A monstrous commercial building close to Liberty Market
I was recently in Lahore and I couldn’t help but notice the immense amount of commercial construction happening in the city. Just driving down the Gulberg Main Boulevard one can see numerous high rises being built. This process has been going on for the last many years and does not appear to be slowing down despite the global economic meltdown. I took just a few pictures from the window of a fast moving car, but I think you’ll get the point.
Exciting construction projects happening in Lahore right now include:
- The Ring Road
- Hyatt Hotel close to the Airport
- PITB’s Software Park Tower
- PACE Tower close to Sherpao Bridge (K Block)
- Sheikh Zayed Complex on Ferozpur Road
- Mughalpura Flyover (On the Canal)
- Numerous high rises on the Boulevard and M.M. Alam Road.

It’s good to see all the development and construction going on in Lahore. Unlike Islamabad, Lahore is moving towards modernization and provision of better facilities to Lahories at a fast rate. Throughout my 9 year stay in Lahore, I have seen the city improve a lot.

Unlike Islamabad? My recent visit to Islamabad was an eye opener… the new underpass is now complete, road widening is happening all over the city, more new roads have popped up there in the last 12 months than at any point in the last 2 or 3 decades. The Centaurus is being built, slowly but surely… I wish they would speed it up, but I suppose in the current global economic climate all such high end real estate development has been slowed down some what. Still, it’s moving in the right direction.
