Defence Housing Authority (DHA) (Urdu: ڈیفنس ہاؤسنگ اتھارٹی) is a Pakistan Army-administered real-estate developer that governs housing and municipal services for Defence neighbourhoods across Pakistan.[1] Since the developer is nationally recognised, people need not worry about the safety of their investments. Other than that, they can be sure about getting a high return on their investment (ROI) too. [2] It is the first largest residential community in Pakistan. It was constitutionalised through an act of parliament in 2002, whereas, Defence Secretary is it chairman and it is managed by Pakistan Army.[3]
Primarily aimed to develop housing for current and retired military personnel in 1970s, now sells most plots in its new projects to civilians while a portion of total plots is allotted to armed forces officers, families of martyrs and other employees as service benefit on installment payment plans ranging from 10 to 20 years.
DHA allows the construction of houses and commercial buildings.[4]
