Residential and commercial plots are available for purchase in all phases, in addition to built homes and retail spaces. To ensure that DHA inhabitants have an outstanding living experience, DHA Management also prioritises the establishment of educational, healthcare, and leisure institutions.
DHA Phase I
The DHA Phase I Community is thoughtfully designed to offer inhabitants the highest possible living conditions. The residents of DHA-1 can benefit from the greatest features of both housing societies because it is internally connected to Bahria Town Phase 7 and connected to the Main GT route.
The semi-mountainous setting of DHA 1 enhances the housing society’s natural charm. The Orchard Area in DHA-1 is a quiet valley that is a haven for those who love the outdoors.
DHA Phase II
DHA phase II is made up of around 15,075 kanals and is situated between GT Road and Islamabad Highway. The finest possible convenience, security, and harmony are available to the residents thanks to the optimal location and contemporary amenities.
The DHA Islamabad’s Phase 2 is now the one with the highest commercial activity. It is the location of projects like AL Ghurair Giga Mall and educational institutions like APS and DHA Education System.
Both locals and visitors find Central Park to be interesting. It serves as a hub for many industries and is home to a variety of national and foreign eateries, a skating rink, a bird park, a swimming pool, and a walking trail.
DHA Phase III
The DHA Phase III construction project is well underway, and the infrastructure displays tasteful town design. The town plan is distinct from the other DHA Islamabad stages in that it includes a golf course.
The Master plan also includes a theme park and a lake that have already been built. According to DHA Management, 3,800 kanal of Phase III’s earthwork has been finished, while approximately 1,050 kanal of Phase III have been fully constructed.
DHA Phase IV
DHA Phase IV, which spans 4000 Kanals and is situated next to the Orchard Area in DHA Phase I and near the River Soan, also boasts a mountainous setting and provides its residents with picturesque vistas.
The building process is in motion, but the phase needs to be developed further to enable the construction of homes shortly. The project promises upscale amenities with sporting venues and green spaces.
DHA Phase V
DHA is dispersed over 7000 Kanals. Across from Phase II on the Islamabad Motorway is Phase V, which is now undergoing rapid development. The people who live in Phase V can take advantage of its commercial activity because it is close to Phase II.
A short drive would take you to places like APS, DHA Education System, Al Ghurair Giga Mall, Jacaranda Family Club, etc. from Phase V’s Main Gate 1.
Over 150 families have already moved in during this phase of construction and development, which is in full stride.
DHA Phase VI
Previously known as the DHA Phase II extension, phase VI includes DHA Valley, DHA Expressway and Overseas Sectors spread over 55,000 Kanals approximately.
‘OJRM’ of Los Angeles, California, a renowned town planning firm, created the master plan.
Phase 6 development work is moving forward steadily. The map has been made, and delivery is anticipated in due order.

DHA Valley
The proposed DHA Valley residential development is a collaboration between three renowned developers: Bahria Town, DHA Islamabad, and Habib Rafiq Pvt. Limited (HRL). The property, which is close to the Islamabad Motorway, provides upscale residential and business possibilities.
It was put into operation on August 18, 2008, and it’s close to Defence Phase II.
Commercial Zones:
There are commercial zones in each phase.
One of the priciest neighborhoods in the twin cities of Islamabad and Rawalpindi is known as DHA. After 9/11, Pakistanis living abroad began remitting sizable sums of their savings to Pakistan, which led to a boom in the country’s real estate market in the early and mid-2000s. According to figures from 2019, a typical 500-yard plot in DHA Islamabad costs between Rs20 and Rs25 million. According to a study from Pakistan’s top real estate website “Zameen” in February 2013, property sales and rentals in the Defence sector have done astonishingly well.
The ambitious concept of twin cities is reflected in DHA Islamabad-Rawalpindi, which was created to be on par with the most outstanding cities in terms of infrastructure, architecture, and urban planning. To suit your needs and lifestyles, DHA offers residential, commercial, and mixed-use built communities with a wide range of modern public amenities.
