The site currently serves as a parking lot.
A consortium of real estate companies will build a 50-storey tower at the Ramat Gan Diamond Exchange at a cost of NIS 400 million. The consortium comprises Aviv and Co. Building Company Ltd., Tidhar Group Ltd., and Rogovin.
The building is located on a seven-dunam (1.75-acre) lot at the corner of Bezalel Street and Hayetzira Street is one of the largest land reserves in the area and currently occupied by a parking lot. Tidhar and Rogovin bought the land in 2001 from 20 landowners, some of them diamond merchants, in a combination deal. Aviv & Co. joined the consortium later.
This is Aviv & Co.'s first project since it sold the controlling interest in Ocif Investments and Development Ltd. (TASE: OCIF) to Arcadi Gaydamak in April 2007 at a company value of NIS 1 billion.
