Amendment No. 163 to the Planning and Building Law, which came into effect after the "Iron Swords" war, allows for the expansion of the MAMAD area in residential apartments from 12 m² to 18 m², with the addition of toilets or a bathroom. The amendment offers exemptions from betterment tax for larger apartments and allows developers to incorporate the expansions into projects that have already been approved. Developers report an increasing demand for spacious MAMADs, especially among families with children, and are making planning adjustments in existing projects to include the changes. Despite the additional costs, there is economic viability in expanding the MAMADs, as the added space can increase the apartment's value by tens of thousands of shekels. However, there are planning and bureaucratic challenges, especially in advanced projects, that can complicate the full implementation of the amendment. Overall, the amendment offers new opportunities for developers but requires them to adjust their plans according to market complexities.
