1. Legal and Regulatory Identity

• Owner and Supervisor: The Aleppo City Council, in direct coordination with the Ministry of Local Administration and Environment.
• Infrastructure Contractor: The Syrian Corporation for Construction and Building (SEBCO), operating under official contracts signed with the city council.
• Primary Objective: To unblock and resolve stagnant zoning plans in Aleppo that remained delayed for over three decades, while offering a modern, regulated alternative to counter the city's housing shortage.
• Legal Framework: The project is formally classified under the "General Master Plan of Aleppo City" as an officially approved and ministerially ratified urban expansion zone.

2. Geographical Dimensions and Area

• Location: Situated on the western periphery of Aleppo, extending directly into the lands west of the Jamiyat al-Zahraa (Al-Zahraa Association) neighborhood.
• Distance from Downtown: The borders of the project site sit approximately 7.5 kilometers away from Aleppo’s city center.
• Total Land Mass: The entire expansion zone covers a designated area of 240 hectares of master-planned land.

3. Scale, Capacity, and Architectural Design

• Total Land Plots: The master blueprint incorporates 930 independent regulatory plots specifically zoned for residential development.
• Zoning Layout: The massive development area is divided into 4 adjacent sub-projects or "zones/neighborhoods" numbered 1 through 4.
• Housing Capacity: The calculated maximum capacity of the suburb is designed to accommodate approximately 14,000 modern apartments.
• Architectural Diversity: Approved building permits diversify the residential landscape to include independent luxury villas, semi-detached twin houses, modern detached apartment blocks, and continuous interconnected multi-family buildings.
• Height Restrictions: Regulated building heights range between a minimum of 4 stories up to a maximum of 8 stories.

4. Infrastructure and Eco-Systems (Latest Field Updates)

• Road Excavation Progress: Engineering committees officially reported the completion of approximately 70% of the grading, opening, and leveling of primary road networks. Current heavy machinery operations are strictly concentrated in Zones 2 and 3 due to their close proximity to Jamiyat al-Zahraa, after which operations will shift to Zones 1 and 4.
• Utility Integration: Technical studies and field revisions are underway to begin laying comprehensive underground networks for drinking water, electricity, telecommunications, and sewage.
• Sustainable Stormwater Separation: The civil design utilizes an environmentally conscious layout by completely separating the municipal sewage network from the rainwater drainage network. The collected rainwater will be gathered and redirected to irrigate the suburb's inner green belts and public parks, or safely drained toward Aleppo's southern countryside.

5. Planned Public Amenities

To fully service the projected 14,000 families, the W3 master plan reserves specific municipal blocks for integrated community facilities, including:

• Public schools catering to various educational stages.
• Central mosques.
• Community healthcare clinics and medical centers.
• Public gardens, parks, and recreational green spaces.
• Integrated commercial markets and shopping hubs.
• Public squares and designated multi-car parking lots to prevent traffic congestion.
