Emirates Mall & Residency is a 19-storey Kings Developments tower on Raiwind Road, Lahore; Faletti’s-branded apartments above, three floors of commercial retail below. For a shop investor, that stack is the interesting part: your retail unit sits under 600 residents and hotel-suite guests, inside Al Kabir Downtown’s growth corridor. This guide has the floor-by-floor prices, the 4-year payment plan worked on a real unit, and the questions buyers ask before booking. Table below if you want numbers fast.

What Are You Actually Buying at Emirates Mall?
A commercial retail unit on one of three retail floors inside a 19-storey mall-plus-residence tower on Raiwind Road.
The building sits inside Al Kabir Downtown, the 600-kanal commercial master plan by Al-Kabir Developers and includes 600 residential units above the retail floors, plus a food court and smart offices. That mix is the demand engine for shop footfall: your rental tenant is not renting into an empty tower, they are renting into a building that already has resident, hotel-guest and office-worker traffic pouring through the concourse every day.
The building crown is co-branded with Faletti’s Hotel on the residential floors (Faletti’s Grand Hotel Lahore), which lifts the whole tower’s brand profile for retail tenants too.
Shop Prices Floor by Floor — Verified
Rates below are from The Kings Developments’ brochure. Every earlier price quoted online (Zarkoon, Titanium, pre-launch teasers) is superseded.
1. Shops — per-sqft rate by floor
| Floor | Shop rate (PKR/sqft) | Kiosk rate (PKR/sqft) |
| 1st Floor | 35,000 | 30,000 |
| 2nd Floor | 32,000 | 28,000 |
| 3rd Floor | 30,000 | 30,000 |
2. Worked examples — real unit prices
| Unit | Floor | Size (sqft) | Rate | Total (PKR) |
| MB/Corner Shop | 1st | 699 | 35,000 | 24,465,000 |
| Standard Lobby Shop | 1st | 146 | 35,000 | 5,110,000 |
| Standard Lobby Shop | 2nd | 146 | 32,000 | 4,672,000 |
| Corner Lobby Shop | 3rd | 135 | 30,000 | 4,050,000 |
| Kiosk | 1st | 70 | 30,000 | 2,100,000 |

Location premium note: The brochure footer says “Location Charges Will Be Applied” for MB, Corner and courtyard-facing units. The exact percentage is not itemised in the received sheet — broker chatter puts it around +10%, but get the actual figure printed on your quotation before you sign.
The three official price sheets — insert them right here
Kings Developments’ own brochure sheets are the source of truth on every price on this page. Insert them in order; 1st floor, then 2nd, then 3rd, so a reader can cross-check any number against the developer’s sheet.
Kiosks — the Small-Ticket Entry Point
Kiosks are the cheapest way into a commercial unit at Emirates Mall.
A 70 sqft kiosk at PKR 28,000/sqft on the second floor totals PKR 1,960,000, under 20 lakh. The booking is PKR 196,000. Monthly instalment is around PKR 10,200. For a portfolio investor who wants exposure to Al Kabir Downtown retail without a 20-million-rupee ticket, this is the unit.
Kiosks also have a payment-plan quirk: instead of the 8 Bi-annual lumps that apply to shops and apartments, you can choose 8 Quarterly instalments, the same 40% weight, but paid every three months instead of every six. Better cash flow smoothing if your income is monthly rather than annual.
Which Floor Is the Best Buy? — The Real Answer
The most-asked question from shop investors, in one section. There is no universal right answer, each floor plays a different game.
1st Floor — highest rent, highest ticket
Rate: PKR 35,000/sqft. Footfall benefit: the immediate spill from mall entrances and escalators.
Best for: buyers who want a premium rental tenant (branded retailer, chain restaurant) and can absorb a bigger ticket. A 146 sqft shop here starts at PKR 5.11M, a corner or MB variant can reach PKR 20M+.
2nd Floor — the sweet-spot floor
Rate: PKR 32,000/sqft — 9% cheaper than the 1st. Footfall benefit: still on the escalator-fed retail levels, but at a lower per-sqft entry.
Best for: rental-yield-focused investors. The rent gap between 1st and 2nd is smaller than the price gap, which means better yield percentage on the 2nd floor. Also where IT hub / co-working leases have historically clustered in similar Raiwind Road malls.
3rd Floor — cheapest shops, food court adjacency
Rate: PKR 30,000/sqft. Footfall benefit: food court traffic on the 3rd floor sends steady walk-past to adjacent shops.
Best for: investors who understand that food-court-adjacency drives F&B, mobile accessories and gift-shop rentals, categories that don’t need premium visibility, just consistent flow.
The kiosk play — different logic altogether
Kiosks are not “worse shops.” They are a different product, smaller footprint, lower ticket, quicker turnover on rental. 1st-floor kiosks at PKR 2.1M can rent to phone accessory stores, food-to-go operators or promotional pop-ups.
If you can only allocate PKR 2–3M to this project, the kiosk gives you a commercial foothold that a similarly-priced apartment does not.
The Payment Plan — Broken Down for a Real Shop
Same 10-10-25-40-15 structure as apartments. Here is what it actually looks like on a 146 sqft 1st-floor shop at PKR 5,110,000.
Worked example — 146 sqft 1st-floor shop at PKR 5,110,000
| Milestone | Percentage | Amount (PKR) | When |
| Booking | 10% | 511,000 | On booking |
| Confirmation | 10% | 511,000 | At digging phase |
| 48 monthly instalments | 25% | 26,615 / month | Months 1–48 |
| 8 bi-annual instalments | 40% | 255,500 / half-year | Every 6 months × 8 |
| Possession | 15% | 766,500 | At handover |
The rhythm to plan for: PKR 511,000 up front, another PKR 511,000 within a few months, PKR 26,615 every month, PKR 255,500 every six months, PKR 766,500 at handover. Total tenure four years.
Who Are These Shops Actually For?
Three buyer types keep landing on the shop enquiry pipeline.
1. The small-business owner buying to trade from their own shop
You already run a business; clothing, mobile accessories, salon, food outlet and want to own the unit rather than pay rent.
Best fit: 2nd-floor 146–215 sqft shops. Lower ticket, lower monthly, and the rent you would otherwise be paying goes straight into equity.
2. The portfolio investor buying for rental yield
You want a commercial unit that pays for itself, ends the payment plan with a tenant in place, and appreciates on Raiwind Road’s rising per-sqft valuations.
Best fit: 2nd-floor MB / Corner shops (300–400 sqft). Highest yield-to-price ratio in the building.
3. The overseas Pakistani parking capital in Lahore commercial
UK, UAE, Saudi, US, Qatar-based buyers who want a PKR-denominated commercial asset in a recognisable Lahore address, managed remotely.
Best fit: kiosks or small 2nd/3rd-floor shops. Small ticket, clean paperwork, easy to add a second unit later. Invenza handles digital POA, remittance and quarterly progress reporting.
What to Check Before You Book
Five things every shop buyer should confirm in writing before signing the demand draft.
- LDA approval reference number. The project is listed as LDA-approved on Zameen, get the actual scheme reference on your booking file.
- Exact “Location Charges” percentage for your unit. MB, Corner and courtyard-facing units carry a premium that is not itemised on the base sheet, get the figure printed on your quotation.
- Anchor tenant strategy for your floor. A mall’s footfall depends on anchor tenants; supermarket, multiplex, food-court operators. Ask which anchors Kings has signed LOIs with for the floor you’re buying on.
- Written possession date on the booking form. 4-year plan implies ~2029 handover. Get the exact month printed, not verbal.
- The 8 bi-annual instalments modelled against your cash flow. On a PKR 5.11M shop, that’s PKR 255,500 every six months for four years. Confirm this fits your income before signing.

