The plan, initiated by Aura, includes the construction of 950 new housing units on an area of ​​approximately 42 dunams, a mix of uses, public areas, and an expansion of the school area in the complex.

Comprehensive renewal in the heart of the neighborhood: demolition of old buildings and construction of residential towers

The plan offers comprehensive urban renewal in the heart of the Kiryat Eliezer neighborhood and integrates into the neighborhood master plan, while creating a connection to the adjacent complex. The plan area is located between Allenby, Tzahal and Gadna streets. As part of the plan, 10 existing 4-story buildings, including 216 unprotected housing units, will be demolished, and six residential buildings with a height of 22 to 35 floors will be erected in their place. The planning makes unique use of the topography of the complex and offers a mix of uses that includes commercial and employment areas, built public areas and open public areas. The plan was prepared by Schwartz at Sanosoff Architects.

A diverse housing mix and strengthening public services in the neighborhood

The housing mix in the project will include a variety of types of housing units, including small and residential apartments, alongside floors designated for commerce and employment and public floors built. In addition to the housing units, the plan strengthens the response to the needs of the public in the neighborhood, among other things by increasing the public areas in the "Reut" school complex by approximately 4 dunams.

Haifa District Planner at the Planning Administration, Ronen Segal, said that "the plan offers comprehensive urban planning and a balance between residential needs and the needs of the public in the area. The integration of commercial areas, employment, built and open public areas and the expansion of the central educational institution in the complex, alongside the mix of uses, the mix of housing units and accessibility to the main streets, create a high-quality, bustling and active urban environment for the well-being of the residents."
