Jackie Levy, Deputy Minister of Construction in the Israeli cabinet was accompanied by senior members of the ministry on a tour of Ramat Givat Zeev, the new luxury neighborhood under construction for the observant community in Givat Zeev.
During the tour, the deputy minister heard that the neighborhood will provide a substantial solution for the religious sector’s acute housing shortage. At the conclusion of the tour, Levy said that the Ministry of Construction headed by Yoav Galant, Construction Minister, is doing everything possible to increase the ratio of supply to demand in order to make it possible for every couple getting married in Israel to buy their own apartment.
Likud party member, Deputy Minister Levy, was amazed at the rapid rate of progress and the high standard of development of the neighborhood. “Mayors of other cities should come here to learn how to build an upscale neighborhood,” remarked the Minister.
The Deputy Minister made it clear that he would encourage both the Construction Minister and various mayors to visit the Givat Zeev project for the purpose of learning how to build a new, upscale neighborhood while putting an emphasis on details such as educational institutions and parks.
Many of the 400 housing units planned for this neighborhood have already been sold. All the apartments are being built according to the highest specification standards. The neighborhood is being built over a 140 square dunam area. A Country Club is under construction on the premises which will include a gym, swimming pool, outdoor sports fields and well equipped parks.
Ramat Givat Zeev, a project of Nofei Givat Zeev, has received countrywide interest from affluent, religious Israeli families who want to upgrade their living standards while residing in a Jerusalem neighborhood. It has been equally popular with families making Aliyah who wish to maintain the same standard of living as they are accustomed to enjoying.

Not that impressed on two accounts.
1) a unit consisting of 2 bedrooms, a kitchen, dining room 1.5 bathrooms, two porches (at least one suitable for a sukkah) costs 1.4 million shekkel.
2) How is this helping to meet the demand? There are altogether 400 units under construction yet thankfully lots more getting married – thousands! How does this help! If you gave a 6 oz. water bottle to someone who has been out in the hot sun at work all day, did you help? If you gave a prettzel or a grape to someone who fasted all day did you help?
It’s wholly insubstantial.
