The structure of Gulshan-e-Hadeed was carefully designed by Russian engineers.

The core of the area is made up of small "A" block houses, which are the most numerous type. By now, the houses facing the main artery of the area have been commercialized by owners, so now shops are present on both sides of the main road that passes through the area.
