The towers stand on the Sea View road with the Arabian Sea in front, at the edge of DHA Phase 5 where it meets Clifton. Dolmen Mall Clifton is on one side and Sea View McDonald’s on the other, so shopping, cafés and the beach promenade are on your doorstep. DHA Enclave is planned as a gated community in Karachi’s growing harbourfront district.

Ocean Mall and the Zamzama, Shahbaz and Bukhari commercial areas are close by for shopping and dining. South City Hospital, Park Lane Hospital and PNS Shifa are the nearest hospitals. For schools and universities, Karachi Grammar School, The Lyceum, The City School, Beaconhouse, the Indus Valley School of Art and Architecture, SZABIST and Greenwich University are all in the surrounding area.
Mai Kolachi Bypass, Khayaban-e-Jami, Gizri Road and E-Street are the main roads around the site. DHA Golf Club, the Marina Club, the Creek Club, Beach View Club, Teen Talwar, Nisar Shaheed Park and Legends Arena are nearby for sport and leisure.
The Trillium is a joint venture of DHA Karachi and FWO, but a building-plan approval number, NOC or permit date has not been published yet. A DHA Karachi partnership is not the same as a published approval. Before you pay a booking amount, ask the sales office for the approval letter and check it with the developer and the approving authority for DHA Phase 5. We will add the authority, number and date here as soon as they are public.
Every unit type is on the same plan: 20% up front in three steps, 70% in 16 quarterly instalments over 4 years, and the last 10% on possession. Possession is on completion of the payment plan, about 4 years of quarterly instalments after the up-front payments. The full price is paid by the time you get the keys, which suits buyers who can fund steady quarterly payments rather than a small deposit and a large final sum.

Rates are on gross area, which includes walls and a share of the common parts of the floor. A 3,465 sq ft 3-bed gives you about 2,600 sq ft of living space, and a 1,887 sq ft 2-bed about 1,400 sq ft. Compare net areas, not only the rate per sq ft, when you weigh The Trillium against other projects.
Our take: The Trillium offers what few Karachi towers can: a beachfront plot on Sea View, the backing of a DHA Karachi and FWO joint venture, and an amenity deck and Sky Villas that suit buyers who want a new, managed tower by the sea. The 3-bed standard unit is priced about 57% above eight ready apartments nearby, and its estimated rental yield is low. It fits families who will live in it or hold it for the long term better than buyers who need rental income. The main open points are an approval number that has not been published yet and no calendar date for possession beyond the end of the payment plan.
| Measure | Figure |
| Price per sq ft | PKR 56,000 per sq ft (3,465 sq ft, PKR 194,040,000) |
| Compared with ready units nearby | Ready units nearby average about PKR 35,779 per sq ft, so this unit is priced about 57% above ready-unit prices. |
| Gross rental yield today | Estimated gross rental yield at today’s rents: 2.2%. |
| Net rental yield at possession (before income tax) | 1.9%, after maintenance, vacancy, agent fees, property tax and repairs. |
| Payment plan | 10% down payment; 100% of the price is paid by possession. |
Figures are for the 3-bed standard unit on its gross area of 3,465 sq ft (about 2,600 sq ft net).
We compared eight ready apartments listed in DHA Phase 5 Extension, Creek Vista and Emaar Crescent Bay, asking PKR 20,000 to 49,423 per sq ft; the average is about PKR 35,779. Several of them are older or further from the beach, while the Emaar towers are sea-facing. Asking prices and area definitions vary, so treat the gap as approximate.

Analysis as of November 2026, prepared from the developer’s documents. See how we analyse projects.
Each floor has four sides: Sea, City, Dolmen Mall and McDonald’s. The towers are designed so every residence gets a view of the sea. How much sea you see depends on the side and floor, so ask which way the exact unit faces before you choose.
2-bed residences (floors 8–16). The lowest entry point. Type A is a corner unit of 1,882 sq ft gross (about 1,400 sq ft net). It has an 18.3 by 13.9 ft master bedroom, a 24 by 11 ft living and dining area and a 16 by 4.6 ft master terrace. Type B is 1,887 sq ft gross (about 1,400 sq ft net) in a middle (non-corner) position at a lower rate. It adds a maid and utility room, a powder room and a built-in microwave, around a 21.9 by 12.6 ft living and dining area.

3-bed Gold with terrace (17th floor). Built for people who entertain outdoors. At 3,775 sq ft gross (about 2,990 sq ft net), it has an open terrace of about 310 sq ft set up for barbecue and seating. Inside are three bedrooms, a lounge, a dining room, a drawing room, a main kitchen with a separate grease kitchen, and a maid room.
3-bed residences (floors 18–33). The same large family layout without the terrace, at 3,465 sq ft gross (about 2,600 sq ft net) and PKR 56,000 per sq ft against PKR 61,500 for the Gold. The lounge is 21.3 by 12.6 ft and the dining room 18.6 by 13 ft, with a drawing room, a maid room and a powder room.

4-bed Duplex Gold (floors 34–35). Two levels separate living and sleeping. The home is 5,760 sq ft gross (about 4,430 sq ft net), with a viewing deck of about 410 sq ft, a jacuzzi and a private cocktail pool on the terrace.

4-bed Duplex (floors 36–39). The same two-level family plan at 5,345 sq ft gross (about 4,020 sq ft net) and PKR 65,000 per sq ft, PKR 10,000 per sq ft less than the Gold.

4-bed Sky Villas (floors 40–42). The largest homes run across three levels, with 7,929 sq ft gross (about 6,604 sq ft net). The top level is a private rooftop deck with a swimming pool, loungers and a barbecue area. Only a few Sky Villas are offered.

The whole 7th floor is an open deck above the sea: a swimming pool ringed by a jogging track, with padel courts and a jacuzzi beside it. Parking is on floors 2 to 6, with each space sized for a full-size SUV and EV charging points throughout.
The Trillium launched in May 2026 and is under construction while units are sold. Possession is on completion of the payment plan, about 4 years of quarterly instalments after the up-front payments. Ask the sales office for the written possession schedule with your booking. We will add a dated site photo and progress update here.
