Overview
Bahria Enclave is a large residential project in Islamabad’s Zone 4 area, developed by M/s Bahria Town (Pvt.) Ltd. CDA’s housing-society page lists the owner as Bahria Town and the scheme area at 12,543.11 kanals, while also noting approval history and current status information.
It is best described as a mature, partly fully developed housing community rather than a new launch. However, the March 2026 CDA notice shows the project remains under active scrutiny for land-use and layout-plan violations. Buyers should verify any specific plot’s paperwork and possession status before paying or constructing.
Location & Access
Bahria Enclave is located in Zone 4 of Islamabad Capital Territory, near Chak Shahzad, Park Road, Kuri Road, and Jinnah Avenue / Simly Dam Road access corridors. Multiple sources also describe access from Kashmir Highway, Islamabad Highway, and Lehtrar Road — in practical buyer terms, it sits in the southern Zone 4 belt between central Islamabad and the hills.
Blue Area travel time is commonly cited by market guides at about 30–40 minutes, but exact timing varies with route and traffic; no official authority source provides a precise daily commute figure.
| Landmark | Distance | Approx. travel time |
|---|
| Chak Shahzad | About 8 km | About 10–15 minutes |
| Blue Area | About 22 km | About 30–40 minutes |
| Rawalpindi Ring Road | Not publicly confirmed (Aug 2026) | Not publicly confirmed |
| Nearest motorway interchange | Not publicly confirmed (Aug 2026) | Not publicly confirmed |
Area, Blocks & Plot Inventory
CDA’s notice states the approved layout plan covered 12,543.11 kanals for 85,823 residential plots. Market guides describe Phase 1 as a 15-sector layout, usually referenced as sectors A through P, with Sector J as the dedicated commercial sector. Some sources also mention a Phase 2 / Bahria Hills expansion, but public official confirmation is limited.
| Block / Sector | What’s known |
|---|
| Sector A | Commonly described as fully developed and among the most expensive resale areas. |
| Sectors B / C | Generally described as largely developed and possession-oriented in market guides. |
| Sectors F / G / K / L / O / P | Often described as partial or active development zones with lower entry prices and more variance by plot. |
| Sector J | Commercial-focused sector in public buyer guides. |
| Sectors M / N | Often described as advanced or more established residential pockets. |
| Plot size | Type |
|---|
| 5 Marla | Residential; common entry size in market listings. |
| 8 Marla | Residential; available in some blocks. |
| 10 Marla | Residential; widely traded across the society. |
| 1 Kanal | Residential. |
| 2 Kanal | Residential in select blocks; premium inventory. |
| Commercial 4 / 5 / 8 Marla | Commercial units reported in market guides. |
History & Development Timeline
Bahria Enclave is widely described as launched in July 2011 by Bahria Town. CDA later approved the revised layout plan on 29 December 2020, issued an NOC on 8 April 2022, and then in March 2026 served a notice alleging breaches of the approved layout and construction on CDA land.
- 2011 — Project launch by Bahria Town.
- 2020 — Revised layout plan approval referenced by CDA.
- 2022 — CDA NOC issued, subject to terms and conditions.
- 2026 — CDA notice cites alleged violations and compliance failures.
Developer / Owner Details
The developer/owner is M/s Bahria Town (Pvt.) Ltd.; CDA’s housing-society page lists that ownership explicitly. Public project marketing from Bahria Town also brands Bahria Enclave as one of its Islamabad communities.
Other Bahria Town projects in the broader portfolio include Bahria Town Rawalpindi and Bahria Town Lahore, but this page focuses on the Islamabad scheme only. For compliance, the most important point is that CDA’s current page and its March 2026 notice do not present a clean, controversy-free status.
NOC/LOP status: LOP approved. CDA’s page currently shows NOC “Not Issued” as of late 2025, while the March 16, 2026 CDA notice says an NOC was issued on 08-04-2022 and remains valid until 07-04-2028 unless withdrawn for non-compliance. That discrepancy should be verified with current CDA records before any transaction.
Detailed Pricing
Pricing is highly block-specific and changes frequently. The ranges below are indicative as of August 2026, compiled from current market pages — verify every file/plot at the time of transaction.
Publicly accessible sources do not provide a clean, official developer installment schedule for all undeveloped blocks. Dealer-quoted booking or quarterly plans should be treated as unverified unless the seller provides original documents.
| Plot size | Approx. price (PKR) | Price per marla | Variance notes |
|---|
| 5 Marla | 65 lakh – 1.20 Cr | 13.0 – 24.0 lakh | Lower in outer sectors; higher on corner/possession-ready plots. |
| 8 Marla | 1.0 – 1.6 Cr | 12.5 – 20.0 lakh | Narrower availability; developed sectors at a premium. |
| 10 Marla | 1.5 – 4.5 Cr | 15.0 – 45.0 lakh | Wide spread by sector; Sector A and developed pockets much higher. |
| 1 Kanal | 2.8 – 8.0 Cr | 14.0 – 40.0 lakh | Premium in developed, hill-view, or commercial-adjacent locations. |
| 2 Kanal | 5.5 – 7.0 Cr | 13.75 – 17.5 lakh | Rare inventory; typically upper-end resale only. |
Construction & Standards
CDA’s notice says all buildings in the scheme are subject to CDA building regulations and that building plans must be submitted for approval. It also states that possession of individual plots should not be handed over until the scheme is fully developed and a completion certificate has been obtained.
For utilities, CDA says the sponsor is responsible for independent water supply and primary sewage treatment. Market updates suggest electricity is available, water is partially available, and gas is only partially available in some streets — with no society-wide official gas confirmation for every block.
Society-specific construction cost data is not officially published. As a working 2026 market reference, turnkey construction in this region is often discussed around PKR 7,000–8,800 per sq ft for standard builds, rising for premium finishes. Use our Cost Estimator below for a personalised range.

Who Should Buy Here
End users who want a settled community
Buyers who value an already recognizable neighborhood, developed roads in some blocks, and the Bahria Town lifestyle can still find suitable options here.
Long-term investors
Investors willing to accept legal and pricing volatility may see opportunity in underpriced or early-development pockets — but only after paper verification.
Mid-to-upper budget families
Bahria Enclave suits buyers who can stretch beyond entry-level Islamabad prices and want residential rather than pure-file investment.
Commercial buyers
Sector J and other commercial pockets can suit businesses targeting a branded housing-society catchment, but footfall varies by location.
Comparison with Similar Societies
| Society | Price per marla (approx.) | NOC status | Development stage | Best for |
|---|
| Bahria Enclave | PKR 13–45 lakh | Disputed / under challenge; CDA sources conflict. | Mixed: mature pockets plus active sectors. | Branded Zone 4 community seekers. |
| Park View City | PKR 11–22 lakh | Verify separately before transacting. | Mature in some blocks, developing in others. | Value-seeking end users and investors. |
| DHA Margalla Enclave | PKR 31–56 lakh (developer inventory) | Joint CDA/DHA backing reported in 2026 coverage. | Fast-developing / early possession. | Buyers prioritising formal authority backing. |
| Bahria Town Phase 8 | PKR 50 lakh – 2.5 Cr by block | Different project; verify separately. | Very mature, heavily occupied. | Established-city buyers and resale focus. |
Bottom line
Bahria Enclave is a strong fit for buyers who want a recognizable Islamabad community with real on-ground development in several sectors and can handle a careful legal check. It is not the right fit for anyone who wants a low-risk, cleanly undisputed approval status without doing document verification. Publish and purchase decisions should account for the latest CDA material, which includes both prior NOC references and a fresh compliance notice.
