As stock markets around the world have taken a fall with the economic recession, one market that remains strong is Israeli real estate. The Park Hyatt Hotel was host to Israeli real estate firms including Azorim, Gindi Holdings, Dimri Building & Development, Pollock Real Estate and Ashdar Building Company a few weeks ago when they flew into Toronto to deliver a presentation to potential investors.

It was the first time they’d done so directly, according to Ainnat Lifshitz, director of marketing and sales of Bayit4U, the company that coordinated the event. Alongside the real estate developers were bank representatives and lawyers who “give a panoramic view of Israel and cover all aspects of real estate,” she said.

Residential properties in Israel were under the spotlight as they’ve performed well in recent months. According to Lifshitz, demand for homes in Israel was up 14.6 percent in April 2009, compared to the same period in 2008.
