Aora, a leader in urban renewal in Israel, recently reported the acquisition of the sheltered housing company "Beit Bakfar" for 1.7 billion shekels, a move that highlights the risks and uncertainty in this sector. Aora initiates and builds 179 projects, with the potential to construct about 84,000 apartments, but the actual sales pace is much lower, with 722 apartments sold in the first three quarters of the year. The company faces significant gaps between supply and demand, prompting it to seek additional income sources like sheltered housing, which offers a more stable financial model. This move aims to hedge against the risks associated with urban renewal, which involves complex bureaucracy and difficulty in marketing projects. Aora offers a solution that balances the volatile profits of the residential market with the stable cash flows of sheltered housing, which could represent a smart strategy in the current real estate market.
