Overview and Developer

Yaafour 963 is a residential community in Yaafour, west of Damascus in Rural Damascus, developed by Invest Group Overseas (IGO). According to SANA, IGO is a subsidiary of MAG Group Holding and works in real estate development and investment through residential and commercial projects in Syria and the United Arab Emirates. The project was launched at a ceremony in Damascus on 17 June 2026, and SANA describes it as the first announced project under the company's new investment plan in Syria.

UPDATE 02.08.2026

Source limitation, stated plainly. The website this entry drew its detailed specifications from carries its own disclaimer: it describes itself as an independent demonstration page, states that its renderings are placeholder, and states that its visual representations and layout plans are for illustration only and do not constitute an offer or binding commitment. Unit dimensions, pricing and payment terms circulating from that page should therefore be treated as indicative and not as developer-confirmed figures. Only the elements below are carried by primary sources.

Verified by SANA: the project was launched at a ceremony in Damascus on 17 June 2026, attended by the Minister of Tourism, the governors of Damascus and Rif Dimashq, the head of the Civil Aviation Authority and the Jordanian ambassador. SANA confirms the developer as Invest Group Overseas (IGO), the location as Yaafour west of Damascus, and the area as 144,000 square metres. An earlier version of this entry recorded the announcement date as 6 June 2026; the correct date is 17 June 2026.

Unit count is not settled. SANA states no unit count. Asharq Al-Awsat reported 1,280 units on 21 July 2026. Enab Baladi published a category breakdown on 20 June 2026 that sums to 1,278. No official figure has been issued, so no single number is asserted here.

Status. The project is at pre-construction and off-plan sales stage. No source reports the start of structural construction.

Al Masdar Al Aqari puts the two simplex penthouses at 1,184.6 to 1,190.4 m², in line with the penthouse range on the project website.

The developer's group publishes the same figures. The detailed figures in this entry are attributed to the project website, whose footer describes it as an independent demonstration page with placeholder renderings, and which describes its payment figures as indicative and subject to the sales and purchase agreement. Kingdom by MAG publishes the same core figures: about 144,000 square metres, 13 buildings, about 75% open and green space, a 70/30 payment plan, a title deed on completion and handover expected in 2029. SANA identifies IGO as a subsidiary of MAG Group Holding.

Details the project website does not list. Until this update, this entry also described a service promenade with cafés, administrative offices and a boutique hotel, an outdoor children's play area, finishing options from core-and-shell to semi-finished or fully finished, and prices varying by view and floor level. As of 6 October 2026, the project website lists none of these.
