Gav Yam (Bayside): A Stock to Sleep Well at Night
Gav Yam (or in her english name Bayside) is a company that develops and rents industrial real-estate and develops residential projects in Israel. It is a very old company (for Israeli standards), founded in 1928 to help develop the industrial infrastructure of the yet to be born country.
