Israel Land Authority Advances Two Mega Tenders for 2,490 Housing Units in Ofakim

Nearly 1,500 units offered under the target-price program

The Israel Land Authority is advancing two separate tenders in the Afikei Nahal neighborhood of Ofakim, totaling approximately 2,490 housing units. About 1,469 of these units are slated for the target-price track, aimed at reducing housing costs for young couples and first-time buyers. The tenders are moving toward their next procedural stage as part of a broader push to expand land supply in Negev development towns. The scale of the project positions Ofakim as a key hub for new residential development in southern Israel in the near term.

What this means for land buyers

For land buyers and investors, a tender of this scale signals continued government priority for developing peripheral Negev towns and future large-scale housing supply in the area. Those considering investment near Ofakim should track official submission dates and eligibility terms for each tender.
