The real estate market in Bahria Town Lahore has always been a pathfinder with lifestyle-oriented developments that reformulate contemporary living. In 2025, there are two new emerging types of housing such as serviced villas and co-living projects that are changing/transforming the way people and property investors, view their housing. These models are not only about offering houses but it is more of a change towards convenience, community and long time financial sustainability.

The important consideration on the part of the investors is whether such properties offer plausible economic prospects vis-a-vis the traditional houses or apartments or plots. On the part of the homebuyers, the question arises whether the additional amount that they pay as amenities and services actually lead to increase in value and lifestyle improvement. In this blog, we will explore the economics of serviced villas and co-living space in Bahria Town Lahore based on the latest market data, pricing trends and analysis by industry veterans.

Serviced Villas What are they?

Ready-to-move-in houses are inspected and certified refined homes with all the basic amenities for house appliances, furniture and fittings. They are delivered with housekeeping services, maintenance services and in others, concierge services. The serviced villas in Bahria Town Lahore start with a basic 3 marla compact and go all the way up to 2 kanal luxurious units, appealing to the differences within the market.

The target market is made up of expats, short term residents, professionals who are too busy, and investors that are interested in yield property rentals.

Prices in the market (2025):

5 marla serviced villa: PKR 2.5- 3.5 crore
10 marla serviced villa: PKR 4.5 -6.5 crore
kanal serviced villa: PKR 7 12 crore

These numbers demonstrate a definite premium of 15-25 percent as compared to non-serviced houses which is explained by the convenience, quality of finishing, and higher leasing interest.

What is co-Living?

Col-living space is a form of contemporary communal-living arrangements in which people lease out their bedrooms in a shared facility, inclusive of shared kitchen, lounge and other recreational areas. Lahore: In Co-living projects, the scope of involvements is increasing with:

Available workforce in the business hubs of Lahore is made up of young professionals who are working.

University students

Individuals or small families in a need of affordable but quality accommodation

Coliving facilities can be found in apartments and former homes. Contrary to the normal rentals, they lay stress on shared amenities, cost effectiveness, and communal living.

Average rent: (2025):

Single accommodation at the co-living residence: PKR 35000-60000/month
Living studio: PKR 70,000- 1.2 lakh/month

This model is demand-based, thus, maintaining high levels of occupancy and it is therefore attractive to the investors.

Economic Forces Behind the Serviced Villas

Several economic and lifestyle factors that provide a base to the increase in the serviced villas in Bahria Town Lahore:

Expat demand: The second reason is that overseas Pakistanis like holidaying in a property that is ready to be moved in when they are visiting or investing in Lahore.

Rental yields: A 5 marla villa in serviced Bahria Orchard or Safari Villas has the ability to generate 8%-10% rental yields per annum as compared to 5 to 6 in case of traditional houses.

High-quality finishing: villas have luxurious finishes, energy-saving mechanisms, and contemporary designs, which saves you the expenses of renovation later.

Installment options: As a means of making high-value properties a reality to more people, developers usually offer flexible 2 or 3 year installment plans.

Economic Factors that Fuel co-Living Spaces

When it comes to co-living projects, the economics are different but equally as persuasive:

Affordability factor: With prices of real estate increasing in Bahria Town Lahore, the cost of independent renting has escalated and encouraged the shared living phenomenon. Predominant rental occupancy: co-living units have occupancy rates of 90 percent and more, as opposed to conventional apartments that can be left unoccupied over several months.

Maintenance of income: Investors receive fixed and regular rental incomes on a monthly basis through multiple tenants in a single property.

Target audience: Young seekers are professionals operating in the IT Parks and financial centers in Lahore as a result, young professionals prefer co-living so far since they are economical and provide networking.
