IT WAS a case of sweet revenge for real estate entrepreneur and developer Alfred Akirov when Jerusalem District Judge Yaacov Tsaban ordered the Jerusalem Municipality to pay compensation in excess of NIS 100 million to his company Alrov, for loss of revenues in the eight-year delay incurred in building the second phase of his Mamilla project. The delay resulted from the refusal by Carta, the municipality's company for the development of Mamilla, to approve the overall plan for a commercial center, which included a hotel, shopping mall and cinema complex. Carta found the cinema complex problematic in that there was a presumption that it would screen movies on the Sabbath. Akirov's assurances that there would be no violation of the Sabbath fell on deaf ears. Construction was resumed a couple of months back and is progressing at a rapid pace. Akirov said on the eve of the renewal of construction that the municipality had lost NIS 100 million in arnona revenue due to the suspension of work. Akirov plans to complete the project by Spring 2008, but judging by the speed with which the building is going up, it may be open for business well in advance of the date set by Akirov.
