גינדי החזקות

Gindi Holdings is building GINDI VOGUE: 708 homes on Central lots 2206 and 2255, about 250 metres from the sea, bought for about ₪1.24B including development in February 2025. It launched in June 2025 from ₪49,000 per sqm and had 602 signed contracts within six weeks, leaving mainly penthouses, which it now offers from ₪65,000 per sqm. In August 2025 the Sales Law Regulator ordered a 2.5 per cent refund over how deposits were collected, in August 2026 an option-holder sued over the PFAS findings, and the same month REIT 1 agreed to buy all the retail and office space for about ₪400M plus VAT, with occupancy expected in five to seven years.

Not to be confused with
There are two unrelated Gindi property dynasties. This one, Gindi Holdings at gindih.co.il, is the Sde Dov developer, controlled by the children of Yigal Gindi. A separate group trading as Gindi Investments and Gindi TLV, controlled by Manor and Kfir Gindi, builds the unrelated Gindi Tel Aviv complex. English-language search results conflate them constantly. A further company with the name, Chen & Itay Gindi, is also in Sde Dov: it leads the buying group on North lot 3107 and bid for private Eshkol lot 104 in March 2025. AI answers that list "Gindi Israel" as a Sde Dov developer mean Gindi Holdings, whose winning entity is Gindi Israel 2010.

What a buyer from abroad should know

This is a private company with no stock-exchange disclosure obligations, so everything known about its financial position comes from press investigation rather than audited filings. Two matters specific to this project are on the record: a regulator's refund order over how deposits were collected, and a buyer's lawsuit over the contamination findings.

What it paid, and for what

Every recorded acquisition in the district, with the source for each.

Timeline

On the record

Published facts a buyer would want before signing. Each carries its source.

The Sales Law Regulator ordered a refund

On 4 August 2025 Ariel Rosenberg, the Sales Law Regulator at the Housing Ministry, found that Gindi had collected 9.5 per cent of the purchase price through option agreements without providing the statutory guarantees that become mandatory above 7 per cent, and ordered a 2.5 per cent refund held in trust for buyers on roughly 360 units sold in the June 2025 campaign. Gindi said it had acted in an orderly and professional manner and that no defect occurred, but would comply and respected the regulator's position.

A buyer is suing over the contamination findings

On 3 August 2026 the first option-holder in the project filed at Tel Aviv District Court seeking rescission and a full refund of a deposit of about ₪500,000, 7 per cent of the price, paid in July 2025 before the PFAS contamination became public towards the end of that year. The claim is that the contamination was concealed. Gindi's public answer is that remediation, if it is required, will be carried out at no cost to apartment buyers, and that it will respond through the legal process.

How fast the project actually sold

By 12 June 2025, within a week of the ₪49,000 per sqm launch, 450 of the 708 units had moved: 90 signed and 360 holding deposits, at an average realised price of ₪56,000 to ₪59,500 per sqm once financing costs are counted. By 17 July 2025, during the war with Iran, another 120 had sold, taking the cumulative total to 678 registered buyers and 602 signed contracts, about ₪4.5B of volume.

Occupancy is five to seven years away

When REIT 1 agreed in August 2026 to buy the project's 5,000 sqm of retail, 7,400 sqm of offices and 127 parking spaces for about ₪400M plus VAT, it paid ₪80M on signing, with the rest due on occupancy, which the parties expect in five to seven years depending on the pace of construction on the different plots. At launch in June 2025 buyers signed options rather than sale contracts because there was no building permit, paying 7 per cent into trust plus a further 2.5 per cent, then 10.5 per cent on the sale contract and 15 per cent after the permit; one tower offered on separate terms asked 50 per cent at the permit.

Where sources disagree

Published figures that do not match. Both readings are given rather than one being chosen.

How many buyers did the regulator's refund order cover, and how much money?

Calcalist's ₪90M is its own estimate from the number of homes sold by August 2025; the regulator did not publish an amount.
