All major site works completed at Dolmen Mall in Lahore


Construction at Dolmen Mall in Lahore, Pakistan, is now in the final stages. The Mall is due to open imminently.

This 75,000m² GLA shopping centre, situated within the Defense Housing Authority grounds, will transform the shopping experience in Pakistan.

Dolmen Mall will offer three levels of retail: a hypermarket, cafés, restaurants, themed food streets, food courts, and leisure and entertainment facilities. Two levels of basement parking will also be available for 2,000 cars.

Designed by Chapman Taylor’s Brussels studio for Dolmen Group, this upscale state-of-the-art shopping is easily accessible from the Lahore Ring Road, allowing easy connectivity to the city of Lahore and neighbouring conurbations.

The design uses traditional Islamic patterns on glazed surfaces, employing geometrical shapes to stunning effect. The context-appropriate façade uses subtle pastel colours and textures that complement the scheme’s landscaping, while a striking feature roof ‘drapes’ over the building, creating a wave-like canopy to emphasise the entrances.

An exceptional standard of external and internal amenities on all four levels is set to be distinctive, offering a variety of uses at different times of the day.

Situated within the Defence Housing Authority (DHA) grounds, the mall offers three retail space levels: a hypermarket, various cafés, restaurants, themed food streets, food courts, and extensive leisure and entertainment facilities. Two basement levels provide parking for up to 2,000 vehicles.

Designed by Chapman Taylor’s Brussels studio for Dolmen Group, this state-of-the-art development is easily accessible via the Lahore Ring Road and offers seamless connectivity to the city and surrounding areas.

The architectural design incorporates traditional Islamic patterns on glazed surfaces, blending geometrical shapes with a modern aesthetic. The exterior features subtle pastel colours and textures that harmonise with the landscape. In contrast, the building's standout feature is a wave-like roof canopy designed to draw attention to the entrances.

Inside, the mall offers a sophisticated experience across four levels, catering to different daily needs. Shoppers can expect a curated selection of high-end brands, regional delicacies at the themed food courts, and family-friendly entertainment, including thrilling activities at Sindbad amusement park.

Strategically located near Lahore Airport and DHA Phase IV, Dolmen Mall Lahore is expected to significantly impact the local economy. The construction process, which began in 2018, has created thousands of jobs, and even more employment opportunities are expected once the mall opens its doors. The mall is poised to attract visitors from across Lahore and beyond, boosting the local economy and creating new revenue streams.

This project, a result of a collaborative effort between local and international consultants, reflects Dolmen Group's commitment to delivering a world-class shopping experience in Pakistan.
