CDA Cancels Centaurus Mall’s Temporary Site Permission

The Capital Development Authority (CDA) has cancelled permission for a temporary site allocated to the management of Centaurus Mall and directed it to vacate the land within seven days of receiving the notice.

The notice, dated September 11, 2026, concerns an approximately eight kanal site near Plot No. 1 in Islamabad’s Blue Area. The land had been allocated for temporary site and marketing offices linked to the plot.

According to the CDA, an inspection found labor accommodation in containers, toilets, a temporary mosque, badminton courts and construction material at the site. The authority said no marketing offices were found and that the observed uses violated the conditions of the permission.

The CDA also said the two-year permission had expired without renewal. It withdrew the permission with immediate effect and directed the management to pay outstanding dues of Rs. 48.45 million.

The authority warned that it would clear the land at the management’s risk and expense if it was not vacated within seven days.

The notice applies to the temporary site and does not concern Centaurus Mall as a whole.
