The log
20 Sep 2026
Park Road underpass opens to traffic — confirmed by a second outlet. Islamabad Scene independently confirms the Park Road crossing beside Margalla Enclave — it calls it “the Margalla Enclave Underpass” — has opened to traffic, after CDA missed its 30 July target; the associated works were originally scheduled for August and the timeline was extended. Full dated timeline and what is still unconfirmed (the rest of the Rs. 10 billion Park Road package): underpass status & route.
18 Sep 2026
Park Road underpass opens to traffic — ProPakistani. ProPakistani reports the underpass “has finally opened for traffic after months of delays”, citing video of vehicles using it; a quoted post says it gives access toward DHA Margalla Enclave, Park View City and Bahria Enclave. Part of what the report calls “the Rs. 10 billion Park Road infrastructure project”, which also includes an overhead structure, service roads and other road infrastructure — not yet confirmed finished. Full dated timeline: underpass status & route.
4 Sep 2026
Application window closes today (advertised) — next: the draw, historically ten days out. DHA never published 4 September on any of its own surfaces; the market is working to a dealer date, and the 2nd ballot’s deadline was extended once. Both earlier draws came exactly ten days after close (24 Feb 2025, 20 Nov 2025). The working checker is on the bare host dhai-r.com.pk/margalla-enclave-ballot/. Read before the draw: winners’ next steps · not selected — the refund myth · file for sale, priced and dated. Want the result the hour it drops? The WhatsApp alert button is on every ballot page.
2 Sep 2026
Two days to the close — and DHA has never published the closing date at all. We re-checked every DHA surface today: the project portal, the parent site (including the bare hostname that gets past the bot challenge blocking www.), DHA’s own public-notice gallery and the press. No official DHA page states a closing date for the 3rd ballot. Every “4 September 2026” in circulation — including on this site until today — traces back to real-estate marketing pages. Nothing suggests the date has moved; it has simply never been published by the authority running the ballot. Precedent matters here: DHA extended the second ballot’s deadline once already, from 3 to 10 November 2025. Call 051-111-555-400 before you buy a pay order. Bigger operational find: DHA’s CNIC/NICOP/POC result checker is live at dhai-r.com.pk/margalla-enclave-ballot/ — the non-www host — while the URL Google ranks still returns 404. Live status and how to check · how to apply, step by step · what the odds really are.

Correction: the 20 November 2025 ballot was the second, not the first. Our pages described the 20 November 2025 draw at the Jinnah Convention Centre as this project’s first ballot. It was the second. The first was drawn on 24 February 2025 at the Jacaranda Family Club in DHA Phase-2, against roughly 47,000 applications for 125, 250 and 500 sq yd plots, after a 14 February 2025 close. Corrected everywhere it appeared. The correction has a use beyond tidiness: both completed rounds ran exactly ten days from the close of applications to the draw, which is the only evidence-based thing anyone can say about when a third-ballot draw might land.
29 Aug 2026
For overseas applicants: we read the official application form — NICOP eligibility and the payment caveat, documented. Six days before the close, we parsed DHA’s official application form end to end for the overseas case: NICOP holders are eligible in the form’s own words (clause 2, with a dedicated overseas passport field), there is no overseas quota or discount whatever dealer pages imply, and the one honest caveat is the fee channel — nothing official confirms KUICKPAY accepts foreign cards, so pay from your own Pakistani account or through a trusted person. The complete from-abroad walkthrough, with the 30-day winner’s clock and refund clauses: Margalla Enclave for overseas Pakistanis.
28 Aug 2026
The official 3rd-ballot price schedule, pulled from DHA’s own portal and transcribed. We fetched DHA’s Margalla Enclave portal and put the current schedule on the record: 5 Marla lump sum PKR 21,434,375 (3-year plan 25,000,000), 10 Marla 42.0–49.0 million, 1 Kanal 72.9–85.0 million — exclusive of DHA charges and taxes, 20% down within 30 days of ballot. That is up ~38% on launch lump sums, with the same 16–17% three-year financing premium. Full table and both official images: the payment-plan guide. The official location map came from the same pull.
28 Aug 2026
No balloting or result date exists — despite the dates dealer pages are printing. We checked for an official 3rd-ballot draw date and found none: no DHA or CDA notification names one, and the November dates circulating on dealer sites and YouTube trace back to the first ballot (20 Nov 2025, Jinnah Convention Centre — the SECOND ballot; the first was drawn 24 Feb 2025) — not this round. The portal’s own Ballot Result section sat locked when we checked (exactly right — there is nothing to check yet). Precedent from the 2nd round: balloting in November, results in December, down-payment deadline 24 Dec. We update this log within hours of any official date.
28 Aug 2026
One week to the close — applications end Friday, 4 September. The application window — residential and commercial both, a first for this project — closes 4 September 2026. No extension has been announced. The paperwork (NICOP/CNIC, banking channel, POA if someone acts for you) takes days, not hours: how to apply · or what the files market offers instead.
21 May 2026
Possession ceremony: ME-2’s first streets delivered — the 11-month claim, photographed. The CDA-DHA possession ceremony for block ME-2’s first streets — the stage billed it “record-breaking possession in only 11 months” after the first ballot. We publish the photo and the claim as staged, precedent-not-promise: after the ballot.
Jul–Aug 2026
Park Road underpass: opening target missed, works continue. CDA’s 30-July opening target for the corridor’s key access upgrade passed with work ongoing — it serves the Margalla Enclave approach as directly as Bahria Enclave’s. Tracked in location & access.
Dec 2025
2nd-ballot results — the timeline template this round will likely follow. Balloting ran November 2025, results landed December, and winners’ down-payment deadline was 24 December — the weeks-not-days rhythm to expect after 4 September. Reported resale premiums on winning files conflicted between sources (PKR 3.5–4.5M vs 8–9M for 5 Marla) — both discussed honestly in after the ballot.
20 Nov 2025
2nd ballot held at Jinnah Convention Centre. Blocks ME-1 to ME-4 plus Lake District balloted; the project’s published-price, computerised-ballot structure ran exactly as designed — the structure explained: the hub.
What we are watching (and will publish within hours)
- The 3rd-ballot draw and result dates — officially unannounced; we check DHA’s
portal, not rumours. When the result lands, this log, the ballot guide and
after the ballot update the same day.
- Any extension of the 4-September close — none announced as of 28 Aug.
- The rest of the Rs. 10 billion Park Road package — the underpass itself opened to
traffic mid-Sept 2026, but CDA has not confirmed the overhead structure and service roads reportedly bundled
with it are finished. Full status.
- Further possession phases beyond ME-2’s first streets — the project’s
execution record, extended or broken.
