TEL AVIV, Israel — Africa-Israel Investments rose to the highest level in a month after the holding company's AFI Development unit reached an understanding with the Moscow municipality on rights in a shopping center.
The shares advanced 5.6 percent to 28.94 shekels, the highest since Feb. 28, at the 4:30 p.m. close Sunday in Tel Aviv.
The unit of Lev Leviev's holding company reached a nonbinding understanding with the Moscow administration to transfer development rights in the Tverskaya Zastava shopping center to the city in exchange for full compensation of development costs to date. Another understanding provides for AFI Development to buy the city's 25 percent share in AFI Mall City and an adjacent parking facility for about $310 million.

A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
Remind me later.
