Why Gulberg Apartments Still Deliver 6–8% Yields

MM Alam Road and Main Boulevard apartments remain Lahore's strongest residential cashflow play for landlords targeting professionals and expatriates.

While DHA houses win on brand and resale depth, Gulberg apartments continue to post gross rental yields of roughly 6–8% for well-managed units — among the best residential yields in major Pakistani cities.

Demand is driven by professionals who want walkable access to dining, coworking, and retail without the commute from Phase 8 or Bahria. Furnished two- and three-bed units near Liberty and MM Alam lease fastest. Landlords should price competitively, maintain generator and lift SLAs, and budget for 1–1.5 months of vacancy per year.

Investors comparing Gulberg to Bahria Town or Lake City should remember: Bahria wins on lifestyle amenities and lower entry prices (12–18 lakh/marla land), but central Gulberg wins on tenant density and rent velocity.
