- The owner will receive 12.5 million shekels in compensation.

A two-story building in Holon, which received a permit in 2019 for a six-story TAMA 38 urban renewal project, will instead be demolished for a subway station. NTA, the public transport authority, announced the expropriation of the building shortly after the permit was issued. Following legal action by the building owner against the state, an agreement was reached. Under the terms of the settlement, the building owner will receive 12.5 million shekels in compensation and must vacate the premises within 90 days. The building was slated for reinforcement and expansion under TAMA 38, a government program aimed at strengthening older buildings against earthquakes and improving housing stock, but its development was halted by the metro project.
Years of negotiations preceded the final agreement. The compensation amount reflects the value of the property and the disruption caused by the expropriation. The metro station is part of a larger infrastructure development plan for the region.
