A buyer should first understand the location, legal status, delivery progress, pricing, and risks of Etihad Town Phase 2 before deciding whether to pursue a plot there. Etihad Town Phase 2 has become one of the most talked about South Lahore housing developments, and buyer interest has seen changing levels in its early phases. Recent infrastructure progress, especially the movement on Pine Avenue, has brought new attention back to the project. This review looks at the area’s position, legal status, development progress, pricing, and the main benefits and drawbacks that a buyer should consider.
The formal booking for Etihad Town Phase 2 began in November 2022. Based on the developer’s earlier Lahore schemes, investor demand was first strong. Balloting happened in 2023 and assigned specific plot numbers to file holders. Within about two years of launch, possession was given in Blocks A, B, C, and D, where early residential construction began. Later, possession was added to Blocks F, G, and H. The roughly four-year span from first booking to phased possession is a faster pace than many delays in the wider market.
Located along Jia Bagga Road, Etihad Town Phase 2 is placed between Raiwind Road and Ferozepur Road and near established projects such as Lake City and LDA City. In early stages, the lack of direct and easy approach roads made access hard, so travellers had to use detours through nearby rural roads or unfinished parts of LDA City.
The main reason for better access was Pine Avenue, once called Neelam Road. Pine Avenue is planned as a 150-foot-wide arterial road across South Lahore. It connects Lake City through Jia Bagga Road past Etihad Town Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4, then goes on to Ferozepur Road. The Lahore-Sahiwal Motorway link also passes directly through Phase 2, giving the society four possible entry and exit points.
Once Pine Avenue is fully working, the Halloki interchange is about 2 to 3 kilometres away, Ferozepur Road is around 4 to 5 kilometres away, Thokar Niaz Baig is about 20 kilometres away, and Kalma Chowk is around 30 kilometres away. This may suit people working or travelling in South Lahore, though travel to northern Lahore remains long.
Legal approval clarity is essential for any property purchase. On December 7, 2023, the Lahore Development Authority (LDA) issued an official letter about Etihad Town Phase 2, giving technical approval for a revised layout plan of about 2,478 kanals and 10 marlas in Mouza Jhedu, Tehsil Model Town, District Lahore.
Buyers should tell technical approval apart from final layout approval. Technical approval means the authority reviewed and approved the layout plan and town planning design. Final approval, however, depends on meeting specific regulatory requirements in the official notice. These include paying required sanction fees, clearing ownership transfer charges, submitting mortgage and transfer deeds, getting NOCs from provincial bodies such as the Environmental Protection Agency, and sending detailed utility design plans.
Prospective buyers were advised to check updated documents directly with official channels and to confirm that the target plot number is inside the approved sector map.
On inspection, substantial infrastructure work was seen in delivered sectors. The society has paved and carpeted roads, with a central boulevard about 100 feet wide and internal residential streets designed between 30 and 40 feet wide, along with the 150-foot Pine Avenue corridor. A notable design point is the underground electrical distribution network, which removes unsightly overhead cables and poles to give an uncluttered streetscape.
The master plan has planned family parks, an on-site cricket stadium, a central mosque, and space reserved for future educational and healthcare institutions. Block E was changed and absorbed into the nearby Overseas and Executive Blocks beside Pine Avenue.
The residential part offers many plot sizes, including 3, 5, 7, 8, and 10 Marla plots, plus 1 Kanal plots across several sectors. Commercial plots include 4 Marla, 5.33 Marla, and 8 Marla plots along important commercial strips, especially those facing Pine Avenue and the Motorway link road.
Prices differ a lot by block, distance from main roads, and possession status. In possession-ready areas such as Blocks A, B, and C, 5 Marla residential plots generally sold between 70 and 80 Lakh PKR, 10 Marla plots between 1 Crore 20 Lakh and 1 Crore 30 Lakh PKR, and 1 Kanal plots around 2 Crore 20 Lakh PKR.
In the Overseas and Executive Blocks facing Pine Avenue, higher commercial value and visibility push prices up. There, 5 Marla plots were around 80 to 90 Lakh PKR, while 10 Marla plots were about 1.5 Crore PKR. Newly possessed sectors such as Blocks F, G, and H had 5 Marla plots averaging around 75 Lakh PKR, often with an extra market premium known as own.
Commercial property along the Motorway link road needs large capital. A 4 Marla commercial plot had an asking base near 1 Crore 60 Lakh PKR with a 10 to 20 Lakh PKR premium, while 5.33 Marla plots were around 2 Crore 20 Lakh PKR with an estimated 30 Lakh PKR premium. Prime commercial plots facing the 150-foot Pine Avenue corridor were around 6 to 8 Crore PKR.
The advantages include the strategic road network, with the 150-foot Pine Avenue and Motorway link road giving strong regional connectivity in South Lahore. There are four separate entry points, which can reduce bottlenecks and help community movement. Modern infrastructure, including underground wiring, wide roads, planned recreation, and sports facilities, makes the setting attractive. Phased possession, with Blocks A through D and then F, G, and H delivered, showed active ground execution.
Yet concerns remain. The market has been investor-led rather than resident-end-user led, which can cause fast price growth through market premiums. If market sentiment cools, secondary market liquidity may tighten.
Access is still incomplete and evening security is questioned. Until Pine Avenue works fully end to end, routes still use rural link roads. Travellers have reported poor street lighting on these access routes at night, raising safety worries.
The project borders Jhedu village, which brings ongoing issues around perimeter management, waste disposal, and security. The living environment is still maturing. Very few families live on site, and schools, clinics, and grocery shops are not yet operating inside.
Buyer feedback mentions delays in allotment documents, weak mobile signal, no public transport links, and disputes over development charges. Early hopes for about 1 Lakh PKR per Marla in development levies changed, and revised demands reached higher figures. Market estimates put realistic comprehensive development costs at 3 to 4 Lakh PKR per Marla.
Etihad Town Phase 2 is a well-planned project with major potential tied to Pine Avenue’s transformation. End users wanting immediate construction may prefer Blocks A, B, C, and D for quick utility, while other blocks may need more development before becoming lively neighbourhoods. Investors and buyers must do due diligence by checking final LDA approval status directly, confirming plot placement on approved drawings, and getting written clarification on all pending development charges before completing transactions.
