Africa Israel Residences is expanding its urban renewal activities into Holon. A joint venture between the company's urban renewal arm and Matsaluy has been chosen to advance a "pinui binui" (demolition and construction) complex in the city, where approximately 1,000 new apartments are planned to replace the existing 330.
The project is expected to generate revenues of around 900 million shekels, with anticipated costs of approximately 770 million shekels. This initial projection indicates a gap of about 130 million shekels between revenues and costs, roughly 14.4% of revenues. However, this figure does not account for financing expenses, taxes, construction cost fluctuations, planning adjustments, or potential changes in sales prices. Furthermore, these figures represent the entire project, not each company's individual share.
The complex will span approximately 16.7 dunams and include about 100,000 square meters for residences, 3,000 square meters for commercial spaces, and 40,000 square meters for parking basements. Around 330 of the planned 1,000 apartments will replace existing units for rights holders, while the remaining 670, along with commercial areas, will form the joint venture's share. This expansion of urban renewal is significant for Africa Israel Residences, whose renewal arm recently received a substantial capital boost from Clal Insurance.
Matsaluy is also an experienced player in urban renewal, with projects in various central Israeli cities, including a development in Bat Yam that will replace 32 existing apartments with approximately 90 new ones. This Holon project joins other urban renewal initiatives underway in the city, such as a large plan in the Jessy Cohen neighborhood to demolish 238 apartments and build around 1,050 new housing units.
The development occurs as Holon's housing market experiences a slight price decrease of about 3.2% over the past year, with variations between neighborhoods. Simultaneously, "pinui binui" plans and the Ha-500 district are expected to significantly increase the city's housing supply in the coming years.
