**רמ"י**

RAMI (Rashut Mekarka'ei Yisrael) is the national land authority. It issued the 2021 Eshkol housing tenders and the 2024-2025 Central and North mega-tenders. Winning a RAMI tender buys the development rights on a migrash, not a finished apartment. The developer still needs a design plan and a building permit.

## Where this comes up

- [The Big Bloc: 1,892 Owners, Fifty Years, One Court Ruling](https://shavnu.com/blog/big-bloc-land-saga.md): Inside Sde Dov, a historic block of private parcels sat under the runway for generations. A court finished the rights table in September 2025. Here is what that means for Eshkol lot 102, how it differs from the district's other private lots, and what a buyer comparing private land to a RAMI tender plot should check.
- [From Tender Price To Asking Price: Where The Money Goes](https://shavnu.com/blog/from-tender-to-price.md): Winning a RAMI tender buys lease rights at a sealed bid. Selling an apartment recovers land, planning, construction, finance, levies, and margin. The public record shows some of those lines for Sde Dov and is silent on others.
- [Four Stations to the Sea: What the Green Line Means for Sde Dov](https://shavnu.com/blog/green-line-light-rail.md): The Green Line light rail crosses Sde Dov on the Ibn Gvirol and Gordon axis with four stations. Southern section around late 2028, full service around December 2030. Here is the spine, the Yarkon bridge, and what station proximity actually means for each complex.
- [The Lot That Broke a Developer: From Hanan Mor to Dimri Yama](https://shavnu.com/blog/hanan-mor-to-dimri-yama.md): Hanan Mor Group paid ₪1.5 billion for Eshkol lot 107 in 2021. A ₪3.2 billion debt settlement in May 2024 forced a sale. Y.H. Dimri bought the land for ₪1.1 billion and relaunched it as Dimri Yama from ₪3.75 million. The arc is a buyer lesson in land leverage and developer survival.
- [Not Just Apartments: The Hotels, the Marina, and Reading's Second Life](https://shavnu.com/blog/hotels-marina-reading.md): Plan TA/4444 budgets ~3,000 hotel rooms, a five-hotel ILA mega-tender, Eshkol's first two hotel lots, and a southern edge where Reading power station, fuel tanks, marina, and park are being rewritten at once.
- [What Israel Does With Military Land](https://shavnu.com/blog/military-land-precedents.md): More than ninety percent of Israel's land is publicly held. When a defense site becomes housing, the Israel Land Authority's tender system decides who builds. Sde Dov is one documented instance of that pattern, not a private sale.
