Haifa District planners have formally deposited a new housing plan for Hadera, called “Complex 13,” after it was advanced by the Israel Land Authority and published for public objections on November 26, 2025. The development covers about 310 dunams in the northern part of the city, mostly on state-owned land.
The scheme, prepared by architects Ayala Ronal and Yulia Freiling, is based on Hadera’s master plan and envisions a residential neighborhood with about 3,000 apartments in buildings rising 8 to 16 stories. It also allocates space for public buildings, open public areas, and commercial and employment uses.
A neighborhood park is planned along a local stream that drains into the Hadera stream, alongside other green and public spaces for residents. According to officials, the project is meant to combine dense housing with a broad public realm and a mix of uses.
Haifa District Planner Ronen Segal said the plan makes efficient use of land while providing needed public areas, adding that the apartments will come in different sizes for different populations. Haifa District Committee chair Ruth Schwartz called it an important plan for the city on available state land, saying it was advanced through “blessed cooperation” between the Israel Land Authority and the Hadera municipality and was deposited quickly because of its importance. Nehemiah van Dijk, head of the Haifa region at the Israel Land Authority, said the deposit marks a major step toward a new, high-quality neighborhood in northern Hadera and that the project will help expand housing supply, connect existing neighborhoods, and create a greener urban environment.
