Bahria Town (Private) Limited.[1][2] ({{lang-ur|{{Nastaliq|بحریہ ٹاؤن}}}}) is a Rawalpindi-based privately owned real-estate development company which owns, develops and manages properties across Pakistan.

Founded in late-1990s, it established its first gated community in southern Rawalpindi on the Grand Trunk Road, which by mid-2000s had expanded into nine phases divided into two compounds.[3] Its second gated community opened in Lahore, which is influenced by Greco-Roman culture and is built in Southern Lahore. In 2015, it launched the Bahria Town Karachi, the largest of its gated communities, while Bahria Enclave Islamabad (launched in 2013) is the smallest of them.[4][5] Most of these communities are large towns in their own right, its oldest community in Rawalpindi spans over {{convert|40000|acre|ha|order=flip}}.[6] The under-construction Bahria Town Karachi spans over {{convert|40000|acre|ha|order=flip}} and it is the largest privately owned residential community in the country.[7] Combined, its projects have the capacity to house over a million people.[8]

Apart from gated towns, the company owns several shopping complexes including the Mall of Lahore and the under-construction Mall of Islamabad, chain of cinemas under the brand of Cine Gold, a chain of supermarkets under the banner of Green Valley Hypermarket and skyscrapers including the Bahria Icon Tower, which is the tallest in Pakistan.[9][10][11][12] With over 100,000 employees, the group also is the developer of Grand Jamia Mosque, Lahore, which is the seventh largest in the world and is constructing the third largest mosque in Karachi.[13][14][15] The under-construction Rafi Cricket Stadium when completed will also be the largest in the country.[16][17] On November 2016, Bahria entered into a contract with Hyatt to develop four properties across Pakistan, including two golf resort's, worth combined $600 million. The properties would be owned by Bahria.[18]

Bahria projects usually house upper middle and high income Pakistanis, these communities have private security, ability to restrict access to non-residents and are energy independent from the national grid.[18][19] Bahria gated communities are home to private schools including those operate by the company, private hospitals, hotels and commercial avenues.[20] Bahria has been featured by international news agencies'[21] GlobalPost claimed that in 2013, Bahria houses some 100,000 people in Rawalpindi alone.[22] Newsweek calls it as Pakistan's Gateway to Paradise.[23] On October 6, 2011, Los Angeles Times refereed Bahria as 'functioning state within a non-functioning one'.[24] Regardless of that Bahria has been subject to controversies, it is referred to as a symbol of inequality, blamed for illegal encroachment of forests and illegal alliance with military.[24]

Recognition and awards

After success at national level, Bahria has been featured by international magazines and news agencies, referred to as the prosperous face of Pakistan. According to Emirates 24/7 Bahria Town is 'where Pakistan's new middle class takes refuge from the Taliban attacks and endless power cuts that plague the rest of the .'[21] GlobalPost claimed that in 2013, Bahria houses some 100,000 people in total.[22] Newsweek calls it as Pakistan's Gateway to Paradise.[23] On October 6, 2011, Los Angeles Times refereed Bahria as 'functioning state within a non-functioning one'.[24] Regardless of that Bahria has been subject to controversies, it is referred to as a symbol of inequality, blamed for illegal encroachment of forests and unholy alliance with military.[24]

Controversies

Bahria has been subject to controversies, it is referred to as a symbol of inequality, blamed for illegal encroachment of forests and unholy alliance with military.[24]

Ayesha Siddiqa, a civilian military analyst and author of "Military Inc: Inside Pakistan Military Economy,"[40] alleges that those links have allowed him to acquire land, in some cases returning a percentage to senior officers as developed plots.[41]

Chief Executive of Bahria Town, Ali Riaz Malik has submitted his statement regarding the Arsalan Iftikhar (son of Chief Justice of Pakistan Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry) suo moto case in the Supreme Court of Pakistan that Bahria Town was not behind any allegations against Arsalan and that the court's proceedings were not aimed at investigating the affairs of Bahria Town. The written reply also said that if any statement were made against Bahria Town or against its administration, then the organisation would have the right to respond to it.[42]

In April 2016, Malik Riaz Hussain's son, Ahmed Ali Riaz Malik, was named in the Panama Papers.[43]
