Impact on Existing Kuri Model Village Allottees

Since CDA will hold 55% ownership of the project under the partnership agreement between CDA and DHA, it is committed to honoring previous allotments. Existing legitimate plot owners of Kuri Model Village will receive replacement plots in DHA Margalla Enclave. This ensures that genuine stakeholders will not face any issues. However, any fake allotments will be nullified, and unauthorized land occupations (qabza groups) will be removed from the area.

Impact on Neighboring Housing Schemes

The launch of DHA Margalla Enclave is set to significantly impact the surrounding areas, including Park Enclave, Bahria Enclave, and Park View City. We will explores some of the potential effects of DHA’s development on these neighboring housing societies.

Bahria Enclave

Residential plot prices in Bahria Enclave are currently lower than DHA Margalla Enclave’s launch prices. This price gap could drive more residential demand to Bahria Enclave as buyers seek affordable options. However, its commercial sector might struggle due to increased competition from DHA’s centrally located and well-planned commercial areas, which are expected to attract higher footfall and business activity.

Park View City

Park View City is also positioned to benefit from increased residential demand due to its lower plot prices compared to DHA Margalla Enclave. Improved connectivity and infrastructure spurred by DHA’s development will further enhance its appeal. However, its commercial sector may face challenges as businesses gravitate toward DHA’s superior commercial hubs. The overall appeal of DHA’s modern facilities might overshadow Park View City, especially for new buyers.

Park Enclave

Park Enclave faces a unique challenge. With property prices already high and almost comparable to DHA Margalla Enclave, but with lower development standards, it risks losing value unless significant upgrades are made. Buyers are likely to prefer DHA for its superior planning and amenities. Commercial property in Park Enclave may also lose traction as businesses prioritize DHA’s better-planned and more accessible commercial zones.

Conclusion

Margalla Enclave Islamabad is undoubtedly the most attractive housing project in Islamabad today due to its prime location on Jinnah Avenue, collaboration of CDA + DHA, and flexible payment plans. This project not only presents a lucrative investment opportunity for real estate investors, but also offers a modern housing development in the heart of Islamabad where you can feel the natural beauty of the capital city.

As there is huge demand for this project, and a limited number of plots will be given to general public through computerized ballot, you can expect high profit on the resale of these plots. It is recommended to apply for this property, and you may submit multiple applications to increase your chances, but this is the project worth investing in Islamabad today.
