Commitment to innovation
The vision of “Aura Renewing Israel [Ltd.]” is expressed first and foremost through a unique approach to urban renewal: We build communities and pay significant attention to development of green and public spaces. Our projects’ locations in proximity to main traffic routes and educational and cultural institutions is as important for residents’ quality of life as the construction standard of our apartments and buildings. During the building process, we usecutting-edge methods and technologies, from the design stage, where we collaborate with the most innovative and prominent architects in Israel, through the choice of raw materials, to the uncompromising standard of our finishings. We also invest in developing Israel’s future generation of architects by keeping up to date with the latest knowledge through a collaborationwith Reichman University ([formerly] the Interdisciplinary Center Herzliya) in an active academic arena in the field of urban renewal.
Commitment to quality
Every building project must stand the test of time, which is a daily test for many years on end.This is all the more so true for renewal projects that replace the old with the new. The lasting satisfaction with the projects led and built by Aura is the best testimony of the Company’s construction quality, from the choice of raw materials to the finishings.
Commitment to community
Aura doesn’t merely build buildings. With great passion, it builds and renews entire neighborhoods and communities, through an understanding that urban renewal transforms old homes and environments into modern and advanced environments. It creates a new fabric of life and promises a fundamental and enriching transformation in the day-to-day life of residents. Each Aura housing project is intended to create a vibrant living environment includinginfrastructure, public buildings, educational institutions, health services, retail centers, sports and activity fields, green gardens and parks, all of which gives residents a better, more modern place to live and raise a family.
