Welcome to SOK Israel
Thank you for taking the time to visit our website.
My name is Aleks Barafanov, and I am the CEO of SOK Israel.
A little over six years ago, I made Aliyah to Israel with my family out of a deep love for this country and a desire to invest and establish roots here. My first significant project in Israel was the creation of the SOK network.
Today, we operate two sites:
1. Tel Aviv (at full capacity)
2. Rishon Lezion (mostly full, with an additional floor currently under construction).
So why am I here?
As part of the network’s vision, we see our sites as much more than just workplaces. Our goal is to create an environment where businesses can grow, develop, and thrive. Our decision to operate in Israel stems from our understanding of the local market, which, despite its challenges, embodies unparalleled innovation, creativity, and entrepreneurial spirit.
We believe that investing in people is the key to success. Our employees are family, and we extend that same perspective to your employees – the companies and organizations hosted in our sites. That’s why we invest in an efficient, enjoyable, and comfortable work environment. Short refreshment breaks throughout the day not only improve employee productivity but also foster meaningful collaborations between companies within our sites.
SOK sites serve as fertile ground for growing businesses, thanks to the flexibility and tailored solutions we offer to companies at every stage of development. We’re proud that 76% of the companies operating with us continue to grow and expand, even in challenging times.
Our activities extend far beyond creating professional workspaces. We are committed to strengthening the local community and fostering impactful collaborations that enhance the social and business fabric of the cities where we operate. Additionally, we’ve developed partnerships with municipalities and local communities to ensure that our activities integrate harmoniously for everyone’s benefit. From offering flexibility and support to companies, nurturing startups, to collaborating with local authorities – these are all part of our vision to create real and lasting change.
As part of our commitment to a sustainable future, green building is one of our core values. We maintain advanced standards of sustainability and environmental responsibility in all our projects, believing that investing in the environment is an investment in future generations.
We will continue to lead with innovation, encourage growth, and provide the necessary support to everyone who chooses to grow with us.
With great appreciation for choosing us,
Aleks Barafanov
CEO of SOK Israel
