Kedumim Settlement Expands With New 380-Unit Neighborhood

Construction has begun on a new neighborhood called "Nachal Te'enim" in Kedumim, located in the Samaria region, following years of planning and approvals. The neighborhood will feature 380 housing units in multi-story buildings, along with parks, a commercial center, public buildings, and educational institutions. The project is divided into two sections: Z.P. company will construct 230 units in the eastern part, and Ofek Engineering and Entrepreneurship will build 150 units in the western part. The council stated this division aims to encourage competition, lower prices, and improve construction specifications. As part of the agreements with the developers, approximately 57 units, or 15% of the total, will be allocated for affordable housing for young couples. The new neighborhood will surround Kedumim to the north, creating territorial continuity that will eventually connect to Giv'at Hamed (Uriel) and expand the settlement's security perimeter. The development plan also includes preserving the natural phenomenon known as "HaTznirim" (The Stalactites), which will become an open public space with a promenade and walking paths.

Ozal Vatik, head of the Kedumim Council, welcomed the start of construction, calling it a historic and exciting moment and a significant milestone for the settlement's future growth. He added that "more residents mean more security, more services, more businesses, and more quality manpower for our community."
