Commercial Property Investment in Bahria Town: Shop, Clinic or Apartment at Skyra Tower?

What commercial property is for sale at Skyra Tower?

Skyra Tower is a mixed-use building on Plot 656 in the Business District (Central Business District-South) of Bahria Town Phase 8, Rawalpindi, developed by Creation Developers (Pvt) Ltd. It rises ground plus nine floors, and its commercial space sits on the lowest three.

The ground floor has 9 double-height, glass-fronted showrooms along a retail promenade, beside a double-height grand reception lobby. The 1st and 2nd floors hold 38 consultant clinics or offices – 19 per floor – each with its own reception. Above them, the 3rd to 7th floors are apartments and the 8th and 9th floors are three duplex penthouses.

How do shops, clinics and apartments compare on price and size?

The rate per square foot sets the scale of each option: shops PKR 60,000, clinics PKR 25,000, apartments PKR 15,000. Across the full schedule, shops run 560–1,123 sq ft (PKR 33,600,000 to PKR 67,380,000), clinics 380–830 sq ft (PKR 9,500,000 to PKR 20,750,000) and apartments 440–1,225 sq ft (PKR 6,600,000 to PKR 18,375,000).

What matters for a decision today is what is actually on the current availability list, confirmed at booking:

• Shops: 1 of 9 available – showroom G-09, 676 sq ft, PKR 40,560,000.
• Clinics / offices: 6 of 38 available – 106 (540 sq ft, PKR 13,500,000), 209 and 210 (580 sq ft, PKR 14,500,000 each), 213 and 214 (550 sq ft, PKR 13,750,000 each) and 217 (530 sq ft, PKR 13,250,000).
• Apartments: 24 of 75 available on the 5th and 6th floors, from the 440 sq ft studio at PKR 6,600,000 to the 1,225 sq ft Type D at PKR 18,375,000.

What does each option cost on the 30/65/5 plan?

Every category at Skyra Tower uses the same structure: 30% at booking, 65% over 36 monthly instalments, 5% on possession. Lining the three options up on that plan shows the real gap in cash commitment, which is far wider than the gap in floor area.

Showroom G-09 needs PKR 12,168,000 down, PKR 732,333 a month for 36 months and PKR 2,028,000 at possession. Clinic 106 needs PKR 4,050,000 down, PKR 243,750 a month and PKR 675,000 at possession. A Type B one-bedroom apartment needs PKR 2,700,000 down, PKR 162,500 a month and PKR 450,000 at possession. In other words, the showroom’s monthly instalment is roughly three clinic instalments, or four and a half one-bedroom instalments.

Why does a shop cost four times an apartment per square foot?

The PKR 60,000 shop rate prices position rather than space. A ground-floor showroom has street-level frontage, a double-height glass front and its place on the retail promenade; an apartment on the 5th floor has none of those, and a clinic sits in between – upstairs, but on dedicated professional floors with its own reception.

For an investor that means two different questions. With a shop, ask who would trade from it and what such a tenant needs – frontage, visibility, loading. With a clinic, ask whether a doctor, consultant or small office would choose that exact floor and size. With an apartment, ask what a household would pay to live there. We do not publish rents or forecasts; test demand yourself with local agents before you commit.

Which option suits which buyer?

There is no universally better choice – there is a better fit for your budget and purpose.

• Showroom: for a buyer with a large budget who wants street-level retail space; only G-09 is on the current list.
• Clinic or office: for doctors, consultants and professionals who want their own practice with a reception, or investors who understand that tenant market; six are available at 530–580 sq ft.
• Apartment: the lowest ticket in the building and the widest choice – seven layouts, 24 units available – for buyers who prefer residential property.
• Mixed approach: some buyers pair a smaller unit with the full-payment offer rather than stretching to a larger one on instalments – run both cases before deciding.

What should you check before buying commercial space in Bahria Town?

Commercial units raise questions that apartments do not. Put each of these to the developer, Creation Developers (Pvt) Ltd, and get the answers in writing before booking.

The sales desk currently offers 15% off the schedule price for payment in full; ask whether it applies to the specific shop or clinic you want, and have it written into your booking papers if so.

• Permitted use of the unit – retail, clinic or office – and any restrictions.
• Signage rights for showrooms and clinics, and where signs may go.
• Parking and visitor access arrangements for customers and patients.
• Maintenance charges for commercial units and what they cover.
• Utility connections and load for your intended use.
• Transfer terms if you want to sell before possession.

What is the next step for a commercial buyer?

Shortlist by budget first: around PKR 13–15 million puts the available clinics in range, PKR 15.75–18.4 million covers the two-bedroom apartments, and above PKR 40 million showroom G-09 comes into play. Then compare the monthly instalment against the income or savings that will cover it.
