Investment Support: Oran Streamlines Its Industrial Land Portfolio

Industrial land management is entering a new phase in Oran, where Governor Ibrahim Ouchane issued fresh directives on Wednesday to accelerate the inventory and clearing of economic land assets, identify properties suitable for investment, and harmonize available database records. This initiative aligns with national executive directives aimed at strengthening the mobilization of commercial real estate and establishing a national portfolio of sites ready to host incoming projects.

The head of the provincial executive instructed officials to continue surveying surplus land parcels belonging to public institutions and dissolved enterprises. This effort is designed to yield a precise overview of available assets and distinguish properties that can be reassigned or mobilized for developmental projects.

Recovered land plots are also central to this identification process. Participating agencies must pinpoint sites meeting all necessary conditions for permanent investment designation, facilitating their integration into the available economic land bank.

To support this objective, consolidating existing spatial data stands out as another primary focus highlighted by the governor. Every property must be documented with a detailed technical file compiling location coordinates, surface area, cadastral maps, and key defining characteristics.

This strategy transitions the process from a basic asset inventory to a structured identification of actionable real estate. It ensures participating departments operate from standardized, updated datasets.

These measures build upon steps taken last Monday, when the governor chaired a session dedicated to managing and digitizing industrial land holdings.

During that meeting, he directed stakeholders to monitor the land inventory and clearance operations while setting a definitive timeline and establishing a routine tracking mechanism.

Key leaders involved in the proceedings included the Director of Urban Planning, Architecture, and Construction, the Directors of State Property (East and West), the Directors of Cadastre and Land Registry (East and West), alongside a representative from the Industry Directorate.
