libraries to revive reading culture. In order to tackle the health-related issues, DHA Defence Peshawar will establish emergency medical and surgical centres in the locality so that the residents don’t have to rush to the main city in case of an emergency.
DHA Peshawar is a first-of-its-kind gated community in the entire province of KPK, offering a luxury living to its residents. The wide and well-paved roads will be lit by solar electric street lights. In order to provide a pollution-free hygienic environment to the residents, the community has developed modern sewerage management, waste recycling, and disposal systems. DHA has established its own grid stations to avoid any power breakdowns. Graveyards and mosques are also present in the society’s premises. Recreational areas and parks are provided in the community where children can play. One can sit back and enjoy movies at cinemas, equipped with the latest audio technology and comfortable seating arrangement. A 1200-ft-tall security wall is constructed around the community to provide a safer environment for residents. Moreover, private security guards and CCTV cameras are monitoring the area 24/7.
Separate commercial areas will also be a part of this well-planned community from where the residents can buy all kinds of products. Famous shops and malls like Miniso, Liberty Mall, Madina Market etc. are located on a short distance from DHA Defence. As far as restaurants are concerned, one can find a lot of options located just 15 to 25 minutes’ drive away from DHA such as Jan’s Deli, Café Crunch UT, China Terrace JB Towers, Khyber Afghan Restaurant and a lot more.
Although it is a well-defined, secure and highly profitable society, the plot rates are still comparatively lower than that of the similar neighbourhoods like Askari-6, making it an ideal location for investment. Defence Housing Authority is a trusted name in Pakistan’s realty sector that has almost always guaranteed, and delivered, a high ROI to investors and buyers. Similar is the case with DHA Peshawar. The rising level of interest among local residents, as well as people from other cities, is proof that prices of plots in DHA Defence Peshawar will most probably experience a hike once the society is fully developed.
