The Haifa District Committee has approved plans for a new residential neighborhood, designated as Neighborhood 14, in Caesarea. This development, initiated by the Caesarea Development Company, will span approximately 280 dunams and introduce 735 new housing units. The neighborhood will also feature public buildings, commercial spaces, and open areas, situated at the entrance to the town near the Or Akiva interchange, west of Highway 2, and north of the existing golf courses.
The plan includes a diverse range of construction, with about 475 units in multi-family buildings and approximately 260 units on lots for duplexes and four-family homes, averaging six housing units per dunam. It also incorporates an internal road system, connections to existing roads, and a system of open spaces designed to surround the neighborhood and link it to adjacent areas and the golf club. Acoustic buffer zones and regulations are included due to the proximity to Highway 2.
While specific pricing for the new neighborhood is not yet determined, current property values in existing Caesarea neighborhoods like 12 and 11 are high. Homes in Neighborhood 12, for example, can cost around 10-12 million shekels for properties over 300 square meters on plots of about 650 square meters. The new development is expected to be more expensive than nearby areas like Or Yam, which is described as being in Or Akiva rather than directly adjacent to Caesarea.
Ronen Segal, district planner in the Planning Administration, stated that this is the first plan in Caesarea to include high-density housing (Residential C), allowing for the town's continued development while preserving its unique character and integrating with existing construction. Ruth Schwartz-Hanoch, chairwoman of the Haifa District Committee, added that the plan balances residential development with extensive public spaces and buildings, maintaining the town's special character and proximity to the golf facilities, all in line with the master plan for 2035.
