What CBD Punjab Plots Cost in 2026
CBD Punjab sells its commercial plots through open public auctions, not fixed allotments. That means there is no single “official price list” — the final rate is whatever the market bids on auction day. Based on published PCBDDA auction results, winning bids have ranged from roughly PKR 70 million to PKR 301 million per kanal, depending on the district, plot size, and location within the project.
This guide breaks down indicative per-kanal rates by district so you know what to expect before you bid. Treat these as benchmarks, not guarantees — every auction is its own market.
Per-Kanal Rates by District
| District | Indicative Range (per kanal) | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Quaid District | PKR 150M – 301M | The original CBD footprint on ex-Walton Airport land. Highest demand; plots near Main Boulevard and the CBD Walk frontage command the top end. Recent marquee auctions have closed above PKR 250M/kanal for prime commercial plots. |
| Bab District | PKR 100M – 200M | Newer district around Bab-e-Pakistan. Rates are lower than Quaid but rising as infrastructure (roads, the proposed Diplomatic Enclave) takes shape. Good value for medium-term investors. |
| NSIT City (Nawaz Sharif IT City) | PKR 70M – 150M | Positioned as an IT-led district near PKLI on the Ferozepur Road corridor. Lower entry point; aimed at tech companies and institutional buyers. Rates reflect its early development stage. |
What Drives the Price Differences
1. Location within the district
Corner plots, main-road frontage, and plots facing CBD Walk or the lake consistently fetch 20–40% more than interior plots in the same auction.
2. Plot size
Smaller commercial plots (4–8 marla) often show a higher per-marla rate than full-kanal plots, because more bidders can afford the total ticket size. If you are comparing, always convert to a common unit.
3. Payment terms
Auctions with longer installment plans tend to attract higher bids, since the financing burden is spread out. Check the payment schedule in each auction’s terms before comparing headline prices.
4. Market cycle
Auction results move with Lahore’s broader property market. A bid from early 2024 is not directly comparable to one from late 2026 — always check the auction date.
Per-Marla Quick Reference
One kanal = 20 marla. To convert any per-kanal figure, divide by 20:
- PKR 200M/kanal ≈ PKR 10M per marla
- PKR 150M/kanal ≈ PKR 7.5M per marla
- PKR 100M/kanal ≈ PKR 5M per marla
- PKR 70M/kanal ≈ PKR 3.5M per marla
How to Verify Current Rates
- Check the latest auction results on the official PCBDDA website (cbdpunjab.gov.pk) — results are published after each auction round.
- Compare 2–3 recent auctions in the same district rather than relying on a single headline figure.
- Talk to the authority, not just dealers. PCBDDA’s helpline can confirm reserve prices and terms for upcoming auctions.
- Read our auction process guide to understand how bidding actually works before you commit earnest money.
Estimate Your Total Cost
The winning bid is only part of the cost. Factor in transfer fees, taxes, and development charges. Use our free property calculators — including stamp duty and installment plan calculators — to work out the true all-in figure before auction day.
