Scheme 33 (Gulzar-e-Hijri) spans over 26,000 acres along the Karachi–Hyderabad M-9 Motorway. It comprises over 130 cooperative housing societies, offering a wide spectrum of residential plots, commercial units, and apartments. Its popularity stems from its strategic connectivity (adjacent to Gulshan-e-Iqbal and Malir Cantt) and affordability compared to central Karachi neighborhoods, making it a prime hub for both long-term capital appreciation and immediate residential development.
Leased Plots: Have official 99-year lease documentation completed with the Board of Revenue (BOR) Sindh or KDA/SBCA. They are legally secure, easier to transfer, eligible for bank financing, and command higher market prices.
Unleased / Allotment Plots: Transferred via society allotment letters without an official registered sub-lease. While cheaper, they carry higher administrative risk and require extra due diligence to verify the status of society NOCs and master layout plan approvals.
Depending on the specific society within Scheme 33, governance and approvals fall under:
Board of Revenue (BOR) Sindh: Oversees land records and initial land allotments.
Karachi Development Authority (KDA) / Malir Development Authority (MDA): Manages master planning and development oversight.
Sindh Building Control Authority (SBCA): Approves architectural building plans and issue construction NOCs.
Cooperative Societies Department Sindh: Regulates the management and elections of cooperative housing societies.
