  • A successful tender was held for 693 housing units in Tiberias for approximately 50 million shekels, plus about 81 million shekels in development costs.
  • The winning company, Amram & Biton, offered a price significantly higher than the appraisal value, being the sole bidder in the tender.
  • The total payment for the land and development costs will amount to 131 million shekels, which is notable given the location in a remote area.
  • Previous tenders in Tiberias showed similar average land prices per housing unit but were conducted during a peak period in 2021, with land prices having dropped by about 55% since then.
  • This was the second attempt to market this tender after a failed attempt at the end of 2023, indicating renewed interest in Tiberias and the Sea of Galilee area.
  • New regulations have been approved to eliminate the separation between main and service areas in building plans, aiming to streamline the building permit process and reduce legal disputes.
