Ramat Givat Zeev: Construction Has Begun
HAFTR Students Take Honors at the Long Island Math Fair
Construction of Ramat Givat Zeev has begun, according to Ichud Yesodot Bniyah, the executing company of the luxury project. The company expects the project to be complete within 24 months. The construction in the luxury neighborhood Ramat Givat Zeev, north of Jerusalem, has gone into high gear. Ichud Yesodot Bniya, the company chosen to execute the project, has begun operations on site. Progress is already evident. The implementation agreement signed by Ramat Givat Zeev’s architects and Ichud Yesodot Bniyah is one of the largest implementation agreements signed this year in Israel, totally approximately NIS 216 million at a value of approximately NIS 900,000 per unit. Ichud Yesodot Bniyah was selected because of its long-term experience and its high work standards of work, as seen in the many projects it has been involved in throughout the country. Nofei Yisrael, the project’s initiator,
says that the first residents will move in within 24 months, dependent upon the receipt of the building permits. Most of 234 large and luxurious units included in the project were sold during the project’s development. As construction commences, it is expected that there will be another wave of purchasers who will try to buy in at this stage. Based on the current real estate trends, it is likely that the cost of the unsold units will rise as construction proceeds. Ramat Givat Zeev will be a luxury neighborhood based on Torah values. Homes will be built according to the highest standards of construction and environmental design. The apartments in this prestigious project are characterized by a level of finishing seen in Orthodox neighborhoods abroad. The neighborhood will include private homes and 13 apartment buildings. The neighborhood is situated mountain-side above Givat Zeev Hachadasha and features a breathtaking view.
