The Galil neighbourhood in Nazareth: five projects by one company, in one neighbourhood

In property there are figures that can be bought and figures that can only be accumulated. A track record in one neighbourhood is in the second category: there is no shortcut to it.

Tawfik Zidan Ltd has five projects in the Galil neighbourhood of Nazareth, and that is the context in which Zidan Tower — the fifth in the series — is being built.

The series

The table shows a picture that never appears in a single project's brochure: the company is present in the neighbourhood at several stages simultaneously — one project occupied, three completed and one about to go on sale.

Why a neighbourhood track record is a practical figure

1. You can see the finished product. Buildings by the same company stand occupied in the neighbourhood. Anyone considering Zidan Tower can look at Galil View and Zidan Two with their own eyes.
2. You can talk to residents. It is the one check that appears in no public register, and here it is within walking distance.
3. The infrastructure and the authority are known. Electricity and water connections, coordination with the local authority, ground conditions and topography — all learned on the first project.
4. The developer stays. A company with five projects in one neighbourhood is there after handover too, because its next project is across the road.

Nazareth: a market where new supply arrives slowly

Nazareth is the largest Arab city in Israel, and the Galil neighbourhood is its planned expansion. In a market where plan approval took years, new supply does not arrive in waves — it arrives in drops. In such a market, the ability to complete and hand over matters no less than the finishes.

What to check in each of them, series or no series

• The security, among the five statutory routes — see the article on securing a buyer's funds.
• The payment schedule, and whether it is governed by the statutory rates — see the article on the payment schedule.
• The contractual handover date — see the article on late handover.
• The sale specification and its four parts — see the article on the sale specification.
• The developer itself in the public registers — see the article on checking a contractor.
