Alomran Real Estate Development Company officially announced the launch of a massive urban development project in Homs, called "Nasr Boulevard."
This is a step described as the first of its kind to rebuild parts of the destroyed city of Homs. The project involves an integrated plan that includes the development of the project area, real estate and investment activities, and a large public park with various recreational facilities.
The project extends from the beginning of Nizar Qabbani Street to the Al-Maymas area, encompassing neighborhoods such as Al-Qarabis and Al-Hal Market, adjacent to the industrial zone. The project will include residential and commercial buildings, public parks, business areas, and recreational and tourist facilities.
Media sources confirmed that Alomran, a Saudi company owned by Syrian businessman Rafai Al-Hammadi, seeks to make this project its first venture in Syria. It is committed to introducing international standards in design and implementation, as well as employing and training local personnel.
The "Nasr Boulevard" project represents an ambitious urban initiative in the heart of Homs, but it faces challenges related to transparency, ownership, and reconstruction priorities.
While some see it as a promising development opportunity, others believe it requires a thorough legal and representative review to ensure the inclusion of all stakeholders and the fair and balanced preservation of the rights of those affected and the local community.
Some Homs residents expressed optimism about this announcement, believing it could signal the beginning of a new phase of reconstruction and stability in the city. They also emphasized the importance of fair compensation for owners of damaged properties and the need for their representation in relevant contracts.
On the other hand, the project sparked a wave of mixed reactions on social media platforms. Abdul Rahman Abara emphasized that the land on which the project will be built is disputed, owned by families such as the Al-Husseini, Al-Jundi, and Al-Abara families, with pending court cases. This raises legal questions about the legitimacy of the announcement without consulting all owners.
Researcher Reem Turkmani emphasized the importance of laws regulating the reconstruction process and property rights, warning against ignoring the original rights holders and calling for the formation of committees representing them to ensure transparency and fairness in the process. Other users, including "Ruh" and "Hassan Al-Jinyat," questioned reconstruction priorities, criticizing the marginalization of neighborhoods that have paid a "bloody price," such as Khalidiya and Jouret al-Shiah. They called for a focus on rebuilding these areas before embarking on massive investment projects.
Abu al-Abd al-Homsi called for the return of these usurped lands to their owners and for the funds to be spent on renovating the homes of people who cannot afford them before considering such projects.
