Margalla Enclave has opened commercial plots in 100, 133.25, 200 and 500 sq yds. The official FAQ lists allotment by computerised ballot. Processing fees are Rs 30,000 to Rs 60,000, non-refundable. Payment runs from lump sum to three years quarterly, and the plan cannot be changed once chosen. The project's own FAQ describes it as under development.
The CDA–DHA joint venture in Zone 4 Islamabad, on Jinnah Avenue, is accepting applications for commercial plots in four sizes, roughly 4 marla, 5 marla, 8 marla and 1 kanal. Residential plots continue at 125, 250 and 500 sq yds, priced against a market where 5 marla rates across Islamabad span nearly 7x by society. CNIC and NICOP holders are eligible, with no cap on applications per person.
Two things have changed from the previous round. The commercial size band has widened from a 2.0x spread to a 5.0x spread, adding both a smaller entry plot and a full-kanal category. And where the last round allocated commercial land by restricted auction with a refundable bid deposit, the site now lists ballot. Applicants should confirm the mechanism with DHA in writing before paying, because it decides whether the published price is a reserve or a fixed price.
Milkiyat.com finding: on a per-square-yard basis the fee ladder is regressive, Rs 300 at 100 sq yds, Rs 300.19 at 133.25, Rs 250 at 200 and Rs 120 at 500. Entry cost per yard falls 60 per cent across the range, so bulk applicants for the largest category pay least per yard to enter the draw. At 500 sq yds, the commercial fee is exactly three times the residential fee for identical area.
A successful ballot produces an allotment, not a registry — buyers unclear on that distinction should read our guide to registry vs file vs plot before committing. For how the scheme's commercial offer sits against its nearest DHA rival, see Margalla Enclave vs DHA Margalla Orchards; for the neighbouring private-sector benchmark, Park View City block-wise prices.
Buyers should obtain the payment plan in writing on DHA letterhead, including the unquantified late-payment surcharge, and pay only via pay order or demand draft to "Margalla Enclave" (NTN # F907422-6), KuickPay, or Askari Bank OTC challan. Project contact: UAN (051) 111-555-400 ext 1307.
