AFRICA ISRAEL RESIDENCES: BUILDING COMMUNITIES About AFI Group (Africa Israel Investments Group)

Africa Israel Investments was established in 1934 by a group of Jewish South African investors seeking to help the development of Jewish settlement in pre-state Israel.

In the years following Israel’s establishment as an independent country in 1948, Africa Israel Investments expanded its commercial and financial operations, soon becoming one of the leading companies in Israel. The Group is currently traded on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange.

Under the leadership of its chairman, Lev Leviev, and CEO Izzy Cohen, AFI Group has firmly established itself as one of Israel’s largest investment groups. Under its auspices are a variety of public companies traded on the Tel Aviv and London stock exchanges in the fields of real estate, industry, investments, hotels, residences, and income-generating real estate.

As AFI Group expanded its operations into the real estate sector, developing and constructing residential projects throughout Israel, it created Africa Israel Residences to become a leading presence in this demanding field.

Africa Israel Residences Ltd., AFI Group’s residential real estate company, changed the face of the housing culture in Israel with the creation of its prestigious residential communities. Each Savyon-branded neighborhood includes a range of advanced community services, as well as highly-developed surroundings – crucial elements that serve to attract a quality population.

The company’s current projects include:

1. Jerusalem Projects

7 Kook St. – Modern luxury apartments in the heart of Jerusalem, ideally situated near a wide variety of attractions, modern shopping complexes, and galleries, with convenient access to the Old City and its holy sites. The private complex contains approximately 131 stunning apartments, each with 1-5 bedrooms, and a beautiful Jerusalem-style internal courtyard facing the garden of the Ticho House museum.

HaNeviim Court – A luxury project in the center of Jerusalem, near the Russian Compound’s Sergei Courtyard, and conveniently close to the Old City. The project contains approximately 140 residences with 1-3 bedrooms each, a hotel with approximately 70 rooms, and a commercial area spread over 1,000m2.

Savyoney Arnona – Located in the south of Jerusalem between the upscale Talpiot neighborhood and the picturesque groves of Kibbutz Ramat Rachel, Arnona is one of the highest neighborhoods in Jerusalem, elevated more than 800 meters above sea level. It is simply one of the most prestigious and sought-after areas in the city. The Savyoney Arnona project includes approximately 900 residential units, of which 260 were constructed by Africa Israel and Rangor Property. The project contains a mix of 2- to 5-bedroom apartments that overlook stunning scenery in every direction, beginning on the sixth floor.

2. Tel Aviv Projects

Savyoney Ramat Aviv – A secure private residential complex offering especially large and spacious apartments. Located in North Tel Aviv’s premier neighborhood, its residents benefit from the complex’s proximity to the Israel Museum and Tel Aviv University, as well as a range of entertainment and shopping centers such as Kikar Hamedina, Ramat Aviv Mall, the Tel Aviv Port and marina, and the beach, which is within walking distance.

This luxury project, which is only open to residents and their guests, features unique apartments in tall, terraced buildings that look out onto a lush green area. Residents benefit from a private underground spa center that spreads over more than 2,000m2 and includes a semi-Olympic swimming pool, squash court, fitness room, treatment room and special events hall for the residents and their families.

Savyoney TLV – Tel Aviv’s next hot residential area, nestled between the city’s most fashionable neighborhoods – Florentin and Neve Tzedek. This youthful, developing district features attractive galleries, bars, and cafés, yet only offers a small number of new apartments. Savyoney TLV offers attractively-priced Tel Aviv apartments in an area that is expected to sharply rise in value in the future.

3. Netanya

SKY Towers (Ir Yamim, Netanya) – These two prestigious 34-story towers on the Netanya shoreline are considered to be the most magnificent in the Ir Yamim area.

The high-rise buildings feature spectacular apartments, with views of the breathtaking Mediterranean to the west, and the orchards of the Sharon region to the east.

4. Rishon LeZion

Sha’ar Hayam (Rishon LeZion) – A luxurious, modern residential complex is currently being constructed by Rishon LeZion’s Mediterranean beach.

The Sha’ar Hayam Towers were designed specially for residents who particularly enjoy the stunning scenery visible from most of the project’s apartments, as well as the breeze and tranquility of the sea.

Africa Israel Residences is also involved in a wide variety of new projects and apartments that are currently being developed in urban areas throughout Israel.

Yishai Breslauer, Africa Israel’s Director of Marketing, North America, said: “Africa Israel Residences is a strong, leading brand name in the development and construction of prestigious large-scale residential projects throughout Israel.

Crucially, the company has earned the trust of the Israeli public, which has led to it being chosen as the country’s best and most trustworthy real estate company for several years. Its stability and financial strength enable it to initiate and build the largest and most prestigious projects in Israel.”
