A new residential district in northern Hadera has been approved by the Haifa District Planning Committee, paving the way for a large-scale project known as “Complex 13.” The plan covers about 310 dunams, mostly on state land, and is based on the city’s master plan.
The development calls for about 3,000 housing units in buildings ranging from 8 to 16 stories. It also includes public buildings, open public spaces, a neighborhood park along a local stream that drains into the Hadera Stream, and areas for commerce and employment.
District planner Ronen Segal said the plan makes efficient use of land while providing needed public space. He added that it offers apartments of different sizes to meet the needs of different populations. Haifa District Committee chair Ruth Schwartz said it is a significant plan for the city on state land available for development, and noted that it advanced through close cooperation between the Israel Land Authority and the Hadera municipality.
Schwartz said the plan was deposited in a short timeframe because of its importance. The Israel Land Authority’s Haifa regional head, Nehemia Van Dyke, said the deposit marks an important stage in advancing a new and quality neighborhood in northern Hadera, with a varied housing mix, retail and employment space, and a large urban park. He said the move will increase the city’s housing supply and help create a stronger urban connection between existing neighborhoods.
