Overview

Kvutzat Bonei Arim Ltd. (often abbreviated K.B.A. or קי.בי.ע) is an Israeli land planning and development company that operates as the land-management arm of the Abu Yechiel Group. Its core activity is the identification, acquisition, improvement and development of land, primarily in the city of Ashdod, where it holds historic land reserves of more than 1,000 dunams. The company converts agricultural land into land suitable for construction and advances residential, commercial, hotel and industrial projects. The company was acquired in 2008 by Yechiel Abu, who transferred the company and all the land under its ownership to the Abu Yechiel Group. Additional land was purchased from the Israel Land Authority with the aim of continuing to develop Ashdod and initiating residential projects in and outside the city. The land division is described as a significant part of the group's financial strength, allowing it to operate independently and provide quality housing solutions without depending on market forces. K.B.A. is a long-established company that took a significant part in the founding of Ashdod and in preparing the city's master plan in 1956. It remains involved in various processes of the city's development and in the construction of different neighborhoods and districts. In recent years the company has begun to realize the land it holds, which is at various stages of development; most of it is expected to be sold to developers for construction and development in the fields of housing, commerce, hotels and industry. As part of the Abu Yechiel Group, Kvutzat Bonei Arim is positioned as a land and real-estate development platform rather than a construction contractor. Its expertise lies in recognizing land with high growth potential, acquiring it from the Israel Land Authority or private parties, improving it and turning it into buildable land. The company's activity is concentrated in Ashdod, with the group also expanding to additional areas in Israel.
