CDA to Launch Phase-II of One of the Hottest Housing Schemes in Islamabad

Following the launch of the Margalla Enclave housing scheme in partnership with the Defence Housing Authority (DHA), the Capital Development Authority (CDA) is now preparing to begin Phase II of the project.

The first phase, launched on 10,000 kanals of CDA-owned land in the Kuri area, was developed under a 55-45 joint venture model, with CDA providing the land and DHA handling all development work.

Now, the CDA Board has approved plans for the second phase of the scheme during its meeting held on Wednesday. According to officials, the new phase will be launched under Clause 42(f) of the Public Procurement Regulatory Authority (PPRA) Rules, which allows direct contracting between government entities.

This means CDA can move forward with Phase II in collaboration with any eligible government partner, selected through a legally defined process. While the specific partner has yet to be named, the authority emphasized that all rules and procedures will be strictly followed in choosing the entity.

According to reports, Phase II will be located next to Phase I and will span over 9,000 kanals of land.

“The CDA Board approved the development work of Margalla Enclave Phase-II under a joint venture and public-private partnership model in accordance with Clause 42-F of the PPRA Rules,” the CDA said in an official statement.
