DHA Gujranwala is a residential and commercial community managed by the Defence Housing Authority (DHA) on the main GT Road in Gujranwala. DHA already operates housing schemes in cities including Karachi, Lahore, Islamabad, Peshawar, Quetta, Bahawalpur and Multan, and all DHA schemes operate under the supervision of the Pakistan Army.
This overview reflects information published in August 2023. The society covers a large acquired area divided into phases and sectors, with both residential and commercial plots on offer.
