An old, two-story building at 63 Nachalat Binyamin Street in Tel Aviv collapsed early this morning. The building, which contained five apartments and two ground-floor shops, was unoccupied at the time of the collapse. No injuries have been reported.
In May, the building received a permit for a Tama 38/1 reinforcement and expansion project, which involves adding five new apartments over two and a half floors. Construction work had begun in recent weeks. The development company, Shlomi Tahon Huri Investments, was slated to add the new apartments while preserving the existing shops.
According to reports, the building had previously undergone repairs and was inspected by an engineer in 2024, who found it to be sound.
