I just want to share a good news with all the Lahories that Lahore is going to have a Kidney & Liver transplant hospital & research center soon. It is a big news and many people will for sure get benefit from it.
Since it is a property discussion blog, so in that perspective it is also a good news particularly for investors/plot owners in DHA 7. This PKLI & RC is going to be constructed within Lahore Knowledge Park. There are no physical activities for LKP as yet, but as per the following news, published in DAWN, PKLI&RC construction is going to start very soon.
This news will really have a big impact on phase 7 in terms of house construction or plot
prices.
Good luck to all.
