Why DHA 9 Islamabad
DHA Phase 9 — widely known as DHA Gandhara — is the newest and, by land area, the largest housing project the Defence Housing Authority has launched across Islamabad and Rawalpindi. It sits directly off the Lahore–Islamabad M-2 Motorway, with direct access from the Main M2 Motorway Interchange, bordering Capital Smart City and Faisal Town Phase 2.
The scheme is a joint development between the Army Welfare Trust (AWT) — the real-estate arm of Pakistan's Armed Forces, supervised by DHA — and Habib Rafique (Pvt) Ltd (HRL), the developer behind Capital Smart City. The master plan itself was drawn up by Surbana Jurong, the Singapore-based planning firm with the same Capital Smart City layout in its portfolio.
For buyers, that combination — DHA's approval process, a proven development partner, and an internationally recognised planning firm — is what separates DHA Gandhara from the dozens of unapproved societies competing for the same stretch of motorway.

Frequently Asked Questions
DHA Gandhara sits directly beside the Lahore–Islamabad M-2 Motorway, with direct access from the Main M2 Motorway Interchange, bordering Capital Smart City and Faisal Town Phase 2, and further linked via the Rawalpindi Ring Road and Chakri Road.
Yes. The No Objection Certificate has been approved by the Defence Housing Authority, which operates under Pakistan's Ministry of Defence — a key factor in the project's credibility.
DHA Gandhara is a joint venture between the Army Welfare Trust (AWT) and Habib Rafique (Pvt) Ltd (HRL), with the master plan designed by Surbana Jurong of Singapore.
At this time, residential plots are open only in 1 Kanal (500 Sq. Yd.) size, plus commercial plots in the dedicated commercial zone. Pre-launch pricing for the 1 Kanal residential plot currently sits around PKR 7.2–7.45 million — message us for the current rate and commercial pricing.
The project spans an estimated 32,500 kanals, making it the largest DHA development by land area across Islamabad and Rawalpindi.
Entry pricing is typically lowest at the pre-launch stage, before infrastructure development and phased price revisions bring plot rates up — as has been the pattern in earlier DHA phases. That said, real estate returns are never guaranteed and depend on market conditions, so it's worth verifying current development status before committing.
