At the same time, Sahar will sell 21% of its shares to Elovitch's partner in Eurocom Global Real Estate Ltd. (TASE: EGRE), Dr. Yair Weil. The deal reflects a company value of NIS 42 million for Sahar.

It is necessary to located and buy the site, build and finance construction, after which the company receives revenue over a period of years.
Eurocom VP and Sahar CEO Amikam Shorer said, "If we expand our cleantech activities beyond the present deal, Sahar will be the designated company.
