DHA has sold plots in three ballots and no apartments. The master plan reserves 128 parcels for apartment buildings; this page is what the sheet says about them, so that a "pre-launch" pitch can be measured against the drawing.
The four footprints
| Parcel | CDA (55%) | DHA (45%) | Sub-total | Common | Total plots | Area (kanal) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2.78 Kanal · 125′ × 100′ | 0 | 0 | 0 | 5 | 5 | 0 |
| 5 Kanal · 125′ × 180′ | 11 | 9 | 20 | 13 | 33 | 88.40 |
| 5.55 Kanal · 125′ × 200′ | 22 | 18 | 40 | 13 | 53 | 192.34 |
| 8 Kanal · 180′ × 200′ | 11 | 9 | 20 | 17 | 37 | 148.22 |
| Total | 44 | 36 | 80 | 48 | 128 | 428.96 |
Note the "common" column: 48 of the 128 parcels are neither in the CDA share nor the DHA share, a far higher proportion than for plots (30 of 6,990). The five 2.78 Kanal parcels are all common. What "common" will mean for who develops them is not on the sheet.
Where they are
The parser found 28 "APARTMENTS" labels on the drawing. They cluster in three places: the western edge along the Northern Bypass Link Road and the Future Access reservation (the 8 Kanal parcels, marked on the sheet's legend as "8 Kanal Apts"); the run along the Southern Bypass Link Road above the Gumrah Kas; and the parcels beside the south-east commercial spine (the "5.55 Kanal Apts" arrow on the legend). None are inside the street grids, which matters if you are buying a plot and want to know what will overlook it — every street page gives the distance to the nearest apartment site.
What to check before paying for a flat
- Which parcel, by footprint and location on the sheet. A developer who cannot point to one does not have one.
- Whether the developer holds an allotment from DHA or CDA for that parcel, and which share it is in.
- Whether the building plan has DHA approval — clause 14 of the form makes possession conditional on design approval for plots, and buildings are no lighter.
- Payment into a named escrow, not a personal account. The patterns we have seen.
