The authority has also said that the society will be liveable by 2016, which means possession of properties may be announced soon, especially that of Sector III.<\/p>\n<p>According to an estate agent who requested anonymity, roads and sewage systems are complete in the sector and it is ready for possession. He added that development work is underway in other sectors as well and the main road has been completed up to Sector XIII.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What about DHA City Lahore?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>DHA City Lahore\u2019s status, on the other hand, is currently unclear as there is no development in the locality and no impressive sale-purchase activity either. Even the prices of 10-marla and 1-kanal plot files are in the minus these days, which means they are being traded at a loss compared to their booking values. Only the 5-marla category is proving to be profitable at the moment.<\/p>\n<p>If DHA undertakes development work in DHA City Lahore, the locality can be on par with DHA City Karachi.Karachi\u2019s project is undoubtedly an investment haven worth considering and investors would certainly like to see DHA City Lahore flourishing in the same manner.<\/p>\n<p>Please share your views in the comments section below.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>DHA City Karachi is Pakistan\u2019s first sustainable housing community.
