Bahria Town (Private) Limited (Urdu: بحریہ ٹاؤن) is an Islamabad-based privately owned real-estate development company which owns, develops and manages properties across Pakistan.[2][3]
It established its first gated community in Islamabad.[4] Its second gated community opened in Lahore. In 2015, it launched Bahria Town Karachi, the largest of its gated communities, while Bahria Enclave Islamabad (launched in 2013) is the smallest of them.[5][6] Most of these communities are large towns in their own right, its oldest community in Southern Islamabad spans over 16,000 hectares (40,000 acres).[7] The under-construction Bahria Town Karachi spans over 16,000 hectares (40,000 acres), making it the largest privately owned residential community in the country.[8] [9]
The companies subsidiary's include the Mall of Lahore and the under-construction Mall of Islamabad, a chain of cinemas under the brand of Cine Gold, a chain of supermarkets under the banner of Green Valley Hypermarket and skyscrapers including the Bahria Icon Tower, which is the tallest building in Pakistan.[10][11][12][13] The group is also the developer of Grand Jamia Mosque, Lahore, which is the seventh largest in the world and is constructing the third largest mosque in Karachi.[14][15][16] The under-construction Rafi Cricket Stadium, when completed, will also be the largest in the country.[17][18] In November 2016, Bahria entered into a contract with Hyatt to develop four properties across Pakistan, including two golf resorts, worth combined $600 million. The properties would be owned by Bahria.[19]
ACE International Academy is also a project of Bahria Town. Bahria projects usually house upper middle and high income Pakistanis, these communities have private security, ability to restrict access to non-residents and are energy independent from the national grid.[20][21] Bahria gated communities are home to private schools including those operated by the company, private hospitals, hotels, and commercial avenues.[22] Bahria has been featured by several international news agencies.[23]
