Shahan Sheikh, a prominent DHA Lahore real estate businessman, builder and CEO of Shahan Associates, has said preparations are underway to hand over possession at his Smart Town Houses residential project on Raiwind Road within the next two to three weeks to buyers who completed their payments ahead of schedule.
The planned handover covers two towers and would take place before the end of the project’s original payment plan. Construction will continue on the remaining residential units.
Speaking exclusively to ReNews Pakistan about construction progress and the planned handover of keys, Sheikh said the project was launched with a two-and-a-half-year payment plan. Some buyers, however, sought early possession and completed their payments sooner to facilitate delivery.
“We intend to give these buyers possession within the next two to three weeks, so they will not have to wait until the original payment period ends,” he said.
Sheikh said construction of the remaining homes was progressing alongside preparations for the initial handover.
“Our effort is to hand over the remaining homes before the end of their respective payment plans as well,” he added.
Asked about construction quality, Sheikh said a ReNews Pakistan representative would be invited to visit the project during the initial handover to inspect the completed work and assess its quality firsthand.
The apartment-based residential development is being built on land adjoining Etihad Town Phase One on Raiwind Road.
