Singer Yehuda Poliker's Apartments to Undergo Redevelopment After Neighbor Dispute Resolution

Singer Yehuda Poliker's Apartments to Undergo Redevelopment After Neighbor Dispute Resolution

Five apartments owned by singer Yehuda Poliker in Tel Aviv will be redeveloped after a court dismissed a delay request filed by dissenting neighbors. The "pinui binui" project at 7 Bilu Street will replace the current building with a new one containing 27 apartments, three of which Poliker will receive. The project, which began with an agreement signed in August 2020 by most residents, faced opposition from two owners who were later deemed entitled to compensation.
