Sources: 5. Developments: 2. Syria’s Ministry of Public Works and Housing has launched an initiative to produce or rehabilitate approximately two million housing units by 2035. This plan aims to reduce the national housing deficit, which was estimated at 1.9 million units in 2025 and could reach 2.5 million by 2030. The strategy utilizes four tracks: completing stalled projects, rehabilitating repairable homes, rebuilding damaged residences, and increasing new supply. Key developments include the ‘Abyat Hills’ development, the Al-Bajaa urban complex, and the ‘Sham View’ project. Additionally, the ‘New Damascus’ project, valued at roughly $7 billion, is being developed through a partnership between the Syrian sovereign wealth fund and the UAE-based Arada Group. The broader reconstruction effort faces significant financial hurdles. The World Bank estimates the cost of rebuilding physical assets at approximately $216 billion, including $75 billion for residential buildings and $82 billion for infrastructure. Tjada McKenna, chief executive of Prosper Global, noted that international aid is “woefully insufficient” to meet these requirements and that Syria must compete for funding against other global crises. ## Timeline ### 2026-09-26: Syria targets two million homes by 2035 to address reconstruction needs Syria aims to build or rehabilitate two million homes by 2035 to address a massive housing deficit, amid warnings that international aid remains insufficient for the estimated $216 billion reconstruction cost. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/syria-targets-two-million-homes-by-2035-to-address-reconstruction-needs ### 2026-09-23: Syria targets production of 2 million housing units by 2035 Syria aims to produce or rehabilitate two million housing units by 2035 to address a deficit that could reach 2.5 million units by 2030, utilizing multi-track development and international partnerships. 3 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/syria-targets-production-of-2-million-housing-units-by-2035 --- Cite as: Syrian housing reconstruction and development.
