Two Thousand New Homes
A residential development named Abyat Hills was launched on 6 June 2026 in the Qudsaya suburb near Damascus. The plan calls for 2,000 housing units spread across a 300,000-square-meter site, with construction scheduled to run over four years.
The scheme is presented as part of wider reconstruction activity, combining housing with commercial and service facilities in a single gated district.
Public-Private Partnership
The project pairs a private developer specializing in real-estate investment and development with the General Housing Authority, a state body. Building coverage is capped at 30 percent of the site, leaving the remainder for roads, services and open space.
The development is designed as a gated community with round-the-clock security, a model increasingly used for new districts on the capital's outskirts.
Mixed-Use Components
Beyond the homes, the master plan includes commercial centers, schools, a two-story shopping mall and a six-story hotel. Green spaces and shared amenities are folded into the layout.
The mix of residential, retail, education and hospitality space is intended to make the district self-contained rather than a dormitory suburb.
Jobs and Reconstruction
Developers said the build phase would create more than 2,000 jobs. A companion urban-development project is planned to add roughly 6,000 further positions over a decade.
The general director described the work as a "modern urban development vision supporting reconstruction efforts," framing housing supply as a lever for the broader rebuilding of the economy.
Undisclosed Investment
The total investment value of Abyat Hills was not disclosed at launch, and no financing breakdown between the private developer and the public partner was given.
The four-year timeline means delivery of the first units will depend on funding, construction-input costs and the pace of demand in a market where the Syrian pound (SYP) has weakened against the US dollar (USD) in recent months.
