Issta Properties: The Logistics Pipeline That Could Recast the Company from a Hotel Story into an Industrial NOI Story
In 2025 logistics still contributed only NIS 16.2 million of company-share NOI, but within Israeli investment property under construction it already concentrates NIS 889.3 million of carrying value and another NIS 795.3 million of remaining construction budget. The real test is no longer strategic intent, but whether Timorim and Yoav can actually convert that capital into industrial NOI.
The Capital Has Already Moved to Logistics, the NOI Has Not
The main article already framed the key question at Issta Properties as more than just how much value was booked in 2025. The real issue is how quickly that value turns into assets that actually generate NOI and cash. This follow-up isolates the place where that question becomes most acute: the logistics pipeline.
The core gap is straightforward. In the 2025 numbers, logistics is still not the center of the story. Company-share NOI from logistics stood at NIS 16.2 million. That is below Israel hotels at NIS 23.2 million, well below overseas hotels at NIS 40.3 million, and also below offices and other assets at NIS 28.5 million. Anyone looking only at current NOI still sees a company led mainly by hotels and other assets, not by industrial and logistics income.
But underneath the current NOI line sits a very different reality. In the table of Israeli assets under construction, the industrial, light-industrial, and logistics bucket already carries NIS 889.3 million at year-end 2025, with another NIS 795.3 million of remaining construction budget. That is the center of gravity of the Israeli pipeline: roughly 76.5% of the carrying value shown in Israeli construction assets and about 63.4% of the remaining Israeli construction budget sit there. LTV stands at 54%, while only 16% of the built area is already signed. This is no longer a small side option. It is the main destination for development capital.
That leads to the most important conclusion. The shift from a hotel story toward an industrial NOI story has not yet shown up in the income statement, but it is already embedded deep inside the investment map. So the right question is not whether management wants the company to become more logistics-led. It is already allocating most of its Israeli development capital there. The real question is which parts of the pipeline are already close to NOI, and which parts are still asking the market to grant value before a tenant is actually signed.
Timorim Supplies the NOI, Yoav Still Demands Trust
The logistics pipeline is not one uniform block. In the current disclosure it effectively splits into two different asset types. On one side are projects such as Timorim, where the company already gives a fairly usable picture of representative NOI, completion dates, and signing levels. On the other side is Yoav, the larger and more ambitious cluster, but also the place where the company is still asking the market to believe in value before binding lease contracts exist.
Timorim Is the Part Already Moving Toward Cash Flow
Within Timorim the company lays out three main projects. Timorim A+B is expected to finish in 2026, with value of NIS 46.1 million, expected representative NOI of NIS 4.3 million, and 0% of area signed as of year-end 2025. Timorim H is expected to finish in 2027, with value of NIS 110.4 million, expected representative NOI of NIS 13.5 million, and 100% of area signed. Timorim V is expected to finish in 2026, with value of NIS 189.8 million, expected representative NOI of NIS 14.3 million, and 40% of area signed.
Together, the three Timorim projects imply NIS 32.0 million of representative NOI on the company's share. That is almost double the logistics NOI the company is already showing for 2025. More importantly, roughly 68.8% of all representative NOI the company is already willing to disclose across logistics, industrial, and light-industrial projects in planning and construction is concentrated in Timorim. That is the first real concentration point in the story. If logistics is going to become a genuine NOI engine, a large part of the first step-up needs to come from there.
That chart also explains why Timorim matters more than the land count alone. Timorim H is already fully signed, and Timorim V is already 40% signed, so this cluster is no longer just land. It is already starting to look like a transition from development capital into income-producing assets. Timorim A+B, by contrast, is the reminder that the story is not fully closed: a near completion date on its own does not create NOI if the space is still empty.
