Who Should Buy Commercial?
Rental income investors. As Lahore Future City grows and its residential population increases demand for shops clinics offices and service businesses within the community will rise.

High-capital investors. Commercial plots cost more upfront but deliver higher absolute returns per square foot in mature societies. Investors with larger budgets who want the strongest long term yield potential prefer commercial.

- Higher rental yield potential 6 to 8% annually at maturity
- Business opportunity as society populates
- Stronger price per square foot appreciation in mature stages

- Higher entry price — starts at PKR 57,00,000
- Higher monthly installment — PKR 45,000 for 3 Marla
