Punjab Cooperative Housing Society[edit]
Punjab Cooperative Housing Society was the entry point of Urban Developers in the horizon of real estate development. Developed by Urban Developers in 1980 and currently owned by Defence Housing Authority, Lahore. PCHS(Punjab Cooperative Housing Society) faced some criticism due to the issue of a shared pathway between DHA and PCHS. This criticism led to a conflict and was eventually resolved by merging PCHS into Defence Housing Authority, Lahore by the consent of residents. Since then, PCHS has also been known as DHA Phase IV extension.
Air Avenue Housing Scheme[edit]
Air Avenue Housing Scheme was the 2nd gated community of Urban Developers started in early 2000. This was thought to be an important housing society of the time because of its location near to the Allama Iqbal International Airport but it turned out to be a similar issue with Defence Housing Authority, Lahore like the one Urban Developers faced in PCHS. It was resolved in a similar way and was merged into Defence Housing Authority, Lahore. Now, its known as 'DHA Phase VIII - Extension'.
Central Park Housing Scheme[edit]
Central Park located at Ferozpur Road, Lahore is the most extensive project of Urban Developers so far. It is a gated community of 10,000 Kanals having substantial locations like Central Park Medical College, Central Park Teaching Hospital, Lahore Grammar School and Super Cinema.
I.T. Tower Shopping Mall[edit]
I.T. Tower Shopping Mall is a multi-storey commercial complex comprising of 376 shops and 59 offices. It is developed and maintained by Urban Developers and acts as a site office for Urban Developers.
