The PCBDDA team consists of motivated and competent individuals that are driven to achieving the impactful and positive visions that we have for our city.
PCBDDA had a vision that would lead to the transformation and modernization of Lahore, promote sustainable projects and create opportunities for the youth. The vision was not only achieved by the successful auction of commercial plots, but by the trust we built along the way. Having broken commercial land auction records for Punjab was only the tip of the iceberg. Transparency and ease of business are characterized as our work ethic and we will ensure our work practices remain efficient, up-to-date and always helpful so that we can play our part in ensuring that the future is delivered in its best form.
