The story of the apartment owners:
Rich Bibi, a member of the tenants' representative in the building, says: "The primary goal is to strengthen against earthquakes, not just for the 24 square meters. Some entrepreneurs came to us at the time, each with temptations and presentations. This is a historic neighborhood - the German Colony - it was important to us that the stone and the shape and the structure be similar to the historic and special houses that are on the street.
"We, as the building's representative, worked very hard. We were always working in front of the municipality, and it was extremely difficult. Even I wrote a letter to the mayor at the time. The building was very dangerous. There will be Form 4. I assume that within two months we will receive Form 4 and everything will be complete.
"TMA's entrepreneurship must not end. There are very dangerous buildings. I saw how they strengthened and the excavations in depth - it's for the safety of all the residents. "
Compensation for the entrepreneur:
Another floor and a half, where five new apartments will be sold, one is a penthouse.
Compensation for tenants:
Additional 25 m2 for each apartment (two bedrooms), sun terrace and parking. Strengthening the building against earthquakes. Additional elevator and lobby.
parking:
Previously the parking area was not regulated, on a first-come, first-served basis. Today, parking has been added, including through parking multipliers, so that now there is parking attached to each apartment.
