AI Summary
Valencia Town on Defence Road is LDA approved. LDA's list (17 October 2026) shows Phases I to IV, 7,322.55 kanals with Blocks A to P, approved in May 1999, and Phase V, 1,121.50 kanals, approved in August 2004. Valencia Valley, on Pine Avenue Road, is a different scheme on LDA's illegal list. A 5 marla plot averaged Rs 1.35 crore in asking prices in August 2026, about double May 2021. We found no official source on utilities or the developer.
Valencia Town on Defence Road is LDA approved: LDA’s own list (17 Oct 2026) shows Phases I to IV (7,322.55 kanals, Blocks A to P, approved 22 May 1999) and Phase V (1,121.50 kanals, approved 10 Aug 2004). Don’t confuse it with Valencia Valley on Pine Avenue Road, which is on LDA’s illegal list. A 5 marla plot averaged about Rs 1.35 crore in asking prices in August 2026.
Is Valencia Town LDA approved?
Yes. Here’s what LDA’s two lists show:
| Scheme on LDA’s lists | What LDA shows (17 Oct 2026) |
|---|---|
| Valencia Town Ph-I to IV | Approved 22 May 1999: 7,322.55 kanals in Mouza Sadoki and Dharamchund, Defence Road; 3,455 residential and 238 commercial plots; Blocks A to P |
| Valencia Town Ph-V | Approved 10 Aug 2004: 1,121.50 kanals in Sadhoki and Dharam Chand, Defence Road; 746 residential and 130 commercial plots; Blocks L-I, P-I, H-I, J-I, K-I |
| Valencia Valley | On LDA’s illegal list, location “Pine Avenue Road, Lahore” |
Two caveats. LDA’s stage field says only “Approved”, so the list doesn’t tell you whether the approval is technical or final. And LDA’s “mortgaged plots” column reads “Not Executed” for both phases.
Has possession been given?
Valencia Town is built up and lived in: Zameen listed 418 homes for sale on 17 October 2026, and its area guide shows more than 190 houses for rent. Pakistan Observer reported in May 2024 that LDA demolished illegal construction on two plots there, 277/2A and 7J. We haven’t checked development block by block.
What does a plot cost in Valencia Town?
Source: Zameen.com, as of Aug 2026
Zameen’s average 5 marla asking price roughly doubled, from Rs 66.1 lakh in May 2021 to Rs 1.35 crore in August 2026. That’s 14% up on August 2025 and the highest point in the series. Read the recent figures with care: the index sat unchanged at Rs 1.19 crore from July 2025 to April 2026, and Zameen doesn’t explain why.
Source: Zameen.com, as of Aug 2026
A 10 marla plot averaged Rs 2.64 crore in August 2026, up from Rs 1.29 crore in May 2021. It too sat flat, at Rs 2.28 crore, from June 2025 to April 2026. On top of the price, you pay withholding tax at much higher rates if you’re a non-filer; see tax on property sale.
Gas, electricity and water
We can’t score this. We found no SNGPL, LESCO or WASA source on supply in Valencia Town. Wikipedia says the society has its own water supply and filtration plants, but the claim has no citation, so we don’t rely on it.
Who is behind Valencia Town?
We couldn’t confirm it from an official source, so we don’t score the developer.
Graana’s 2022 guide says the society was launched in the 1990s with development work by PECHS (Pakistan Employees Cooperative Housing Society), funded by Mashreq Bank. What the record does show is a society approved in 1999 that is now lived in.
How easy is it to resell?
Fairly easy, judging by listings. On 17 October 2026 Zameen listed 178 plots and 418 homes for sale in Valencia, and its price index runs back to 2015. That’s a deep market for both plots and built houses, though we have no data on how long a sale takes.
Where is Valencia Town?
On Defence Road in south Lahore, beside Wapda Town Phase 1 and close to the Ring Road. It’s about 8.6 km in a straight line from Thokar Niaz Baig and 18.6 km from the GPO. Neighbours include Naz Town, Pine Avenue and NFC 1.

Which verdict
Suits: Families who want a plot or house in an established, lived-in society on Defence Road, in a block LDA lists for Phases I to V.
Avoid if: The seller says 'Valencia' but the plot is in Valencia Valley or anywhere off Pine Avenue Road outside LDA's listed blocks.
Main risks:
- 'Valencia Valley' (Pine Avenue Road) is on LDA's illegal list and its name is easy to confuse.
- LDA's list doesn't say whether Valencia's approval is technical or final.
- No independent evidence on gas, electricity or water supply.
- Zameen's index sat flat for ten months (Jul 2025 to Apr 2026), so treat recent prices with care.
