DHA has made its name in Pakistan’s real estate by delivering what they commit. DHA Phase 3 is a residential project launched by DHA. This project has its attractiveness in its location and the facilities that it provides. The project has been carried out with great speed, where some sectors are complete, and some are on their way to completion.
History
What is DHA Phase 3 today, was Bahria Serene City before 2016. Initially, the project was started by Bahria Town, and major ground works, such as levelling, were also completed. However, the land faced some issues, leading to court cases. After years in court and in disputes, Bahria Town sold the project to DHA in 2016. DHA restarted the project as DHA Phase 3. The people who already bought files or plots in Serene City were either told to give up their property and receive their payment back, or they could pay an extra price for DHA plots and retain their property.
Developers of DHA Phase 3
The main developer for this project is DHA. As one of the leading real estate developers in Pakistan, Defence Housing Authority (DHA) provides safe and peaceful residential living environments for military personnel and their families, as the initial development occurred in 1992 by the Pakistan Armed Services Welfare Committee (ASWC). Ultimately, DHA has grown to provide opportunities for civilians, with developments occurring in major urban centres throughout the country.
NOC Status of DHA Phase 3
DHA Phase 3 has received its No Objection Certificate (NOC) from the relevant authority. This status ensures that the project is carried out by meeting all legal and government standards, and so is safe for investing and buying. The risk of legal issues is minimal.
