What 6.5 kanal means here

DHA Phase 6's commercial plots are cut at two, four, eight and sixteen marla. A hundred and thirty marla in one ownership is therefore about thirty-two standard four-marla plots, or sixteen eight-marla plots, or eight of the big sixteen-marla corners. That is the single most meaningful fact in this entry: a holding of that size can carry an anchor tenant and its own parking, which the plots around it cannot.

One arithmetic note worth carrying: at Phase 6 commercial rates the land alone would be worth several times the stated project value. That is normal for a joint venture — DHA puts in the land and the partner puts in the building — so the Rs 1,800 million figure should be read as construction cost, not as what the plaza is worth.

What we could not confirm

Almost everything else. This entry appears on one private property portal and nowhere else — not on DHA's own site, not on Pak Gulf's own site, not in any news, and not on the two other portals that publish the same joint-venture record. No sector, no plot number, no marketing name, no construction.

A company called Pak Gulf Construction does exist and is well known for a large Islamabad project. It even keeps an office in DHA Lahore. But we could not establish that it is the same company named on this record, and we will not imply a link we have not proved.
