The Residential Complex in Qudsaya
A Full Review of the Abyat Hills Project
If you're looking for a real chance to secure a family home that combines good architecture, comfortable living, and a sustainable lifestyle, you're looking at one of the more significant developments in Syria's real estate market right now. Families today aren't just settling for four walls in a crowded, poorly planned neighborhood anymore. More and more, they're looking at gated communities that are actually planned properly, with the goal of giving people a decent standard of living.
Life closer to nature.
At the center of this shift is Abyat Hills, a project in Qudsaya that's become one of the biggest developments in the Damascus countryside. In this guide, we'll walk you through everything about the project, numbers included, starting with the location and unit specs, then moving into subscription terms, pricing, and timelines, so you've got the full picture.

Why investors are looking at planned suburbs?
Living in the heart of Damascus has its appeal, no question. But as the city gets more crowded, those central areas are struggling to keep up with basic quality-of-life needs. Property prices there keep climbing, but you're not getting real added value for it anymore. Buildings without parking, green space, or shared amenities have become a daily headache for families.
That's where the push toward planned suburban developments comes from. Investing in a modern residential community solves the "decent living" problem directly. You get independent, modern water, sewage, and electricity networks, and the layout itself prevents the kind of unregulated, crowded construction you see elsewhere.
Property value today isn't just about square footage anymore. It's about what's around it. Open space and integrated services are what actually set a property apart in today's market.
A full look at the Abyat Hills project
This project offers a residential concept built around advanced Saudi engineering, backing from established institutions, and long-term planning meant to keep the property's value growing over time.
It's backed by a strategic partnership that gives it real credibility as it's being carried out under the Syrian-Saudi Council, in partnership with the General Housing Establishment. That kind of institutional backing means subscribers and buyers can expect the project to stick closely to its standards and timelines.

Pricing and payment plan: a fair, flexible structure
The payment structure at Abyat Hills is built to move with actual construction progress on the ground. Subscription deposits go through Qatar National Bank (QNB), the project's approved bank, which gives subscribers some financial security.
How is the price set?
-
Phase 1: the price per square meter for allocation runs between $950 and $1,150.
-
Phases 2 and 3: allocation pricing will be set later, based on market conditions at the time.
-
Final price factors: exact location, floor, view, and unit size all factor into the final number.
Payment schedule: an easy installment plan
You don't pay the full amount upfront. It's split into 5 equal installments, each tied to a construction milestone:
-
First payment: 20% of the total property value.
-
Second payment (structural progress): 20%, due once 50% of the concrete structure is complete.
-
Third payment (structure complete): 20%, due once the structure is fully finished.
-
Fourth payment (finishing stage): 20%, due once 50% of interior finishing work is done.
-
Fifth and final payment (handover): 20%, due only when you receive the keys to your finished, move-in-ready home.
Project timeline: from subscription to handover
One thing that stands out about this project is how clear the timeline is. Public subscription officially opened on August 5, 2026. The project is split into three clear phases:
-
Phase 1 (500 units): units allocated 3 months after subscription opens, with final handover fully finished in 2029.
-
Phase 2 (530 units): allocated a year after Phase 1, handed over ready in 2030.
-
Phase 3 (1,042 units): includes the larger apartments and villas, allocated a year after Phase 2, with full project handover in 2031.
Subscription terms and required documents
To keep things fair and give as many families as possible a shot at this project, the developers set clear, straightforward terms.
Two ground rules for subscribing
-
Booking priority: allocation priority is based entirely on when you deposit your subscription amount with QNB first come, first choice.
-
One unit per family: each family can subscribe to one residential unit only.
The required documents are simple: a recent family registration statement, plus a formal power of attorney if the subscriber is abroad or unavailable and needs someone to act on their behalf.
What does Abyat Hills actually offer?
At 380,000 square meters, this isn't just a housing project it's a full living environment. Here's what makes it stand out.
1. A different approach to green space (the 70/30 model)
Only 30% of the land is used for buildings. The other 70% is green space — parks, open areas, and shared facilities. That much open, green space means cleaner air and a quieter environment for families and kids, away from city noise and pollution.
2. A wide range of unit types
The design accounts for the fact that families, and budgets, aren't all the same. Options range from practical 2-bedroom apartments for newlyweds or smaller families, up to spacious 5-bedroom units for bigger families who want more room.
