Apartments have always been a good investment. However, over the past few years, the popularity of apartment projects in Pakistan has seen a dramatic rise. In a country where people once preferred living in independent, detached houses, more families are now opting to live in high and mid-rise buildings. Owing to the shift in real estate trend from plots to high-rises<\/a>, builders and developers had to turn their attention upwards and focus on vertical developments to meet the growing need for housing units in populated areas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The user data compiled on Zameen.com<\/a> between 2018 and 2020 shows an increase in the demand for apartments across Pakistan. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the Islamabad Capital Territory, the demand for apartments among prospective buyers grew from 15% to 17% during the last two years. The searches for apartments in Punjab also increased from 15% to 17% between 2018 and 2020. In Sindh, the popularity of apartments rose from 23% to 25% during this time, while the demand for apartments in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa increased from 17% to 19%. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is also important to mention that the demand for plots saw a decrease over the last two years while the popularity of houses also saw a small hike.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The main reason for the popularity of apartment projects in Pakistan can be attributed to rapid urbanisation. With more people moving to big cities in search of better education and employment opportunities, the need for housing in urban centres saw a massive increase. In addition to that, the scarcity of land in major cities resulted in a price hike, which in turn prompted investors to buy apartments instead of plots. Since the government has also imposed restrictions on the horizontal expansion of certain cities in order to prevent urban sprawl, the need for more vertical developments in Pakistan has continued to strengthen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is also important to mention that apartment living is particularly popular among millennials<\/a>. This is because these residential units are easy to maintain, relatively less expensive than traditional houses, and generally more secure, making them a perfect place to live for mid-career professionals and families with young children.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
