Subscription to Abyat Hills Project

In new residential projects, early registration is often the difference between getting the right unit and settling for the remaining options once allocation begins. Timing is even more important in the Abyat Hills project, as subscriber priority is determined by the date and time of depositing the subscription amount in the bank.

Abyat Hills is a gated family compound located in Qudsaya Suburb, Rural Damascus, and includes 2,024 residential units distributed over a total area of 380,000 square meters, with a large portion of the project dedicated to green spaces and services.

Before reaching the stage of choosing the unit and signing the freehold contract, the client’s journey begins with the subscription phase, which represents an official registration of interest and a reservation of priority, without being a final allocation or sales contract.

In this article, we explain the meaning of Abyat Hills subscription, the registration and allocation steps, subscription amounts, the payment system linked to construction milestones, as well as the main legal conditions and guarantees that should be known before registration.

What does subscription mean in the Abyat Hills project?

Subscription in the Abyat Hills project is an official registration of the client’s interest in freehold, and payment of an amount that grants them priority to move later to the allocation phase.

The subscription amount is not a sales contract or a final allocation of a specific unit, and the subscriber does not choose the apartment or villa directly upon registration. The unit is determined later during the allocation phase, according to the available options when the subscriber’s turn arrives.

The amount paid at subscription is deducted from the allocation payment, which is 20% of the total unit value.

What is the difference between subscription, allocation, contracting, and handover?

The freehold journey in the Abyat Hills project passes through several interconnected stages:

Subscription: Registering the client’s interest in the project and depositing the required amount according to the unit category to reserve priority.

Allocation: Presenting the available units to the subscriber when their turn arrives, then determining the unit, its area, location, and final price.

Contracting: Confirming the chosen unit and signing the contract, with the allocation payment completed until cumulative payments reach 20% of its value.

Construction payments: Paying the subsequent installments according to the actual completion rates of the concrete structure and finishing works.

Handover: Paying the final installment after 100% completion of finishing, then receiving the fully finished unit ready for occupancy.

This sequence means that subscription grants priority in allocation, but does not guarantee ownership of a specific unit before allocation and contracting are completed.

When does the subscription start in Abyat Hills?

Subscription in the Abyat Hills project starts on August 5, 2026, and priority among subscribers is arranged according to the date and time of bank deposit at Qatar National Bank QNB.

Therefore, priority arrangement depends not only on entering the data, but on the timing of depositing the subscription amount in the designated bank account for the project.

Steps of subscription in Abyat Hills

• First stage: Preparing documents and registering data

The process begins with preparing the family statement and submitting the subscriber’s data required to organize the subscription contract.

If the subscriber is outside the Syrian Arab Republic, they can authorize someone else to complete the procedures on their behalf, provided a legal power of attorney that allows purchase is organized.

After registering the client’s data with Imtilak Real Estate, they receive their own QR code, which is used to complete the bank deposit process.

• Second stage: Depositing the subscription amount

The client deposits the subscription amount at Qatar National Bank QNB according to the required unit category, and the date and time of bank deposit is the main basis for arranging allocation priority.

After payment, the bank notification is sent to confirm the subscription process and link it to the client’s data and request.

• Third stage: Waiting for the allocation date

When allocation begins, subscribers are invited in order according to the bank deposit arrangement, and each subscriber is presented with the available units within the category they registered for.

• Fourth stage: Choosing the unit and completing the allocation payment

If the subscriber agrees to one of the available units, its final price is determined based on its specifications, then the allocation payment is completed until it reaches 20% of its value, after deducting the previously paid subscription amount.

• Fifth stage: Paying installments according to completion rates

Subsequent payments are not linked to fixed time installments, but become due upon reaching certain construction and finishing completion rates.

• Sixth stage: Handover

The final 20% is paid after 100% completion of finishing works, then the owner receives their fully finished unit ready for occupancy.

Subscription amounts by unit category

The first installment varies according to the type of unit the client wishes to register for:

These amounts are not separate fees from the unit price, but are later deducted from the allocation payment of 20%.

Each family is allowed to subscribe to only one residential unit, which is confirmed through the family statement.

How is allocation priority determined?

Allocation priority depends exclusively on the date and time of bank deposit at Qatar National Bank, not on the time of submitting the application or initially registering the data.

Accordingly, the person with the earliest deposit gets a higher priority in viewing the available units and choosing the suitable one when allocation begins.

The project policy also allows for increasing the number of subscription requests by 10% above the target number, to manage withdrawal cases. Therefore, acceptance of subscription and reservation of priority do not represent a final guarantee of obtaining a unit, as allocation remains linked to the subscriber’s order and availability of options when their turn arrives.

Payment system in the Abyat Hills project

The Abyat Hills project adopts a cumulative payment system linked to actual construction milestones, instead of relying on fixed periodic installments.

At allocation, the client does not pay the full 20% in addition to the subscription amount; rather, the previous subscription amount is deducted, and the client pays the difference to reach 20% of the total unit price.

What happens if the available unit is not accepted?

When the subscriber’s turn comes for allocation, they are presented with the available options at that time. If they do not accept any of these options, they are considered to have declined allocation.

In this case, the full subscription amount is refunded, without interest or compensation, within a maximum period of two months according to the contract terms.

