Aura Launches Major Housing Sale Across Five Israeli Cities with Club Haver

The story · English

Aura, a prominent Israeli real estate company, is launching a large-scale sales campaign in collaboration with Club Haver, targeting five projects simultaneously in Hadera, Ramat Hasharon, Ramat Chen in Ramat Gan, Kiryat Ono, and Ofakim. The campaign, starting tomorrow and running until August 19, applies to all available apartments currently on the market within these projects, offering significant discounts, exemption from linkage differentials, and a payment plan where most payments are due near occupancy. Buyers must register early on the Club Haver website to participate and will be invited to sales days in order of registration.

Yaakov Atrachchi, CEO and controlling shareholder of Aura, stated this is their second campaign with Club Haver, emphasizing the partnership with military bodies as a way to reward deserving populations. He highlighted the variety of apartments priced between 2 and 3 million shekels to suit different budgets and praised the favorable financing terms allowing buyers to pay 15% upfront and 85% upon completion, easing financial burdens. Atrachchi also noted a double-digit discount and predicted market improvement by 2027 due to rising rents and falling mortgage rates.

In related urban development news, the Tel Aviv regional planning committee approved two urban renewal plans in Ramat Gan, adding 922 housing units across two major projects involving high-rise towers and improved public spaces. Concurrently, the city issued a tender for a new sheltered housing complex to replace outdated elderly care facilities, promising modern infrastructure and continuous care during construction.

Additionally, the Weizmann Institute in Rehovot received approval for a new student dormitory complex with 805 units, replacing old facilities and including commercial space near key transport hubs. In Beit Shemesh, the Israel Land Authority successfully auctioned seven plots for commercial, industrial, and residential use, attracting 65 bidders and raising approximately 325 million shekels.

These developments reflect ongoing efforts to address housing needs and urban renewal across Israel, combining large-scale sales initiatives with strategic planning and infrastructure upgrades.
