The new branch is at Building 68, Block D3, WAPDA Town Phase 1, Lahore. It is a boys-only residence in WAPDA Town with capacity for 80 residents. VIP Spaces runs other branches in Lahore; this one is set up as an executive-style building with a lawn and shared common areas.
What's opening, and where
Who the location suits
The building is close to Main Khayaban-e-Jinnah, so daily errands — banks, pharmacies, supermarkets, food and public transport — are nearby.
For students, the nearest campuses by straight-line distance are:
| Campus | Distance | Walking |
|---|---|---|
| University of Central Punjab (UCP) | 0.7 km | about 8 min |
| Bahria University Lahore | 2.8 km | about 34 min |
| University of Education Lahore | 3.2 km | about 38 min |
UCP students can walk; for Bahria and UoE a bike or rickshaw ride is a few minutes. Working residents have the shops, offices and transport routes along Khayaban-e-Jinnah close by.
Rooms and what's in them
Rooms are 3-seater shared rooms. Each resident gets:
- a bed and a mattress with fleece
- a personal cupboard with a lock
- a study table and storage space
At launch (November 2026), a seat in a 3-seater was listed at Rs 13,500 a month, with electricity and Sui gas included. Check the listing for current rent and open seats before you visit.
Kitchen and food
Residents who cook have a shared kitchen with a microwave, refrigerator, cooking stove, preparation space and storage.
Residents who don't cook can use a pay-per-meal food facility next to the hostel instead of a fixed monthly mess. At launch it charged about Rs 80 for breakfast (paratha with channay) and Rs 130 for lunch or dinner (a salan with two rotis — options such as daal channa, aloo palak and matar qeema). You pay per meal, so there is no monthly food subscription; food is not included in the rent.
Utilities, internet and security
- Filtered drinking water and water dispensers
- Geysers for hot water
- UPS backup during load-shedding
- Internet available around the clock
- CCTV across the building and controlled entry
- A lawn for residents to study or unwind outdoors
- Parking inside the premises — available, but limited, so ask before you bring a car
Before you book: what to ask
Whichever hostel you pick, a short visit and a few direct questions save trouble later. For VIP Spaces, confirm:
- The exact rent and what it covers — electricity and gas are included; ask whether there is any cap or extra charge for AC or heaters.
- Security deposit and notice period — how much, and how much notice you need to give before leaving.
- Food timings at the pay-per-meal facility, if you won't be cooking.
- Parking, if you have a car or bike — space is limited.
- House rules — gate timings, guests and kitchen use.

A message from the founder
The following message was written by Shahnawaz Ahmed, Founder of VIP Spaces, and is published as provided.
When I first started VIP Spaces, I wasn't thinking about buildings, beds, or business growth. I was thinking about people.
I was thinking about thousands of young men and professionals who leave their hometowns every year to come to Lahore with dreams in their hearts and uncertainty in their minds. Many arrive from small cities and towns across Punjab, carrying little more than a suitcase, a few savings, and the hope of building a better future for themselves and their families.
I understand that journey. Leaving home is never easy. The excitement of a new beginning often comes with loneliness, anxiety, and the challenge of adjusting to a completely new environment. Finding a safe place to live becomes one of the biggest concerns for every student, job holder, and newcomer.
That is why VIP Spaces was founded. Our vision has always been simple: to create a place where people do not feel like tenants, but feel like guests, family, and members of a caring community.
Today, I am proud to say that VIP Spaces has had the privilege of hosting residents from more than 100 cities across Punjab. From the bustling streets of Faisalabad and Multan to the historic cities of Sialkot, Gujranwala, Bahawalpur, Sargodha, Jhang, Okara, Sheikhupura, Vehari, Rahim Yar Khan, and countless others, individuals from every corner of the province have trusted us with something incredibly valuable: their comfort, safety, and peace of mind.
Every resident who walks through our doors has a unique story. Some arrive to pursue higher education. Some come for their first job. Others move to Lahore chasing opportunities they have dreamt about for years. Seeing these individuals grow, succeed, graduate, secure careers, build businesses, and achieve their goals is one of the greatest rewards of this journey.
At VIP Spaces, we believe that a room is more than four walls. It is where future doctors prepare for exams. It is where engineers work late into the night on their projects. It is where entrepreneurs plan their next venture. It is where professionals recharge after long working days. Most importantly, it is where dreams are nurtured.
The launch of our new WAPDA Town branch with an 80-bed capacity is not simply another expansion. It represents our continued commitment to welcoming more guests from across Punjab and providing them with a place they can proudly call their second home in Lahore.
As we continue to grow, our mission remains unchanged. We will continue striving to provide safe accommodation, modern facilities, a supportive environment, and the warmth of genuine hospitality to every guest who chooses VIP Spaces.
To every student, professional, parent, and family that has placed their trust in us, I extend my heartfelt gratitude. Your trust inspires us every day. And to those who will join us in the future, welcome to VIP Spaces. No matter which city you come from, when you arrive here, you are home.
With gratitude,
Shahnawaz Ahmed, Founder, VIP Spaces
