CDA 55% / DHA 45% share of the developed plots on roughly 10,000 kanal in the Kuri area — that is how the joint venture was reported (Dawn, 11 February 2025). The master plan shows the split is physical: each plot is assigned to one share.

Units. Area is as printed on the sheet, in kanal. On our reading these are revenue kanals of 5,445 sq ft (8 to the acre), while the plot names use DHA’s smaller kanal of 500 sq yd (4,500 sq ft). That is why 2,281 plots named 1 Kanal show 1,887.32 kanal: 2,281 × 4,500 sq ft is about 1,885 revenue kanals. The sheet does not print the conversion; it is our arithmetic. The sheet’s own land-use table gives 3,746.28 kanal for residential plots, against 3,733.40 kanal in the residential table above, a gap of about 0.3%. The two kanals, explained.
Mega mall. The sheet’s table names the mall 126 Kanal. The same sheet’s map labels the large commercial parcel C52 as 103.72 K, and the EIA says 103.72 Kanal. Our reading is that these are one parcel in two kinds of kanal: 126 plot kanals of 4,500 sq ft is about 104 revenue kanals of 5,445 sq ft. That is our arithmetic, not a DHA statement.
What to make of it
Three things stand out. First, the split is applied by count within every size and category — 55/45 of the corner 1 Kanals, 55/45 of the 4 Marla commercials — so neither party got the better streets by design. Second, the special parcels break the pattern: the mega mall, the hotel plot, the 11 plots of 2.23 Kanal and the 17 plots in each of the two large 125′ commercial sizes are all "common" — 107 of the 389 commercial plots are common against 30 of 6,990 residential. The land with the most upside is the land the sheet leaves unallocated. Third, the areas confirm the count: 2,053.30 kanal of residential in the CDA share against 1,680.11 in the DHA share is 55.0/45.0 to the decimal.
For a buyer the practical question is only which share your plot is in and whose allotment letter you will hold. Allotment versus intimation rights is the bigger distinction; this one comes after it.

Questions people ask
What is the CDA share and the DHA share in Margalla Enclave?
The scheme is a CDA–DHA joint venture on a 55/45 split. The master plan applies the split plot by plot: 3,828 residential plots are in the CDA share, 3,132 in the DHA share, 30 are 'common'. Commercial and apartment parcels are split the same way.
Does it matter which share my plot is in?
It decides which authority's paper you hold at the end. The 3rd ballot was run by DHA for the joint venture, so the form and the process are DHA's either way — but ask, and get the share written on your allotment correspondence.
Which streets are CDA and which are DHA?
The sheet colours the share for each plot but prints no street-level list, and we have not reproduced the colouring plot by plot because it is not legible at web resolution. Ask DHA for the plot, and check the answer against the drawing.
