Not developers. Not brokers. We manage the apartment owners' side.

Pinui-binui without losing control of your home

Shiluvim manages the urban renewal process for apartment owners and resident representations in Jerusalem, and accompanies them from the initial organization stage through to receiving the new apartment.

An initial conversation with no commitment. Suitable for buildings just starting out, and for owners who have already been approached by a developer.

Two large complexes. 11 buildings. 190 apartment owners.

Derech Hevron and Ha'anafa: two complexes in Jerusalem where Shiluvim organized the apartment owners, ran the developer tender, and is leading their side through the process.

A developer tender managed for you

Shiluvim runs the tender, compares the offers, and leads the negotiation so that the apartment owners get the best terms achievable.

Terms Shiluvim secured for the apartment owners

On the projects we've guided, apartment owners received improved terms - including significant area additions, recognition of existing spaces, and protection mechanisms in the agreement.

I'm Yosef Avraham, founder and owner of Shiluvim.

I manage pinui-binui projects for apartment owners in Jerusalem, from the moment they start organizing through to receiving the new apartment.

On every project I manage the apartment owners' side: forming a representation, building a shared position, running a developer tender, negotiating, coordinating between the professionals, and providing ongoing updates.

My role is to make sure apartment owners don't stand alone facing the developer - that they understand what's on the table, know what they're signing, and make decisions out of knowledge, not pressure.

A project like this needs someone who knows the language, sees the bigger picture, and stays available even after the initial enthusiasm fades. That's the role of Shiluvim.

If there's a lawyer, why also Shiluvim?

The lawyer protects the apartment owners' legal rights. Shiluvim manages the practical and commercial side of the project on their behalf.

In practice, the two parties work together: the lawyer leads the agreement review, its drafting and the legal negotiation with the developer, while Shiluvim leads the organization of the apartment owners, the work with the representation, the developer tender, the offer comparison, the commercial negotiation, advisor coordination, decision advancement and ongoing tracking.

This way the apartment owners get both professional legal protection and orderly management of the path to the new apartment.

If the developer pays your fee, how are you on the apartment owners' side?

Shiluvim's fee is not collected directly from the apartment owners. It is agreed in advance and transparently with the apartment owners, and paid by the developer as part of the project costs — only if the project moves forward.

Shiluvim's model is built so that our success is tied to the apartment owners' success: the better the consideration and terms the apartment owners receive, the higher our fee. So our interest is clear: to secure as much as possible for the apartment owners.

When no one manages the apartment owners' side, confusion manages the project

Pinui-binui is a long, sensitive, and complex process. Without a party that organizes the apartment owners, explains the stages, coordinates the advisors, and holds the bigger picture, it's easy to lose trust, get stuck in disputes, or make decisions without understanding their implications.

So why does it happen?

Because the developer manages their side

The developer arrives with a team, experience, architects, economists, and lawyers. The apartment owners need a side managing their interest too.

Because a lawyer doesn't manage the whole process

The lawyer protects the legal rights. But there are also resident agreements, developer selection, communication, planning, timelines, and concerns that need to be managed.

Because without order, suspicion and fatigue grow

When there's no one explaining, coordinating, and updating, apartment owners stop believing in the process or get pulled along by rumors.

Because decisions that look small at the start of the road stay with the project for years

Developer selection, tender structure, consideration terms, guarantees, and timelines sometimes look like technical details. In practice, these are decisions that shape the entire project and affect the apartment owners for years to come.

This is where Shiluvim comes in, working alongside you

Getting acquainted and organizing

We meet all the apartment owners, listen to what matters to you, help you form a representation, and start working.

Forming the apartment owners and representation

We organize the apartment owners, build trust, form a representation, and begin shaping a shared position.

A developer tender that creates real competition

We build an orderly, detailed tender. All developers respond to the same line items. Offers are compared item against item, with rounds of improvement. That's how we create real competition between the developers.

From negotiation to agreement

Once the developer is selected, the work isn't over. We lead the commercial negotiation, sharpen the considerations, vet the mechanisms, surface the gaps, and make sure the gains from the tender land in a clear, binding agreement.

