Ask the developer or seller for the DHA allotment document relating to the commercial plot. This document helps establish to whom DHA allotted the plot and the recorded plot details, including its size. A DHA logo, marketing brochure, or statement in an advertisement is not a substitute for the underlying allotment document. Review the document carefully and have a property lawyer examine it before making a payment.
Commercial developments in DHA Phase 1 may occupy individual plots or multiple adjoining plots, such as Plot 6 and 6A or Plot 6B and 6C. Compare the plot numbers shown on the DHA allotment document with the numbers used in the project’s advertising and sales documentation. If a development spans multiple plots, ask for the relevant documentation explaining how the plots were combined and which approval covers the development. If the seller cannot clearly identify the plots, resolve that issue before proceeding.
Check the name of the allottee recorded on the DHA allotment document and establish the legal relationship between that party and the developer selling the units. If the developer is not the recorded allottee, request documented transfer rights, agreements, or other relevant authorization. Have your lawyer examine these documents and clarify what legal protections apply to your purchase if a dispute arises between the plot holder and developer. Do not rely solely on verbal assurances about ownership or development rights.
Request the approved building plan and compare it with the building being constructed or sold. Count the approved levels, including basements, lower ground, ground, and upper floors, as applicable. Then compare the plan with the actual building, advertised floors, and number of commercial units offered for sale. Any discrepancy should be explained and verified with DHA. A building with additional floors or units beyond the documented approval may expose buyers to regulatory and financial risks.
If a commercial project is advertised as completed, ask which completion or occupancy-related clearance DHA requires for that building and request the applicable document. Confirm its authenticity and scope with DHA or through your property lawyer. Physical completion, possession, and regulatory clearance are not necessarily the same thing. Buyers should establish whether the relevant approvals and clearances have been obtained before purchasing a unit in a finished development.
Take the plot numbers, allotment document, approved building plan, and any completion clearance to the relevant DHA office or department responsible for plot records and building plan approvals. Ask DHA to confirm the authenticity and applicability of the documents to the specific project. Buyers can carry out this verification themselves or appoint an independent property lawyer. The appropriate office, contact details, verification procedure, and any applicable fees should be confirmed through DHA’s official channels. Do not rely exclusively on the seller or the seller’s agent to verify the seller’s own claims.
Online property listings can become outdated even when the development itself has progressed. A completed building might still be advertised as under construction, and old installment schedules or payment terms may remain online. Request the latest written terms directly from the developer and compare them with the listing. Confirm the unit price, payment schedule, transfer charges, applicable DHA charges, maintenance costs, and the recipient of each payment. For a completed building, ask why installments remain outstanding, if applicable, and obtain a written explanation before committing.
Buraq Tower 2 is described as a commercial development on Plot 6 and 6A, Techno Park, Orchard Road, DHA Phase 1. The project information provided describes a basement, lower ground, ground floor, and five commercial floors, with 35 commercial units across approximately 35,000 square feet. Construction reportedly began in August 2025, with an original completion target of December 2026. The supplied project information states that the tower was completed and delivered in July 2026. Buyers should independently verify the construction and delivery status, plot details, and regulatory approvals before relying on these claims.
Before purchasing a commercial unit in Buraq Tower 2, request the following project-specific records and have them independently verified. The references and dates below have not been supplied in the information available for this article and must be completed using the actual documents.
DHA allotment reference and date: [ADD VERIFIED REFERENCE AND DATE]. Approved building plan reference and date: [ADD VERIFIED REFERENCE AND DATE]. Completion or applicable clearance document and date: [ADD VERIFIED DOCUMENT DETAILS AND DATE]. Confirm that these records correspond to Plot 6 and 6A, Techno Park, and cover the floors and units being sold. Do not publish these details as confirmed until the supporting documents have been checked.
The project information describes fire installations, customer and staff parking, 24-hour security guards, CCTV surveillance, centralized cooling, two imported lifts, and rooftop space intended for a restaurant. Buyers should inspect the actual facilities, establish which features are operational, and review the relevant safety and building documentation rather than treating a marketing description as independent confirmation.
Buraq Tower 3 is described as a commercial development on Plot 6B and 6C, Techno Park, DHA Phase 1. Before purchasing a unit, request the DHA allotment documentation, approved building plan, and the applicable construction or completion clearances. Confirm the project’s current construction and delivery status directly with the developer, then verify the relevant documents with DHA. Current project status, allotment references, building plan references, and clearance details have not been provided and should be added only after verification.
A property lawyer engaged by the buyer can review the allotment, transfer rights, building plan, applicable clearances, payment obligations, and unit-specific documentation. The lawyer should identify discrepancies between the records and the advertised property and explain any legal or financial risks before payment. Independent verification is particularly important when the developer, allottee, and seller are different parties. The aim is to establish what is documented and approved, rather than relying on promotional language.
Buraq Business Center’s office is located on the fifth floor of Buraq Tower 1, Business Bay, DHA Phase 1. Buyers can call +92 335 888 3111 or contact the team through WhatsApp to request information about the commercial projects. Ask for the DHA allotment and approved building plan first, and arrange independent verification before making a purchase decision.
