Matzlawi Construction Co. Ltd.

With 37 active projects, a pipeline of approximately 6,303 new residential units, approximately 1,943 existing residential units, six projects currently being marketed, and 14 completed and occupied projects, Matzlawi continues to reinforce its position as one of Israel’s most experienced and longstanding urban renewal companies. Matzlawi is among the pioneers of urban renewal in Israel and one of the veteran companies in the real estate sector, with nearly five decades of activity and a unique ability to lead complex projects from initiation and planning through licensing, execution, and marketing.

As a public company listed on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange since 2007, Matzlawi is committed to transparency, oversight, and high standards of management and reporting. As of 2026, the company is advancing 37 active urban renewal projects comprising approximately 1,943 existing residential units and approximately 6,303 new residential units in its pipeline. Six of these projects are currently being marketed, while the company has also delivered and occupied 14 projects, demonstrating Matzlawi’s execution capabilities and extensive experience in leading projects through to completion and occupancy.

From Initiation to Key Handover: Matzlawi Manages the Entire Project Value Chain

One of Matzlawi’s key competitive advantages is its developer-contractor operating model, which enables the company to manage every stage of a project under one roof, including project initiation, homeowners’ organization, planning, advancement of zoning plans, licensing, financing, construction, marketing, and occupancy. In an industry where urban renewal projects involve multiple rights holders, lengthy statutory procedures, and significant engineering and financial complexity, the ability to integrate development and execution constitutes a substantial competitive advantage.

The company’s top contractor classification, alongside its experienced engineering team and advanced equipment, enables it to shorten project schedules, respond rapidly to planning and construction challenges, reduce dependence on external parties, and maintain a high-quality final product. For homeowners, this means a single, stable, and experienced point of contact accompanying them from the first signature through receiving the key to their new home, without gaps or divided responsibility among different parties.

Homeowners as Full Partners Throughout the Process

For Matzlawi, homeowners are full partners in a complex, long-term process. The company leads multi-stakeholder projects in complexes comprising dozens and even hundreds of rights holders, involving homeowners at every stage, from the initial trust-building phase through planning, licensing, and construction, and ultimately their return to a new, safe home tailored to their family’s needs. Matzlawi’s development division is equipped with strong interpersonal capabilities and proven experience in organizing homeowners, building consensus in complex developments, and providing continuous support throughout every stage of the project.

This approach is rooted in the personal story of the company’s founder, Sami Matzlawi, who personally experienced the housing challenges faced by his family when they were relocated from their home to a crowded housing project. From that personal experience emerged the mission that continues to drive the company today.

Broad Geographic Presence

Matzlawi’s projects can be found in numerous cities throughout Israel, with a significant presence in high-demand areas and evolving urban environments, including Bat Yam, Kiryat Ono, Ramat Hasharon, Ramat Gan, Givatayim, Herzliya, Hod Hasharon, Tel Aviv, Holon, Rishon LeZion, Rehovot, Kfar Saba, Yehud, and Or Yehuda. This presence reflects the company’s ability to work with various municipalities, numerous homeowners, and diverse developments, ranging from large-scale mega-projects to boutique projects in prime locations.

Green Building, Sustainability, and Responsible Planning

As part of its urban renewal approach, Matzlawi incorporates green building principles and sustainable planning into its projects, based on the understanding that quality urban renewal is measured not only by the number of housing units delivered but also by the quality of life it creates over time. The company emphasizes efficient planning, healthier living environments, energy efficiency, climatic comfort, welcoming public spaces, and the integration of solutions that support a renewed, advanced, and sustainable urban fabric.

Five Decades of Experience and Execution

Matzlawi continues to grow from a position of experience and a solid operational foundation. Nearly five decades of activity in the real estate sector, its status as a public company, a substantial pipeline of thousands of residential units, completed and occupied projects, and proven execution capabilities in complex, large-scale developments all support Matzlawi’s ongoing operations and its ability to lead urban renewal projects from initiation through execution on the ground.
