The Punjab Central Business District Development Authority (PCBDDA) has invited firms, companies, consortiums, individual investors and developers to submit proposals for the development of 48 premium retail and commercial units at CBD NSIT City, Lahore. The units form part of NSIT Pulse Extension, adjacent to DHA Phase 6 and 7, and proposals are to be submitted under the Joint Venture (JV) mode.
The development comprises six blocks, with eight units per block and a building footprint of 54,000 square feet. Each unit has a total area of 5 marla and a total built-up area of 6,000 square feet. The unit configuration is ground floor plus four floors, with a height of 75 feet.
The procurement follows the single-stage, two-envelope bidding procedure under the PCBDDA Procurement Regulations, 2024. The Request for Proposal (RFP) can be purchased for a non-refundable fee of Rs 50,000 through a pay order in favour of PCBDDA, and the technical bid must be accompanied by bid security of Rs 2,000,000 in the form of a pay order, CDR or bank guarantee. The RFP document has been prepared on the basis of an unsolicited proposal.
A project briefing was scheduled for 10 November 2026 at 2:30 PM in the Conference Room of PCBDDA. The RFP deadline is 18 November 2026: proposals must be submitted by 3:00 PM, and proposal opening will take place at 3:30 PM the same day. If the submission day is an official holiday, the following day will be considered the closing date. PCBDDA reserves the right to accept or reject any or all submissions without assigning a reason.
What this means for CBD Punjab
This is a concrete, dated next step for NSIT City rather than another announcement: 48 retail and commercial units, offered to developers through a joint venture, on a defined footprint next to DHA Phase 6 and 7. For readers tracking delivery, the test is simple — whether credible proposals arrive by 18 November and a development partner is actually appointed. Until then, the Pulse Extension remains a tender, not a construction start, and no completion date or price has been announced. This article reports a public tender notice. It is not investment advice.
