Tallest Buildings in Lahore (2026): Top 10 by Height and Upcoming Towers

The tallest completed building in Lahore is the Arfa Software Technology Park on Ferozepur Road, at about 106 metres and 17 floors (completed 2008). It is followed by Pace Tower and Indigo Heights at about 90 metres each. Lahore’s skyline is now changing fast: towers of 95 to 170 metres are completing or under construction after the LDA relaxed high-rise height and floor-area rules in Gulberg and the new Central Business District. Below is the current top 10, the projects that will overtake them, and what it takes to engineer a high-rise in Lahore.

Heights and floor counts are taken from the public list of tallest buildings in Lahore as of October 2026 and are rounded. ACCO did not design or build the towers listed here; they are included as an independent reference.

Top 10 Tallest Completed Buildings in Lahore

Askari Tower, Al Hafeez Heights and Chughtai Lab Tower are also listed at about 70 metres. Two newer towers, Madison Square Tower (about 95 m, 25 floors) and The Skyscraper (about 84 m, 21 floors), are recorded with 2026 dates; once completion is confirmed, Madison Square Tower would become Lahore’s second-tallest building.

About the Tallest Buildings

Arfa Software Technology Park

A Punjab government IT park on Ferozepur Road, built to house software companies and incubators. Its height has kept it at the top of Lahore’s list for nearly two decades.

Pace Tower and Indigo Heights

Both are listed at about 90 metres, completed in 2018 and 2020. Their floor counts differ (24 and 22 including basements), which shows how storey heights and basement levels change the floor count of towers with similar heights.

Hi-Q Tower

A mixed-use tower with three basement levels. Like several Lahore towers, its quoted floor count includes basements, which is why floors and height do not always line up.

Upcoming Towers That Will Change Lahore’s Skyline

Target years are developers’ or authorities’ listed dates and many high-rise projects in Pakistan run late. Treat them as planned, not confirmed.

Why Lahore Is Building Taller

• High-rise rule changes: the LDA has revised its building and zoning regulations to allow greater heights and floor-area ratios on wide commercial roads, especially in Gulberg and along main boulevards.
• Central Business District: the CBD Punjab project on the old Walton airport land is planned for high-density offices, hotels and residences.
• Land prices: scarce, expensive land in central Lahore makes vertical development the only way to make many projects viable.
• Mixed-use demand: retail podiums with offices or serviced apartments above suit both investors and buyers.

For the regulations in detail, read our guide to CBD Punjab and Gulberg high-rise bylaws, FAR and height rules.
