A new home in an ancient land.

Israel 2025 is a far cry from what it was just a decade or two ago. Take a drive through the capital and other major cities—the transformation is unmistakable. Construction, which had been stalled for several months at the start of the war due to a manpower shortage, has since rebounded with renewed vigor as Israel brings in more and more foreign workers.

The architectural landscape is evolving, too. Glitzy high-rises are springing up where you would least expect them. As neighborhoods expand to accommodate a growing population, construction is reaching new heights—literally. Israel’s iconic low-rise apartment buildings are gradually making way for modern, multi-story towers, where the Shabbat elevator is not a luxury but a necessity.

In parallel, there is a focus on enhancing transportation infrastructures to support this blessed growth. From highways to intercity trains and light rails—Israel transportation is being upgraded at a dizzying pace.

Without a doubt, world Jewry’s demand for Israeli real estate, always robust, has gained considerable momentum since October 7, 2023. There’s a palpable sense of anticipation, even urgency. Those who can are hurrying to secure an “insurance marker”—a home in Eretz Yisrael.

Gidon Katz, CEO of IMP and an expert in marketing Israeli real estate to the global Jewish community for close to three decades, notes that now is the time to buy. “In the course of the last 20 years or so, Israeli real estate has shown a consistent upward trend,” he said. “Some years prices rise significantly and some years slightly less, but they are always going up. Additionally, lower interest rates will lead to a substantial price increase in about a year.”

The following is a brief review of some of the most popular projects and communities that are currently being marketed at the Great Israeli Real Estate Event, to be held this month in Toronto, Canada as well as in the tri-state area.

Azorim: Crafting Modern Lifestyles In Jerusalem and Netanya

Azorim, a leader in Israel’s real estate development for over 60 years, has been shaping the urban landscapes of Jerusalem and Netanya with an eye towards innovative living spaces that resonate with modern homebuyers from abroad.

In Jerusalem, the Arnona Residence demonstrates Azorim’s dedication to blending comfort with functionality. Located in the historic yet tranquil neighborhood of Arnona, this project offers a unique living experience that balances Jerusalem’s rich past with the conveniences of modern life. Arnona Residence is perfect for those who value serenity without sacrificing connectivity to vibrant city life.

The development focuses on practical luxury with spacious, light-filled apartments, community-focused amenities, and eco-friendly building practices. The complex itself is built to foster a sense of community, with shared spaces that encourage interaction and create a safe environment for children to play and adults to relax. From the layout of the gardens to the placement of seating and play areas, every element is intended to enhance the lives of those who live here.

Moving to the coastal city of Netanya, Azorim is introducing a dynamic living concept tailored to those who dream of a home by the sea. Known for its stunning beaches and vibrant tourist life, Netanya is becoming a hotspot for buyers looking for a blend of holiday vibes and urban conveniences. Additionally, with its growing appeal to both domestic and international markets, the city offers excellent investment opportunities.

The East and West projects, in the upscale Park HaYam neighborhood, include three exclusive luxury towers that harmoniously blend function and aesthetics. The West project features spectacular views directly to the Mediterranean Sea. Those who purchase units in the East project will enjoy the services of one of three top-tier interior designers at no extra charge. The superb location offers convenient proximity to shopping, cultural and leisure centers, business districts, and major traffic routes. The complex is also adjacent to stunning nature reserves and Netanya’s beaches.

The Weizmann and Sokolov projects in northern Netanya likewise offer sandy beaches within walking distance as well as easy access to top educational institutions and other important amenities. The projects are suitable for an observant lifestyle, and also provide residents with on-site gym facilities and community rooms. Like their counterparts in Jerusalem, these buildings are equipped with sustainable technologies and smart home features.

Yoni Barel, VP of marketing and sales at Azorim, said: “What sets us apart is our approach to creating environments that truly enhance the well-being of residents. Whether it’s the historic charm of Jerusalem or the breezy shores of Netanya, Azorim’s developments strive to leverage the unique attributes of each location. Our commitment to quality and community ensures that each project is not just a place to live but a place to thrive.”
