Why Voortgang Chose The Vertical – A CEO’s Testimonial on the Best Tech Office Space in Lahore

When I moved Voortgang’s office to the 94 Business Center, I wasn’t just looking for a desk and four walls. I was looking for a strategic advantage—the kind that makes hiring easier, keeps operations smooth, and creates an environment where my team actually wants to show up.

And that’s exactly what I found.

If you run a tech company in Lahore, here’s why you should seriously consider setting up shop at 94 Business Center or V2 Business Center by The Vertical:

1. First-Mover Advantage in the Area

Most major tech players are crammed on the other side of Lahore (Bhatta Chowk), leaving this side wide open. That’s an opportunity.

If I can pay just as well as those companies but offer engineers and designers a shorter commute, I win. And the numbers back it up—big residential areas like Lake City, Wapda Town, Valencia Town, and DHA Rahbar are all full of tech talent who’d love to work closer to home. Moving to the 94 business center meant I could raise the quality of my team– and that’s how I justified the moving costs to my board as well.

2. Great Connectivity

Being right next to the Ring Road interchange means my team can get almost anywhere in Lahore within 30 minutes. Client meetings, vendor visits, or just a stress-free commute—this is an ideal location without the traffic jams of Gulberg.

3. Zero Downtime With Double Backup Power

Every founder in Pakistan has PTSD from power outages. Most buildings have one backup system, but The Vertical has two. If the first fails, the second kicks in automatically. That means zero downtime, no lost code, and no "Sorry, my WiFi was down" excuses from the team.

4. Security That Lets You Sleep at Night

A tech company isn’t just laptops and desks—it’s sensitive data, expensive equipment, and a team that needs to feel safe. The Vertical has AI-powered CCTV monitoring and top-tier security to make sure you don’t have to worry about any of that.

5. Smart Office Management Through the App

Facility management is seamless here. Need to pay rent? Book maintenance? Everything runs through The Vertical’s app—no back-and-forth calls, no unnecessary delays. One-tap payments, smooth issue resolution, and zero friction.

6. The Most Supportive Real Estate Team You’ll Ever Meet

I’ve worked in buildings where landlords disappear after signing the lease. That’s not The Vertical. Their team is proactive, friendly, and actually cares. Need an introduction to their in-house real estate consultancy, property management, or fit-out services? Done.

This isn’t just an office—it’s a 360-degree real estate service where they handle everything from setting up your office to managing it long-term.

7. Eats, Banks, and a Vibe That Doesn’t Suck

The ground floor has great food, banking facilities, and a solid ambience. My team doesn’t have to order in every day or step out of the building just to grab a decent coffee. The result? More productivity and a better office culture.

8. You’ll Be Sitting Among Giants

Your neighbors? General Electric, ADEX 360, and the largest Chinese chemical manufacturer in Pakistan. It’s a different energy when you’re surrounded by companies that are actually doing things instead of a random mix of retail shops and ghost offices.

9. Smog? I’ll Breathe Clean Air, Thanks.

Lahore’s air quality is a seasonal disaster, and most office buildings don’t do anything about it. The Vertical’s buildings have HVAC systems that actually filter the air, which means I’m not breathing in a chemical cocktail every winter. If your team’s health and productivity matter, this alone should be reason enough to move.

The Bottom Line

If you run a tech company, your office isn’t just a place to sit—it’s a strategic decision.

With first-mover hiring advantages, seamless office management, ironclad security, a friendly and responsive team, and air you can actually breathe, The Vertical makes that decision easy.

I moved Voortgang here because it gave me a competitive edge. If you want the same, you know where to look.