Real Buyer Questions
The questions we get on WhatsApp before someone books and the same phrases people type into Google when they’re close to a decision.
Q. “What’s the cheapest shop I can buy at Emirates Mall?”
A 65 sqft kiosk on the 3rd floor at PKR 1,950,000. Booking is PKR 195,000, monthly around PKR 10,156.
Q. “How much monthly for a 146 sqft shop?”
On the 1st floor (PKR 35,000/sqft), the monthly instalment is PKR 26,615. On the 2nd floor (PKR 32,000/sqft), it drops to PKR 24,333. On the 3rd floor (PKR 30,000/sqft, at 135 sqft), it’s PKR 21,094.
Q. “Which floor gives the best rental yield?”
Historically 2nd floor gives the best yield percentage — the rent gap between floors 1 and 2 is smaller than the price gap, so yield-to-price is best on the 2nd. Corner and MB variants outperform standard units on every floor.
Q. “What’s the difference between a shop and a kiosk?”
Shops are enclosed retail units from 146 sqft up; kiosks are 65 or 70 sqft freestanding retail carts on the mall floor. Kiosks are cheaper to enter and quicker to lease, but carry no walls and less storage.
Q. “Is Emirates Mall a good investment for commercial shops?”
For a shop investor, three things matter: the building has 600 residential units and hotel suites on the upper floors (built-in footfall), it sits inside Al Kabir Downtown (the largest commercial concentration on Raiwind Road), and Kings prices are locked at 2026 launch rates. That combination is favourable — the risk is on execution and possession-date discipline, which is why every buyer should get the LDA reference and written possession date on their booking form.
Q. “When is the shop handed over?”
4-year payment plan launched in 2026 implies handover around 2029. Ask for the projected month in writing at booking.
Q. “Is the project LDA approved?”
Yes — listed as LDA-approved on Zameen’s new-project directory. Request the exact scheme approval reference in writing at booking.
Q. “How much down payment do I need?”
10% at booking, another 10% at the confirmation (digging) phase. Functionally 20% within the first few months. On a PKR 5M shop, that is PKR 1M in the first cheque cycle.
Q. “Can I resell before possession?”
Yes — the shop’s file/allotment can be transferred to a new buyer against Kings’ transfer fee (typically a fixed amount plus a percentage of any premium). Most Lahore new-mall shops trade on secondary during construction. Get the exact transfer terms in writing.
Q. “Can overseas Pakistanis book a shop from abroad?”
Yes — via digital POA and bank remittance. Invenza handles on-the-ground representation, LDA verification, developer signing and quarterly progress reporting. Overseas buyers have booked commercial units in similar projects this way; the process is standard.
