Achuzat Zemer, Ra'anana: 89 units in six buildings on 8.5 dunams

"An open, green compound" is marketing language. Density is arithmetic. Divide 89 housing units across 8.5 dunams and you get about 10.5 units per dunam — a figure comparable with any other project, without relying on description.

Achuzat Zemer in the Neve Zemer neighbourhood of Ra'anana is a project of 89 housing units in six buildings on 8.5 dunams. The architects are Schwartz. The project is completed.

Density: the figure worth calculating before any comparison

Two projects can offer apartments identical in size and finish and deliver an entirely different living experience — because one sits on land that allows a garden and the other on land that allows parking. Three ways to measure:

1. Units per dunam — as in the calculation above. It needs two numbers: units and compound area.
2. Units per building — in this project about 14.8 on average.
3. Apartments per floor — the figure found in the specification and the drawings, and the one that bears directly on daily life.

The latter two appear in the sale specification and its attached drawings. See the article on the sale specification.

Ra'anana: a northern company's project in the centre

Ra'anana joins the company's projects in the centre and the coastal plain, alongside Modi'in, Rosh Ha'ayin (three projects), Gan Yavne and Rishon LeZion. That logic is set out in the article on Psagot Modi'in.

What to check in a multi-building project on one compound

• What all six buildings share — yard, car park, systems, gate.
• The expense key — whether it runs per building or across the whole compound; fixed in Part D of the specification.
• Yard development — an item with three inspection years, and in an open compound a central part of the living experience.
• The occupancy order — in a six-building project, whoever moves in first lives inside a working site.
