KHAN MARKET 

Khan market was established in 1951 it was named after Khan Abdul Jabbar Khan (brother of Khan Abdul Gaffar Khan ) has been ranked as the costliest retail location in India. He made the market to settle the immigrants from the North-West Frontier during the partition of India. In 2010, it was rated the world's 21st most expensive retail high street by real estate firm Cushman & Wakefield of New York (2011). 

Khan Abdul Jabbar Khan

Khan market is located in the heart of Delhi,a U-Shaped double story market.Initially there were 154 shops and 74 flats on the first floor for shopkeepers.Gradually, the real estate boom and expanding families of the first generation of occupants forced many families to move out. Thus these homes were sold and started being converted into shops. By the 2010s, only a few families were living in these two-room flats.there are grocery stores and middle-class shops existed in the middle lane, despite the fact it catered most up to upmarket Golf links, Sundar Nagar and diplomatic crowd from Chanakayapuri.
