(Haipo) – The Haifa District Planning and Building Committee has approved an urban renewal plan for Brenner Street in the Ramot Remez neighborhood in Haifa. As part of the plan, two old residential buildings containing 42 housing units will be demolished, and in their place, 182 new housing units will be built in a 29-story tower and another 10-story building.
A comprehensive plan for the renewal of Brenner Street in the Ramot Remez neighborhood
The plan covers a total area of approximately 4 dunams in the Ramot Remez neighborhood, located at the lower part of 20-30 Brenner Street and near Gan Zelig. The area is designated for urban renewal as part of the strategic plan for the Neve Sha'anan neighborhood. As part of the plan, two old residential buildings will be vacated, and in their place 182 new housing units will be built in a 29-story residential tower and another 10-story building. In addition, the plan includes commercial space, public space that will be integrated into the residential buildings, as well as the expansion of Brenner Street and the creation of additional access to Gan Zelig.
Planning factors: High-quality planning that incorporates high-rise construction in the Haifa environment
Deputy Haifa District Planner at the Planning Administration, Halit Gonen, said that "the plan makes it possible to realize the urban renewal potential of old buildings that need protection and reinforcement, while creating a modern residential mix. The plan offers high-quality planning that combines high-rise and textured construction in the Haifa environment, which is characterized by steep topography and rich vegetation." The chairwoman of the Haifa District Committee, Ruth Schwartz, added that "this is an important urban renewal plan, one of the first in Neve Sha'anan. The plan's environment, which has so far developed mainly through TAMA 38, is progressing towards urban renewal that also provides a response to the public interest, through the allocation of built-up public areas, widening roads and environmental compensation that includes planting alternative mature trees in open public areas."
The apartment owners' initiative, accompanied by an entrepreneurial company
The plan is the initiative of the apartment owners, who came together and chose the development company Avnei Derech Urban Renewal Ltd. to promote the project. The plan includes consolidation and division without the consent of the owners, and as part of the promotion, the developer carried out a social process. The plan was prepared by Nir Chen - N.C.I. Chen Architects. This is one of the first plans for comprehensive urban renewal in the Neve Sha'anan area, which is part of the broader renewal trend taking place in Haifa neighborhoods.
Did the article interest you?
How will all the additional vehicles that will arrive with the increase in the number of apartments be drained?
This was already warned about in previous projects, and it did come true.
There is no free parking, and many of the buildings have parking lots with an elevator, which for me is a "deal breaker."
What do the developers dream about and why does the municipality approve it? It's a dream. In the busiest neighborhood, there are no parking lots, trash cans are blown out. Sewers can't stand the pressure of the sewage flow. The entire neighborhood has a character of 9 to 10 stories. Where did they suddenly get 29 stories that will destroy all the nature around and will cast a shadow on all the solar water heaters in the nearby houses? Who is in a hurry to announce that the committee hasn't reached a decision yet?
A plan that destroys the landscape and skyline of Haifa. In an area with a severe parking shortage, narrow one-way roads, infrastructure that cannot handle the load, there are no escape routes in times of emergency.
It's beautiful and funny to see there's optimism.
When in Neve Yosef?
On Shed Moshe Sharett in Kiryat Yam, the Tama 38 project has been stuck for 3 years. Elderly and helpless people have been living on a construction site for 5 years. With scaffolding on the building without an elevator and safety problems with electricity and water. The end is not in sight, the developer Yaad Goltz has no money to finish the project. The Kiryat Yam Municipality and the committee are not helping. And they are giving him additional projects in Kiryat Yam. Please help us
What a disrespect for the neighborhood and the city.
The municipality continues to approve developers with multiples of 5, sometimes even 5.5, in evacuation and construction projects in Haifa.
In cities that respect their residents and their quality of life in the state of Gedera and Hadera, it is usually in multiples of around 3.5 and sometimes less than that.

Brenner Street in Ramot Remez, not NW
This is a one-time program.
And not a comprehensive plan (which there is none)
A 30-story tower will stand out like an ugly thorn in the surroundings
They will create huge traffic jams on narrow streets and alleys today.
There is no public transportation system for the additional thousands of residents in Ramot Remez.
It's madness to give developers a multiplier of 5. This is real corruption. What infrastructure will they put on each existing resident... four more residents. Neutralization is in full swing. In addition to the fact that there is already a huge surplus of apartments in many places and apartment prices are crashing... and will continue to crash. Down, down. There is no logic in these plans. Is Haifa going to absorb another 200 residents in the last decade? The opposite is true. There has been a negative growth rate for almost three decades. Total system madness.
Besides the fact that this monster is going to disgrace the neighborhood, it doesn't have enough parking and infrastructure even for the residents who already live there. I don't know who the scumbags in the city approved this, but this disgrace won't go unnoticed.
I saw the visualization and was horrified, the green space is turning into skyscrapers inside parking lots!! Maybe it would be better if the esteemed city planners went to the new neighborhoods in Netanya, (Ramat Poleg for example) or in Rishon or in northern Tel Aviv and saw how they plan the areas around the buildings!! Large spaces between the buildings, trees, blooming plants and lawns, all the parking is underground!
Let's take a walk in Ramot Peres... or in the evacuation of Rehovot, what was once a "green and prestigious estate" is now slowly becoming "Zisar a-Zarqa A".
What about the Kiryat Haim neighborhood? Why not move?
City of Monsters Slams
Inaccurate reporting of the district committee hearing
Which caused many problems in planning and execution, complex and expensive, and other issues with the municipality. The simulation is of course misleading because it is about Brenner Street, a one-lane road, compared to what appears in the simulation - a wide two-lane road. And more
Isn't it time to clear out construction in Hadar to make it truly Hadar? The contractors don't touch, give benefits.
