Al Kabir Town review: which blocks are LDA approved, prices and risks

Al Kabir Town is only partly approved, and the answer changes block by block. “Al-Kabir Town, Janjaty” is on LDA’s approved list, but in 2020 the developer itself said only Phase 2 Blocks A and B had final approval. The Phase 1 site is on LDA’s September 2025 list of master-plan violations. We found no LDA record for any “Phase 3” or “Phase 4”. A 5 marla plot averaged about Rs 73.8 lakh in asking prices in August 2026.

Is Al Kabir Town LDA approved?

Part of it. Here’s what the record shows, phase by phase:

LDA sanctioned a 239-kanal plan in Mouza Janjaty in March 2019. The letter, which the developer publishes, doesn’t name blocks. A separate 2,220 kanals got preliminary permission in December 2019.

Two warning signs about how the society was sold. Phase 2 was launched in May 2017, before LDA’s preliminary permission of November 2017, which itself said it wasn’t permission to sell plots. And in December 2019 the developer announced that “all blocks of Phase II” were approved; the LDA letter it published was a preliminary permission only, and two months later it said only Blocks A and B had final approval.

Has possession been given?

According to the developer, Phase 1 and Phase 2 Blocks A, B and C had possession by 2020, and Blocks D, E and Usman were due possession from January 2022. Downtown, whose map was revealed in October 2024, and Park Enclave are still being developed. None of this has been independently checked.

What does a plot cost now?

Zameen’s average 5 marla asking price more than doubled, from Rs 34.1 lakh in June 2021 to Rs 73.8 lakh in August 2026, up 16% in the last year. That’s a series high.

Al Kabir is a small-plot society: most plots listed for sale are 3 marla. Zameen’s 10 marla index exists but has long flat stretches, and no 10 marla plot was listed when we checked, so we don’t use it.

Gas, electricity and water

We can’t score this. The developer said gas installation was underway in Phase II in April 2021. A 2018 LDA letter asked LESCO to review the electrification design, and LDA’s 2017 permission refers to a WASA water NOC. None of these confirms supply today, and we found no SNGPL, LESCO or WASA source.

Who is behind it?

Al-Kabir Developer (Private) Limited, formerly Al-Kabir Town (Pvt) Ltd. It has delivered and populated parts of Phases 1 and 2, and two of its other schemes, Kings Town and Maryam Town, are on LDA’s approved list. Against that:

• it marketed Phase 2 before permission, and contradicted its own approval notice (2019-20)
• Pakistan Observer reported in 2026 that NAB had probed the developer in 2020; we couldn’t find the outcome
• in April 2026 Pakistan Observer reported that FBR raided its Lahore offices and seized financial records
• it keeps launching new sub-projects while older blocks still lack final approval

How easy is it to resell?

Zameen listed 305 residential plots for sale on 7 October 2026, nearly all in Phase 2 and most of them 3 marla, with 57 at 5 marla and none at 10 marla. That’s a working market for small plots, and a thin one for anything larger.

Where is it?

On Raiwind Road in south-west Lahore. Phase 2 is opposite Lake City, about 17 km by road from Thokar Niaz Baig and 29 km from the GPO. Phase 1 is about 2.5 km north-west, next to BNU’s Tarogil campus near Bahria Town. See all Lahore reviews.
