At Al-Nahhas Law Firm, we provide in-depth legal services in Real Estate Development Law, supporting investors, developers, construction firms, and landowners in navigating the legal complexities of the real estate sector in Syria. As urban expansion and reconstruction efforts continue, a solid legal foundation is more critical than ever for successful real estate projects.
With our specialized legal knowledge and hands-on experience, we guide our clients through all regulatory, contractual, and compliance-related aspects of property development and land use.
Overview of Real Estate Development Law in Syria
Real Estate Development in Syria is governed by a combination of laws and regulations, including:
- Law No. 15 of 2008 on Real Estate Development and Investment
- Civil Code provisions related to property rights and contracts
- Municipal and planning regulations related to zoning, land use, and construction permits
- Expropriation and compensation laws
- Foreign ownership and investment laws, particularly for non-Syrian investors
These laws regulate how land is acquired, developed, sold, leased, or transferred, as well as how disputes are handled in both private and public-sector developments.
