Looking to invest or settle in one of Rawalpindi’s most talked-about developments? Bahria Town Phase 8 is more than just a residential venture—it’s a carefully planned community designed for modern living. In a recent informative video, Syed Sajjad Hussain Shirazi and Muhammad Waseem Abbas of SSM Group of Companies provided a complete walkthrough of what this phase offers. Here’s a detailed, human-written breakdown for anyone considering making Bahria Town Phase 8 their next home or investment.
A Well-Connected Community
Accessibility is a major highlight. Phase 8 isn’t isolated; it’s integrated into the wider area through multiple entry points. You can easily enter from the Grand Trunk Road, DHA Phase 1, and DHA Phase 3. Specific gates like Bahria’s own main gate and the Garden City gate, along with routes from Katcheri and Rawat, ensure that getting in and out is convenient from almost any direction.
Understanding the Blocks and Plots
This phase is expansive and still growing, with new land being acquired. Currently, there are 38 blocks, ranging from A to P, including some exclusive sectors:
· Club City, Eden Lake View Block, Rafi Block, Usman Block, Overseas Enclave, and Bahria Hamlet are among the specialized offerings.
· Plot sizes are varied to suit different needs: 5, 6, 7, 8, 10, 12, 14 marla, and 1 Kanal. For instance, the Usman Block exclusively offers 7 marla plots.
When choosing a plot, you’ll encounter different categories:
· General plots are standard.
· Category plots (like park-facing or main boulevard plots) come with a 5-10% premium.
· Plots that fall into two categories (e.g., corner + park-facing) may have a 10-20% additional charge.
· Extra land alongside plots is classified as Type A (buildable), Type B (can be enclosed but not built upon), or Type C (for lawn only).
Investment Overview: Plot & House Pricing
The pricing varies significantly depending on the block, plot size, and possession status.
For Plots:
· Overseas Block: Premium pricing, with 5 marla starting at 80-90 lakhs, and 1 Kanal going up to 2.5-2.75 crores.
· M, E, E1, J, K Blocks: More accessible, with 5 marla plots ranging from 65-80 lakhs.
· Orchard (Non-Possession): An affordable entry point, with 5 marla starting around 28-35 lakhs.
· Installment Plans: In extensions like E1 and J, 5 marla plots are available with a one-year installment plan (e.g., 55 lakhs with 50% down).
For Constructed Houses:
Ready-to-move-in homes offer another option:
· M Block:
5 marla houses from 1.7-1.9 crores.
· Ali Block:
5 marla houses from 2.1-2.3 crores.

Life Within Bahria: Amenities Galore
The philosophy here is self-sufficiency. The phase is equipped with:
· Educational institutions: Schools and colleges.
· Healthcare: Hospitals.
· Community facilities:
A mosque in every block, numerous parks, golf clubs, zoos, cinemas, hotels, and marquees.
The goal is to fulfill all daily needs—education, recreation, healthcare, and even employment—within the community.
The Heart of Commerce: Central Business District (CBD)
While most blocks have local commercial areas, the crown jewel is the Central Business District (CBD). This is the future commercial hub for Phases 7 & 8, envisioned as Bahria’s answer to Islamabad’s Blue Area.
· What it offers: Over 2.1 km, it will host hotels, corporate offices, apartments, shops, and shopping malls. Tourist attractions like a Statue of Liberty replica and a lake are part of the plan.
· Key Developments:
It will feature the second-largest mall in Rawalpindi-Islamabad, Domein Mall, alongside other international brands.
· Progress & Access:
Development is rapid, with a projected completion around 2025. Once the Ring Road is fully operational, the CBD will be just a 20-30 minute drive from Islamabad Airport, accessible from DHA phases and Bahria Town Phase 7.
