In a significant ceremony held days before Pesach, Berger Group marked the beginning of its ambitious BERGER TOWERS urban renewal project in Katamonim, Jerusalem. The event celebrated the demolition phase, paving the way for a transformative development in the established Katamonim neighborhood. Over 150 people attended the ceremony, including Housing Minister Yitzhak Goldknopf, Jerusalem Mayor Moshe Lion, Chairman of the Government Authority for Urban Renewal Elazar Bamberger, and other distinguished guests who joined Berger Group founder and owner Abraham Berger to commemorate this milestone. The large-scale project will transform the area replacing 95 old apartments with 392 modern residential units across three towers ranging from 25-30 floors. The development will also include 20,970 square feet of commercial space, with the entire project spanning an impressive total area of 578,000  square feet. Located strategically at the intersection of Pat and Bar Yochai streets, the development offers close proximity to three Light Rail lines (green, purple, and blue), providing exceptional connectivity throughout Jerusalem.
