Apartments in the THE FIVE project

The apartments in the project

The project runs from family apartments to upper-segment property:

• 4 and 4.5-room apartments
• spacious 5-room apartments
• mini penthouses
• large penthouses on the upper floors
• apartments with large terraces
• penthouses with private pools

Depending on the type, parking spaces and a storage unit are included, and some 5-room apartments and penthouses come with two parking spaces. So the project appeals not only to a buyer of a standard new apartment but to a family looking for a large, high-standard home inside Bat Yam.

Penthouses on the upper floors

Floors 25 to 27 form a category of their own, with special formats including large penthouses and generous terraces; some are planned with private pools and open views towards the sea.

Such apartments cannot be compared with standard ones by price per square metre alone. What counts is the floor, the terrace area, the orientation, how open the view is, the number of parking spaces and the layout of the specific penthouse.

A new building inside an existing city

A buyer of a new-build often has to choose between a modern apartment and a ready urban setting. Here that choice is not required: the complex is going up inside Ramat Yosef, a long-established part of Bat Yam with schools, kindergartens, cultural facilities and shops already around it.

The complex itself adds about 6 dunams of green space with walking areas, seating, play areas for children and sports facilities.

Transport

The location suits people working in Tel Aviv and the other cities of Gush Dan. The Bat Yam-Yoseftal railway station is within walking distance, the Red Line of the light rail runs nearby, and the Ayalon exit gives quick movement north and south.

In other words, there is no need here to choose between a new home and good transport.

The sea and the view from high floors

The project is not on the seafront, and we think it right to say so plainly.

But the upper western floors open onto a panorama towards the Mediterranean, and the beaches and promenade of Bat Yam are walkable. For a buyer that is a sensible trade-off: living inside the city, close to transport and amenities, while staying near the sea.

Buying directly from the developer

Such a deal is structured differently from a resale purchase, and the advertised price is not enough to go on. What matters:

• the payment schedule and what it is indexed to
• the handover date
• the terms of the contract
• the technical specification
• parking and storage
• possible layout changes
• additional costs
• bank guarantees
• the terms if construction is delayed

A handsome floor plan is only the start of the checks. Before signing, a buyer should understand the full cost of the deal and the obligations on both sides.

Why use an agency when the developer sells directly

It is a fair question. A sales department represents one project, and that is its job. Ours is to help the buyer look wider.

We compare an apartment in THE FIVE with other new Bat Yam projects, with a completed apartment in Park HaYam or with a suitable resale property. If a particular apartment here really is the strong option for that budget, we will show it. If the market holds a better alternative, the client should know about that too.

How we work with this project

We work with the offers in THE FIVE and accompany clients considering a purchase straight from the developer: helping choose the type of apartment, compare floors and layouts, understand the terms and go through the contract with the client lawyer before signing.

For a buyer abroad and for Russian-speaking clients this is particularly useful: complex terms can be worked through calmly in a language they know, rather than decided on the strength of a sales presentation.

Who the project suits

Above all families who want a large new apartment in Bat Yam but prefer to live inside the city. And anyone who values transport to Tel Aviv, a modern building, parking, storage and the option of a high floor.

A separate audience is buyers of mini penthouses and penthouses looking for a rarer format with large open spaces and a view.

Part of the renewal of Bat Yam

There is one more point worth making. The project shows the direction in which the city itself is changing: a large modern complex is replacing older low-rise housing, yet the district around it does not disappear.

This is not a separate new quarter on the edge of town but the renewal of the city itself. For a buyer looking 10 to 15 years ahead, that is worth weighing.
