In June 2026, a draft amendment to the General Master Plan of Burgas was adopted: where the city is expanding and in which district it is worthwhile to buy property

Planning to buy property in Bulgaria or looking for reliable investment options? Burgas is officially entering a new era of urban development. The amendment to the General Master Plan (OUP) of Burgas in 2026, initiated by the city authorities, aims at a large-scale expansion of the city limits to the north and to the south.

For those interested in property in Burgas, this is a key signal: the map of liquid assets is changing right now. New construction sites, strict regulation of building heights and infrastructure development create excellent conditions for buying an apartment in Burgas on the most favourable starting terms.

Where Burgas is growing: northern and southern directions

According to the new draft of the General Master Plan, the city's development is clearly divided by type of construction. This allows investors to segment the property market and choose the ideal district for their goals.

Northern vector 

Medium- and high-rise construction (Madika and Horizont).

If you want to buy an apartment in Burgas for permanent residence or running a business, pay attention to the northern part of the city. In the Madika and Horizont districts, Detailed Development Plans (PUPs) have already been put into development. Modern residential cooperatives and multi-storey buildings will prevail here. These districts will become new business and family centres with a well-developed urban environment.

Southern vector

Low-rise construction and the resort sector (Kraymorie).

Dreaming of your own house or townhouse right by the sea? The updated General Master Plan of Burgas places emphasis on low-rise construction (private houses and cottages) in the southern direction — in particular, in the Kraymorie quarter, as well as in the environmentally clean areas of Vetren and Banevo. The chief architect of Burgas champions a concept under which low-rise construction is preserved closer to the coastline. This makes it possible to preserve panoramic sea views and ensures natural circulation of the sea breeze deep into the neighbourhoods.

Why is it worth investing in property in Burgas right now?

• Steady population growth. Burgas is a powerful economic centre. Burgas leads in mechanical growth (internal migration from across Bulgaria and from abroad) and is the fourth-largest city in the country, which is what creates a shortage of quality new housing. The need for new apartments and long-term rentals increases every month.
• Balanced development of the suburbs. Adjustments to the General Master Plan also affect such important districts as Sarafovo, Lozovo, Dolno and Gorno Ezerovo, as well as Meden Rudnik. This levels out the infrastructure and increases the liquidity of properties across the entire region.
• Transparency and oversight. The draft amendments are undergoing rigorous environmental assessment and public consultation. Up-to-date maps and urban planning schemes are open for review on the Burgas Municipality portal. This guarantees the safety of your investment.
