Led by its chairman, Hertzel Habas, the Habas Group is steeped in family tradition. Tracing its Israeli roots back to 1908, the family business branched out into manufacturing and real estate. In 1953, Hertzel's grandfather, Herzel, established the real estate firm Herzel Habas Co. The company, along with several other Habas family private companies and the publicly traded Habas Investments (1960) Ltd. (TASE: HBS), eventually became known as the Habas Group.
Standing out among the hundreds of thousands of square meters of real estate projects built by the Habas Group in Israel and abroad are its two flagship residential projects in Israel - Yoo Tel Aviv and 1 Rothschild Boulevard. A crown jewel in the global collection of Yoo projects headed by international designer Philippe Starck, Yoo Tel Aviv sets the standard for luxurious living in Israel. Bearing Starck's eclectic signature throughout its 300 lavish apartments and chic communal spaces, Yoo Tel Aviv's two circular towers soar above the city's prestigious Park Heights neighborhood, whose very existence is the result of Hertzel Habas' extraordinary vision.
