Project 963 in Yaafour

At a time when the Syrian real estate market is moving towards more advanced residential models, the Yafour 963 project stands out as one of the projects aiming to introduce the concept of integrated residential communities, as adopted in advanced real estate markets.The project combines vast green spaces, diverse services, and modern housing options within a strategic location in the Yafour area, west of Damascus.

A Quick Overview of the Yafour 963 Project

The "Yafour 963" project is a luxurious, fully serviced residential complex located in the strategic Yafour area in the western countryside of Damascus.

The project, scheduled for delivery in the second quarter of 2029, spans a massive area of 144,000 square meters, with green and open spaces covering more than 75% of the total area. This provides a healthy and pure environment for residents, complemented by 13 modern buildings featuring various residential units available for freehold for all nationalities.

The complex includes 1,280 residential units, with options ranging from two-, three-, and four-bedroom apartments to luxurious penthouses. Prices start at $300,000 USD, with a flexible payment plan throughout the construction period and a 15% down payment. The project offers an exceptional lifestyle through a fully equipped clubhouse featuring swimming pools, a spa, a gym, an indoor cinema, padel and tennis courts, and all apartments are equipped with smart home systems, central heating, and advanced air conditioning to ensure the highest levels of comfort and luxury.

Why Does the Yafour 963 Project Attract Investors and Buyers?

Inspiration from Dubai's Modern Gated Communities

The project introduces the concept of "gated and sustainable communities," which has been hugely successful in Dubai—a model not widely familiar in the Syrian real estate market in terms of comprehensiveness.

• Integrated Services and Security: The project is not just a collection of residential buildings; it is a fully protected environment offering 24/7 security and privacy, integrating living, entertainment, and work in one place.
• Modern Infrastructure and Luxury: The experience includes exceptional facilities reminiscent of Dubai's luxury towers, such as the clubhouse, coworking spaces, indoor cinema, and integrated smart home systems, in addition to advanced energy and heating solutions that ensure continuous, efficient services.
• Reliance on Natural Spaces: Allocating more than 75% of the area to green spaces, jogging, and cycling tracks reflects Dubai's modern philosophy of designing cities focused on quality of life and residents' physical health.

One of the Largest New Residential Projects in Yafour

Yafour has historically been classified as one of the most prestigious suburbs in the Damascus countryside, and hosting a project of this size gives it a major competitive advantage.

• Vast Area and Value Assurance: The project covers 144,000 square meters, making it a landmark in the area. Projects of this size become a focal point for the entire region, ensuring the property's market value increases over time.
• Diverse Housing Options: The project's large size allowed for the design of 1,280 residential units ranging from small family apartments (two bedrooms) to spacious apartments and luxurious penthouses, meeting the needs of a very wide segment of buyers and investors with different budgets and requirements.
• Strategic Location: Being the largest in Yafour, it benefits from the area's location on the international highway (Damascus - Beirut), making it easy to commute to Damascus (20 minutes) or to the Lebanese border—a preferred location for businesspeople and expatriates.

Freehold and the Possibility of Long-Term Ownership

The project's sales laws and policies are a key driver for attracting local and foreign liquidity and capital.

• Attracting Non-Syrian Investors and Expatriates: Allowing "freehold for all nationalities" opens the door for Arab and foreign investors, as well as Syrian expatriates seeking a safe and reliable haven to invest their money in their homeland under clear legal frameworks that protect their ownership.
• An Excellent Tool for Preserving and Growing Value: Real estate ensures the preservation of capital value with the possibility of achieving very high rental returns after delivery (scheduled for 2029), given the scarcity of this quality of housing in the current market.
• Payment Facilities as an Investment Incentive: The ability to reserve a property with a 15% down payment and pay 70% in installments throughout the construction period allows buyers to acquire long-term real estate assets without needing to liquidate large sums at once, increasing
• Return on Investment (ROI): The "Yafour 963" project achieves high annual rental yields ranging from 8% to 12% due to the rarity of smart and gated communities in the area and their appeal to companies and diplomatic missions.

Early purchase during construction also provides capital gains ranging from 20% to 35% upon delivery in 2029, making it an ideal investment tool for hedging against inflation and growing capital through easy payment plans.
