17 new evacuation-construction complexes announced, mostly in Gush Dan

The Government's Urban Renewal Authority disclosed on Tuesday that 17 evacuation-construction (pinui-binui) complexes were proclaimed as such by the Authority's CEO under the "Taxation Route," designed for complexes initiated by private developers. These complexes entail 1,401 existing housing units slated for demolition and replacement with 5,386 new units.

Designating a complex as an eviction-construction complex gives the developer crucial tax benefits mandated by law, which are indispensable for project actualization. Additionally, the developer becomes subject to provisions outlined in the law concerning "reluctant tenants."

The announcement comes at an advanced project stage, post objections submitted to the approving planning institution, and upon the developer's completion of eviction-construction agreements with at least 67% of apartment owners in the project, signifying high project maturity levels for execution.

Per a legislative amendment passed in 2021, the CEO of the Governmental Authority for Urban Renewal is now the authorized entity for declaring construction evacuation complexes, a responsibility formerly held by the Minister of Construction and Housing, thus streamlining the process.