Planning, committees, and building permit

We accompany the project through the local and regional committees, the deposit, objections, and building permit. The apartment owners need representation in every committee - and we make sure that happens.

Oversight of the developer's commitments in practice

Through evacuation, construction, occupancy, and the inspection year, we track how the developer's commitments are actually being delivered: rent, guarantees, timelines, handover, defects, and handling of apartment owner inquiries. The goal is to make sure the agreement doesn't stay on paper - that it's executed on the ground.

Projects where the apartment owners weren't left alone

Questions apartment owners ask before moving forward

The questions that come up in almost every building - the fee, Shiluvim's role, the division of roles between Shiluvim, the lawyer and the developer, agreements between neighbors, and what happens if the project doesn't move forward.

Fee

Do apartment owners pay Shiluvim directly?

No. Shiluvim's fee is not collected directly from the apartment owners. It is agreed in advance, transparently with the apartment owners, and paid as part of the project costs as the project progresses. The model is built so that the better the consideration the apartment owners receive, the greater Shiluvim's success.

Shiluvim's role

If there's a lawyer, why also Shiluvim?

Because in a pinui-binui project, two things need to run in parallel: the legal agreement, and the process that leads to it and carries it out.

The lawyer protects the apartment owners' legal rights, reviews the agreement, drafts it, and manages the legal aspects with the developer.

Shiluvim manages the practical, commercial, and human side of the project: organizing the apartment owners, working with the representation, selecting a developer, comparing offers, commercial negotiation, advisor coordination, advancing decisions, ongoing updates, and tracking project progress.

Owners' consideration

Does your fee reduce the consideration I receive?

No. Shiluvim's fee is not collected directly from the apartment owners, and it isn't deducted from their personal consideration.

It is part of the project's cost structure, and is factored into its financial assessment, including the Standard 21 appraisal.

Our role is to help apartment owners organize, choose well, lead a stronger commercial negotiation, and protect your gains along the way.

Before you start talking to developers

What if a developer has already reached out to us?

You can reach out even if a developer has already approached the building or presented an offer. In the initial conversation we'll put things in order: what was offered, what's missing, what's worth checking before moving forward, and how to bring the apartment owners together into an organized side facing the developer. We're here to put things in order.

Can we reach out even if we're just at the beginning?

You can reach out whether you're at the very beginning, or whether a developer has already approached the building.

What if the apartment owners don't agree with each other?

Disagreement at the start is normal. Part of Shiluvim's job is to build trust, present accurate information, and help the apartment owners arrive at shared decisions. We don't impose decisions on the apartment owners. Our role is to explain the options, compare alternatives, bridge gaps, and help the apartment owners reach a broad, informed agreement.

During the project

How long do you stay with the project?

We accompany the apartment owners through the entire journey: from initial organization, through developer selection and negotiation, to the stages where the process becomes long, complex, and less clear. That's exactly where it matters most to have someone who sees the bigger picture.

What if the project doesn't move forward?

Shiluvim's fee depends on the project's progress. If no agreement is signed or no building permit is granted, there is no fee. That's why our interests and yours are fully aligned: we all want the project to happen, and to happen well.

How do the apartment owners receive updates?

Through the elected representation, apartment-owner meetings we organize, and structured update groups. Every meaningful decision is brought to all the apartment owners' attention, so the process doesn't run only between professionals and officeholders.

Professionals and roles

Do you replace the lawyer, the appraiser, or the inspector?

No. Shiluvim works alongside the professionals representing the apartment owners. The lawyer, the appraiser, and the inspector are responsible for their areas of expertise. Shiluvim coordinates between them, manages the process with the apartment owners, and makes sure information flows between all sides in an orderly way.

Do you only work in Jerusalem?

Our focus today is on Jerusalem, on pinui-binui complexes within the city. We know the Regional Committee, the Jerusalem-based professionals, and the local renewal-process characteristics intimately. That said, you can reach out from other cities too - we'll examine together whether it's a fit.

Couldn't find an answer to your question?

Even a short conversation can put the current situation in order.
