New Apartments to Be Delivered in Tunis in 2026: Key Projects and What to Check

The new-build market in Greater Tunis remains active despite rising construction costs and high interest rates. Multiple residential projects are expected for 2026 delivery across different segments.

Market Overview

Production is driven by: private FNPI-accredited developers, AFH for social and affordable housing, SNIT for subsidised housing, and tourist developers for coastal secondary residences.

Key delivery zones in 2026: Ben Arous/El Mourouj (affordable), Ariana/La Soukra (mid-range), Ennasr/Menzah (premium), Jardins de Carthage/Les Berges du Lac (ultra-premium).

Essential Checks Before Buying Off-Plan (VEFA)

Developer's FNPI accreditation: verify publicly with the Ministry of Equipment or FNPI. Non-accredited developers cannot legally sell off-plan.
Building permit: should be obtained before commercial launch. No permit = red flag.
Construction progress: visit the site. A "2026 delivery" project with no foundations poured by mid-2026 is a serious delay risk.
Specification booklet (cahier des charges): read Article 9 carefully — it defines buyer rights on non-conformity, hidden defects, and delivery delays.
Developer track record: visit previous deliveries and speak to existing owners.
Reservation contract: must specify precise description, TTC final price, delivery date, delay penalties, and deposit refund conditions.

Price Ranges by Segment

Segment	Price (TND/m²)	Typical F3 Price	Zone
Affordable	2,500–3,500	TND 250,000–380,000	El Mourouj, Ben Arous
Mid-range	3,500–6,000	TND 380,000–720,000	Ariana, Ennasr
Premium	6,000–12,000+	TND 800,000–2,500,000	Jardins de Carthage, Lac 2

Standard Payment Schedule

Reservation: 5–10% at contract signing
Final sale agreement: 20–30%
Construction milestones: 40–50% progressively
Delivery: balance (15–20%) at key handover

Never pay 100% before delivery. Full advance payment in case of developer insolvency = total loss risk.
