This project was a tender for apartment owners to choose a developer, an innovative step at the time.

Another project initiated by Attorney Israeli is the urban renewal of the Mishab neighborhood in Herzliya, which has been handled by Attorney Israeli since 2007.

Ownership Groups Accompaniment - Acquisition Groups/Property Ownership

The Law office has extensive experience in accompanying ownership groups organized for self-building, both within the framework of an acquisition group and through historical property ownership. Over the years, the office has successfully handled several complex projects of this nature, some of which have been completed, while others have progressed through various construction or organizational stages. As part of this activity, the team assists landowners in organizing the group, drafting partnership agreements, and accompanying owners at every stage of the organization, including choosing a management company, professionals such as architects and surveyors, selecting a contracting firm, financial guidance, and more. Currently, the firm handles numerous similar projects. The office also provides legal advice and accompanies several groups of landowners in procedures for changing the designation of the land. The office represents a landowner’s group with hundreds of dunams in the western Hadera area, promoting a massive project involving 11,000 housing units, 50,000 square meters of commercial space, offices, and hotels. Additionally, the firm represents approximately 350 landowners in Herzliya regarding the urban park plan and compensation related to this plan. Another prominent case handled by the firm involves representing landowners in Kfar Saba regarding the change of designation of approximately 40 dunams of agricultural land in their ownership for various marketable purposes,in a complex that will include a mall, offices and residential units.

Land Expropriation

The field of land expropriation is considered one of the most complex and challenging in the real estate world, requiring special expertise and intensive, long-term handling. The office has extensive and unique experience in this field, such as presented by Attorney Israeli in 1996, when he accompanied a group of owners regarding the expropriation of a self-owned land to establish the urban park in Herzliya. The complexity of the issue, together with the size of the represented group (about 350 landowners), caused a legal battle that started 25 years ago and is still ongoing. Likewise, the handling of land developments for the construction of the Ayalon highways has continued for many years, involving hundreds of landowners. This also applies to land developments for the construction of Highway 531 and in many other cases.