Yoav Is the Part Asking for Value Before Tenants
Yoav looks very different. After the July 2025 rights allocation between the company and its partner, the company retained full rights in plots 600 and 501, and 70% in plot 601, while plot 602 was left with the partner. In August 2025, another 30% of the company's rights in plot 601 was sold to two third parties. The result is a more concentrated Yoav cluster inside the company, but also one that is far more exposed to its own execution.
| Plot | Company share | Expected completion | Fair value at end-2025 | Cumulative cost at end-2025 | Total expected investment | Signed leases |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Yoav 601 | 70% | 2028 | 145.6 | 137.3 | 304.5 | None |
| Yoav 600 | 100% | 2027 | 134.9 | 118.5 | 240.4 | None |
| Yoav 501 | 100% | 2028 | 121.8 | 111.9 | 289.0 | None |
Those three Yoav plots together stand at NIS 402.3 million of fair value and NIS 367.7 million of cumulative cost, but total expected investment reaches NIS 833.8 million. That means the cluster still requires about NIS 466.1 million of additional capital to reach full completion, all while the company still does not disclose any signing ratio or representative NOI for it as of year-end 2025.
That is the essence of the Timorim versus Yoav distinction. Timorim is already starting to look like NOI waiting to be delivered and occupied. Yoav still looks like capital that first has to prove itself.
Yoav's Value Rose, but the Assumption per Square Meter Actually Fell
The least intuitive point in Yoav sits inside the valuation assumptions. Across all three plots, the appraiser's value per square meter fell from NIS 4,680 in 2023 to NIS 3,950 in 2024, and stayed at NIS 3,950 in 2025. In other words, the rise in Yoav's fair value did not come from a richer land multiple or a better core valuation assumption. The opposite is true: the implied value per square meter was cut by about 15.6% versus 2023.
The annual revaluation line is not flattering either. In 2025 the three Yoav plots recorded a combined fair-value loss of about NIS 7.0 million: NIS 2.2 million on plot 601, NIS 3.1 million on plot 600, and NIS 1.7 million on plot 501. So the increase in the cluster's fair value from NIS 294.2 million at the end of 2024 to NIS 402.3 million at the end of 2025 came mainly from continued investment, not from a qualitative improvement in commercial assumptions or signed leasing.
That distinction matters because it separates two kinds of value creation. One kind comes from the developer investing more capital and progressing the project physically. The other comes from de-risking: the asset advances, secures tenants, shortens commercial risk, and moves closer to actual NOI. As of year-end 2025, Yoav still sits mainly in the first category.
The Risk Is Not Just Execution Speed, but Execution Concentration
Once all the pieces are combined, the logistics pipeline emerges as both the engine of change and the source of concentration. On the one hand, logistics, industrial, and light-industrial projects for which the company already discloses representative NOI add up to NIS 46.6 million on the company's share, nearly 2.9 times current logistics NOI. That is real evidence behind the argument that the company is trying to build an industrial NOI leg for itself.
On the other hand, the path there is highly concentrated. Timorim alone holds close to 70% of the representative NOI already disclosed, while Yoav alone holds a cluster of more than NIS 400 million of fair value, with hundreds of millions of shekels still left to invest, yet with no signed lease base and no representative NOI. That is not just an execution issue. It is an issue of sequencing within the maturation curve.
If Timorim is delivered on time and begins occupancy broadly in line with current assumptions, the company will start showing the market that logistics can actually produce NOI. If Yoav stays too long in a fair-value-without-anchor-tenant state, the company could remain with an industrial story on paper while actual NOI still rests mainly on hotels and other assets. The combination of only 16% total signed area in the Israeli construction pipeline and NIS 795.3 million of remaining construction budget makes clear how much this transition still depends on conversion, not just intent.
What Has to Happen Next
If the company is to be seen as a real industrial NOI story, it is not enough for logistics to be the place where most of the capital has been allocated. Three concrete things need to happen over the next 2 to 4 quarters.
| Test | What needs to happen |
|---|---|
| Timorim | Timorim A+B and Timorim V need to be completed on time, and signed space needs to convert into actual NOI without a material gap versus the representative numbers |
| Yoav | Yoav needs anchor tenants, or at least a move into a stage where the company can disclose signing levels and representative NOI rather than only value and cost |
| The full construction pipeline | The remaining budget and sector LTV need to stop acting as a repeated bridge delay between development capital and actual income-producing assets |
The bottom line is fairly sharp. In the 2025 reported result, Issta Properties still does not look like an industrial NOI company. But if you look at where the money, time, and execution burden are concentrated, that is exactly the direction management is trying to push it. Timorim is the first proof point that the story can work. Yoav is the larger proof point that it can work at scale.
