Work has started on a new commercial build in Jinnah Block, Bahria Town Lahore, with excavation now underway for the last two shop spaces in this row. Sector commercials here already carry a strong name for business viability and rental returns.
Planning covered approval of the architectural map and bespoke floor plans drawn to commercial specifications. Under club commercial regulations the site receives wider layout allowances, which permit one extra floor in the design.
Structural Layout and Floor Configuration
The building is set out as a Ground plus Two (G+2) structure, arranged to serve both retail and residential use:
- Ground Floor: a large commercial unit of 30 by 20 feet, with broad frontage and direct access from the street.
- First and Second Floors: residential apartments, each offering roughly 600 square feet of planned living area.
Dedicated parking at the front follows community standards and allows easy access for shoppers and occupants.
Frame Structure and Construction SOPs
Commercial schemes in Bahria Town do not follow the residential method of deep trenches and load-bearing brickwork; they are governed by framed structure standard operating procedures (SOPs). The engineering delivers stability, but excavation must proceed in phases.
Digging and column concreting move step by step. In the first stage, excavation and pouring run diagonally across the front and rear column positions. Once Stage 1 is secured, the second diagonal set of column points is excavated and poured. Five heavy-duty columns form the frame, tied at the base by a continuous plinth beam running across the foundation footprint.
Staircase Positioning and Access Planning
Although the plot opens on two sides, rules bar an entrance from the rear elevation. The staircase serving the upper apartments therefore sits in the open side corridor, keeping the ground-floor shop frontage clear for trade.
Projected Construction Timeline
With excavation in progress, civil work is on a tight schedule. The full grey structure — footings, columns, beams and floor slabs — is scheduled for completion within 60 to 70 days, after which finishing works begin for the retail space and the upper apartments.
Location Highlights and Investment Potential
Jinnah Block is an active commercial centre, a two-minute drive from the Grand Jamia Mosque in Bahria Town. Nearby Rafi Block and adjoining sectors show steady business activity, with many retail stores and daily service outlets already running.
With the sector commercial zone nearing full occupancy, fresh commercial units and the apartments above hold scope for consistent rental yields and capital appreciation. Ground-level commercial space paired with modern residences overhead offers balanced utility for long-term property portfolios.
