Syrian Investment Authority Grants Real Estate Development License for Industrial Zones in Aleppo
The Syrian Investment Authority grants a real estate development license to study and implement infrastructure and market the industrial zones in Aleppo — read the license details and what has not been announced yet.
Aleppo — Sunday, 8 November 2026
The Syrian Investment Authority has granted a new investment license to study and implement infrastructure works and market the industrial zones in Aleppo Governorate, under the real estate development and investment category, in a step aimed at preparing the governorate’s industrial zones to receive new investments.
What does the license cover?
The new license falls under the real estate development and investment category, the category designated for real estate development projects and their associated infrastructure. The licensee’s task is limited to studying the industrial zones, implementing their infrastructure, and marketing them, without this meaning, for now, the announcement of any specific industrial or real estate project inside these zones.
The license comes as part of a package that includes a second license granted by the Authority the previous day for a pharmaceutical industries plant in the same governorate, pointing to an acceleration in investment licensing in Aleppo in recent days.
Why does Aleppo matter?
Aleppo is Syria’s economic capital, and its industrial city in Sheikh Najjar hosts the largest industrial cluster in the governorate, in addition to other industrial zones that the Authority and the governorate are working to develop. In February, the governorate signed four investment agreements to develop and rehabilitate industrial zones there, as part of a broader path to restart industrial facilities and attract new investments.
Preparing the infrastructure of industrial zones and marketing them gives investors greater clarity about the readiness of land and services, shortening the time needed to start projects and reducing the cost of entering Aleppo’s industrial market.
What has not been announced yet?
The Authority has not yet announced the name of the licensee, the investment value of the project, the specific industrial zones covered, or the timeline for implementing the infrastructure works. These details await further announcements from the Authority or the implementing party.
