Every Margalla Enclave development that changes prices, paperwork or timelines — dated, sourced,
and linked to the guide that explains it. No recycled press releases: if an entry is here, we either read
the primary document or pulled DHA’s own portal ourselves. Last full review 28 August 2026;
updated within hours when official announcements land — the ballot-result day especially.
The log
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) — 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
1st 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 Park Road underpass opening — the corridor’s access story.
- Further possession phases beyond ME-2’s first streets — the project’s
execution record, extended or broken.
