Work has officially started on a new commercial construction project in Jinnah Block, Bahria Town Lahore, with excavation now underway for the final two commercial shop spaces in this immediate row. Sector commercials in this locality already hold a solid reputation for commercial viability and rental performance.
The planning stage finalized the architectural map and custom floor plans drawn to commercial standards. Under club commercial regulations, the site qualifies for enhanced layout provisions, which make it possible to incorporate an additional floor into the building design.
Structural layout and floor configuration
The project follows a Ground plus Two (G+2) story design, arranged to maximize utility across retail and residential applications:
- Ground floor: a spacious commercial unit measuring 30 by 20 feet, offering wide frontage and direct street access.
- First and second floors: residential apartments, each providing approximately 600 square feet of well-organized living space.
Front-facing dedicated parking is aligned with community standards, supporting convenient access for customers and building occupants.
Frame structure and construction SOPs
Commercial projects in Bahria Town do not follow the conventional residential approach of trench excavation and masonry brickwork. Instead, they adhere to strict framed structure standard operating procedures (SOPs), an engineering method that ensures structural stability but demands phased excavation.
Excavation and column pouring proceed systematically in stages. In the initial stage, work is carried out diagonally across the front and rear column points; once Stage 1 is fully secured, the second set of diagonal column points is excavated and poured. The design incorporates five heavy-duty columns, tied together at the base by a continuous plinth beam spanning the foundation footprint.
Staircase positioning and access
While the plot has two-sided openness, development regulations restrict access creation from the rear elevation. The entrance staircase leading to the upper residential floors is therefore situated along the open side corridor rather than the front shop frontage, ensuring retail operations at ground level remain completely unobstructed.
Projected timeline
With excavation currently in progress, civil works are moving forward on a tightly scheduled timeline. Completion of the full grey structure, including all foundational footings, columns, beams, and floor slabs, is scheduled within 60 to 70 days. Finishing works will then commence to prepare the commercial retail space and upper apartments for occupancy.
Location highlights and investment potential
Jinnah Block is recognized as an active and busy commercial hub, located just a two-minute drive from the Grand Jamia Mosque in Bahria Town. Neighboring areas such as Rafi Block and surrounding sectors continue to see robust business activity, with numerous retail stores and daily service outlets already fully operational.
Because the sector commercial zone has reached high occupancy, newly developed commercial units and upper residential apartments present strong potential for steady rental yields and capital appreciation. Dedicated commercial space on the ground floor combined with modern residential apartments above delivers balanced utility for long-term real estate portfolios.
