Reckon, Lahore City has so many nice large and small housing projects. The main difference between this and DHA is that they're selling completed houses in fully planned communities, like Bahria. These are the sore of projects you find in Canada.

Although I like Karachi very very much, Unfortunately Karachi doesn't have any projects like this. For one thing Karachi is a desert. Secondly, there's no water or electricity for new housing schemes. And most of the outer areas of Karachi are made up of illegally occupied land on which the land mafias have built slums.

The Lahore Development Authority (LDA) has planned to establish a Central Business District (CBD) or "Financial Centre" in the city comprising Jail Road, Main Boulevard, Walton Area, M. M. Alam Road, along Ferozpur Road, segment of Hali Road and Sharae Noor Jehan, Main Offices in and around Gulberg for creating more investment, business and employment opportunities in the central new Lahore city.

^^^^^^^ yaara don't take offense but what it have to do with the lahore moving into elite league as thread title says?????????

It means Lahore has massively developed, it means it has gone to a World Class City, labelled the title of a Global City, where all types of modern and technologically advanced facilities available and everyone is welcomed from all faiths and ethinicity. It is a peaceful city.

It also means that it one of those unique cities in world similar to Jerusalem only, which has a long preserved history and where relegious battles has been fought over the City hold. Lahore is one city I would class the term of HOLY CITY fullfills just like Jerusalem and many other cities of world. It has been ruled by the tigers of Muslim men(mostly), Hindu men, Sikh men , Christian men etc etc. So that is why it is an elite city with a tremendous history and also gives modern touches through day to day living.

Lahore bar gives Pakistanis breath of fresh air
With its velvety sofas and soft lighting, Pakistan's first bar looks and feels like it could be in any western city, with prices to match.
The Oxygen Bar, in a suburb of Pakistan's cultural capital, Lahore, is the first public bar since alcohol was banned in 1977, in a country where most socialising is done behind closed doors and where alcohol is - legally at least - unavailable.

For £4.50 a hit, well-heeled Pakistanis insert a neon cannula up their nostrils, hit the button and stretch back for a 10-minute oxygen rush, in aromas ranging from cinnamon to spearmint.

"It's like a natural high," said Irfan Khan, 31, a biomedical engineer turned lounge-lizard entrepreneur. "You feel refreshed because your cell reactions are faster, and the free radicals are taken care of."
But for Mr Khan, the bar represents Pakistan's less publicised but equally valid urbane, sophisticated side. Down the street stands a new BMW dealership, a McDonald's and several trendy clothes boutiques.

Elsewhere male beauty parlours have sprung up offering pedicures, manicures and facial massages.

I understand it's some where near Chen One.
Perhaps some guy from the city can shed more light on the location.

The MCB headquarter building in Lahore is a seminal work of architecture. The design of this building faithfully follows the simple design premise developed for the Project. The design concept deals with notions of implied imagery and iconography, transparency, the framing of views to and from the building, orientation with regard to the sun and aptly responding to the site's context.
