Punjab’s Additional Chief Secretary, Iftikhar Ali Sahoo, has visited the main development sites of the Punjab Central Business District Development Authority (PCBDDA) to review progress on the authority’s flagship projects in Lahore. The visit covered CBD Bab District, CBD Quaid District and Nawaz Sharif IT City (NSIT), and comes as several of the authority’s headline projects move towards completion.
Sahoo was welcomed by CBD Punjab Chief Operating Officer Brig (retd) Mansoor Janjua and the authority’s senior management team. During the visit, he was briefed on the proposed Diplomatic Enclave in Bab District, the commercial units at CBD Walk, infrastructure work at NSIT City and the Celestia IT Tower.
Expressing satisfaction with the progress on site, Sahoo praised CBD Punjab’s efforts and underlined the importance of these projects in transforming Punjab’s urban landscape, strengthening infrastructure and attracting investment. Janjua reaffirmed the authority’s commitment to maintaining development momentum, upholding quality standards and completing projects within their respective timelines.
What this means for CBD Punjab
The visit is the latest sign of senior provincial oversight of CBD Punjab’s work, with the province’s top bureaucracy now reviewing the same three districts — Bab, Quaid and NSIT — that carry the authority’s most closely watched projects. The Diplomatic Enclave, CBD Walk and the Celestia IT Tower remain the headline items under review, and continued attention from senior officials signals that the government wants these projects delivered on schedule.
One caveat for readers: the report gives no new dates, figures or timelines. No completion date, price or investment amount was announced, so this visit should be read as a progress review rather than a new announcement. The value for buyers and investors is the confirmation that work across all three districts is being monitored at the highest level of the provincial administration.
