Plans for the construction of a privately financed housing development in Israel were made known today by Alfred S. Levitt, who recently returned from Israel. The development consisting of 5,000 garden type dwelling units will be situated eight miles south of Haifa, Levitt and Sons of Long Island, well known builders of large scale housing developments, will undertake construction of the project.
The Israeli Government has donated the land on which the homes will be built. Each unit will cost approximately $4,000 and will carry a 25-year mortgage. American kitchen equipment will be used in all of the homes, which will consist of four rooms.