Conditions for withdrawal from subscription

The subscriber has the right to submit a withdrawal request before the allocation phase and recover the amounts paid, after deducting a 5% administrative fee.

Voluntary withdrawal differs from rejecting options when the allocation turn arrives; in the case of refusing the available units, the full subscription amount is refunded according to the article on non-acceptance of allocation, while the administrative fee is deducted when submitting a prior withdrawal request.

Conditions for late payment of installments

The subscriber is obligated to pay installments when due according to the completion rates specified in the contract.

In case of delay in paying any due installment, the company has the right to terminate the contract and return the amounts paid to the subscriber after deducting 5%, according to the terms and conditions governing the project.

Therefore, it is necessary for the subscriber to assess their financial ability to continue with the construction payments, and not to base their decision solely on the subscription amount.

What units are available in Abyat Hills?

The project offers a variety of residential units, including:

• Two-bedroom apartments and living room.
• Three-bedroom apartments and living room.
• Four-bedroom apartments and living room.
• Five-bedroom apartments and living room.
• Duplex units.
• Villas.

This variety provides suitable options for families of different sizes, as well as for those seeking larger units or long-term freehold opportunities.

Prices of the Abyat Hills project in Qudsaya Suburb

The announced price per square meter for the first phase of the Abyat Hills project ranges between $950 and $1,150.

As for the prices of units offered in the second and third phases, they are announced at the start of allocation for each phase.

The final price is not calculated based on area alone, but is affected by several factors, including:

• Unit location within the project.
• Floor.
• View.
• Total and net area.
• Unit specifications.
• Dedicated parking space.

Thus, the announced price per meter is an initial range, while the final value of the unit is determined at allocation based on its detailed specifications.

Unit areas and specifications

The areas listed in the subscription tables are approximate and not final. The exact net and total area of each unit is determined at allocation, based on the approved execution plans.

All units are offered on a full handover basis, including all finishing and interior works, so that the unit is ready for occupancy upon handover.

Freehold guarantees and bank account

Paid funds are deposited in a dedicated joint bank account for the project, and withdrawals are only made based on actual construction milestones certified both technically and financially.

Linking payments to construction stages ensures alignment between paid funds and work progress, as subsequent payments only become due after the project reaches the specified completion percentage for each installment.

The subscription contract is also subject to approval by the General Housing Establishment, in addition to the signatures of the parties and the approved entities stated in the contract.

Conditions for assignment and resale

The subscriber may not sell the subscription or assign it to others before or during the allocation phase, and any such action is considered void according to the contract terms.

Disposal of the unit later requires:

• Payment of at least 60% of the unit value.
• Obtaining approval from the developer company.
• Obtaining approval from the General Housing Establishment.
• Payment of a 5% marketing commission to the company.

Thus, the subscriber cannot transfer their right to another person individually or outside the official procedures approved for the project.

One-unit-per-family policy

Each family has the right to subscribe to only one residential unit based on a family statement, and it is prohibited to submit more than one subscription for the same beneficiary.

If multiple subscriptions are proven, the organizing authority has the right to cancel the subscription and ban the beneficiary, then return the remaining amount after deducting the due penalties, within a period of up to 3 months.

Parties and approvals in the subscription contract

The subscription contract is organized between two main parties:

First party – Developer: Abyat Investment and Real Estate Development Company, registered in the commercial register under number 2109643.

Second party – Subscriber: The natural person applying for subscription to a residential unit.

The contract includes the following approvals:

Force majeure and its impact on implementation schedule

Force majeure provisions include circumstances beyond control, such as:

• Wars.

If any of these circumstances occur and impact project implementation, contractual deadlines are automatically extended in proportion to the duration of the impact, according to the contract terms.

Approved legal notifications

Emails, WhatsApp messages, and SMS text messages are considered official means for sending notifications and communications related to the contract, payments, and allocation.

Therefore, the subscriber must enter correct contact information and monitor incoming messages, in addition to notifying the relevant authority when changing their phone number or email address.

Maintenance and service fees

The subscriber acknowledges that the unit is designated for family housing and is obligated after handover to pay monthly maintenance and service fees as determined by the management of the Abyat Hills complex.

These fees cover the management, operation, and maintenance of shared services and facilities, and are not included in the unit purchase price unless otherwise stated in the final contract.

Why is early subscription in Abyat Hills an important opportunity?

• Better priority at allocation

Since priority is determined by the date and time of bank deposit, completing the subscription early gives the client a higher order and a greater chance to access a variety of options.

• Benefit from first phase prices

The announced price for the first phase ranges between $950 and $1,150 per square meter, while prices for the second and third phases are announced at allocation.

• Diverse residential units

The diversity of units between apartments, duplexes, and villas gives families the opportunity to register in the category closest to their needs and budget.

• Payments linked to progress

Subsequent payments are linked to actual progress in the concrete structure and finishing, enabling the buyer to monitor the implementation stages in parallel with payment due dates.

• Limited available units

The project includes 2,024 units, with the possibility of increasing the number of subscription requests by 10% to manage withdrawals. This makes priority order an influential factor in allocation opportunities, without subscription itself being a final guarantee of obtaining a unit.
