Commercial in Margalla Enclave is priced by the square yard and by how high you may build. The form prints both. What it does not print is how close the masterplan’s commercial land sits to the CDA limit: 4.91% of the scheme for plots alone against a maximum of 5%, or 6.04% with parking. The land-use section below has the detail.

DHA Application-Form.pdf, dated 14 August 2026, read 1 September 2026. Prices are exclusive of applicable DHA charges and government taxes. — the form’s own footnote
Down payment is 20% on every instalment plan, due within 30 days of the draw (27 on the 2-year plan as printed). The draw was on 15 September 2026. DHA’s banner on dhai-r.com.pk, posted 23 October 2026, gave Margalla Enclave members until 4 November 2026 to complete the down payment, and that date has passed. It does not name a ballot or separate residential from commercial plots; we read it as covering the 3rd ballot, drawn on 15 September 2026. DHA’s home page showed no later date on 5 November 2026. Clause 7 of the form says an unpaid allotment is cancelled automatically and the processing fee is forfeited, so if you won and have not paid, ask DHA where you stand: 051-111-555-400, extension 1307.
Clause 13 also adds a premium for preferred categories such as corner or boulevard plots: typically 10% for one category, 15% maximum combined, decided by DHA’s management. How the plans work · Run the numbers.
How much commercial there is, and why it matters
The environmental assessment and the master plan sheet both print 389 commercial plots, including two petrol pumps, a hotel plot and a mega mall. (The EIA’s own rows add to 392; we use the total both documents print.) Set against 6,990 residential plots that is about one commercial plot for every eighteen houses.
In land-use terms, commercial plots and their parking take 604.11 kanal, 6.04% of the scheme; plots alone are 4.91% against a CDA maximum of 5%, and the table does not say which of the two the 5% applies to. On our reading that leaves little room in this plan for more commercial land, which is a point in favour of the plots that exist — and a reason to be sceptical of any “new commercial block” story. The land-use table against CDA standards.
Where the commercial plots are
The environmental assessment (section 3.7) says the commercial district is positioned around the lake. It gives no block for any commercial plot, and we have found none in DHA’s documents. Dealers market ME-1 and ME-4 with the 5 and 10 Marla plots and ME-2, ME-3 and the Lake District with the 1 Kanal plots, so a seller who names the block of a commercial plot is repeating a dealer label: ask DHA to confirm it. DHA’s portal lists the Lake District, Bazar-e-Bazurg and the Jacaranda Family Club as “signature destinations”. It says only that the Lake District is “set to offer” a waterfront; it does not say whether the heritage-style bazaar or the club is built, and we have found no completion notice for either. DHA held its first ballot, on 24 February 2025, at a Jacaranda Family Club in DHA Phase-2, and the description of its video of the 15 September 2026 ballot says it was live from Imperial Hall, Jacaranda Family Club Islamabad. The portal does not say whether its club listing is that building or a new one inside Margalla Enclave. Ask what is built beside a commercial plot before you pay for its position. Block by block.
What to verify on a commercial plot specifically
- The floors-allowed line on the allotment, not on the dealer’s message. LG+G+1 and LG+G+5 are different buildings and different rents.
- Whether the plot was auctioned or balloted, and at what hammer price if auctioned — the resale premium is measured from that, not from the form.
- Frontage and position relative to the 300-ft Jinnah Avenue. In a scheme where commercial land is capped, position is most of the value.
- The same nine checks as any residential plot, in the same order.
Questions people ask
What sizes are commercial plots in Margalla Enclave?
The 3rd-ballot form lists 100, 133.25, 200 and 500 sq yd commercial plots. The 100 and 133.25 sq yd plots allow lower-ground plus ground plus one, or ground plus two; the 200 and 500 sq yd plots allow lower-ground plus ground plus five, or ground plus six.

From PKR 81,450,625 lump sum for 100 sq yd to PKR 342,950,000 for 500 sq yd on the form dated 14 August 2026, exclusive of DHA charges and taxes. The 3-year plan runs from PKR 95,000,000 to PKR 400,000,000.
How many commercial plots are there?
389, the total printed both in Table 3.1 of the Pak-EPA environmental assessment and on the master plan sheet. That includes two petrol pumps, a hotel plot and a mega mall. The EIA’s own rows add to 392, so the table has an arithmetic slip; we use the printed total.
Were commercial plots auctioned or balloted?
The second round on 20 November 2025 was a balloting for residential plots and a digital auction for commercial plots, held at Jinnah Convention Centre. The 3rd-ballot form prints commercial prices as a schedule, and its clause 4 says plot allotment is by computerised ballot. DHA’s video of the 15 September 2026 ceremony is described as the results of balloting of residential plots and commercial plots, and the portal FAQ lists commercial plots as “Allotment through Ballot”.
