Jerusalem District Committee Approves 29-Story Mixed-Use Tower in Katamon

The Jerusalem District Committee has approved a plan to construct a 29-story mixed-use tower in the Katamonim (Gonenim) neighborhood of Jerusalem. The project, spearheaded by Nissei Legssey company, jointly owned by developers Avi Hber and Yechiel Gelman, will be located on Yehuda HaNasi Street, near the Pat Junction and along the route of the Jerusalem Light Rail's Purple Line. The tower, designed by Hawk Architects, is planned for a 3.22-dunam plot. The plan includes 134 housing units, approximately 5,000 square meters of commercial and employment space, and public areas. Specifically, 23 floors will be dedicated to residential units, with 20% designated as small apartments under 55 square meters. The base of the tower will feature five floors for employment, commercial spaces, and a public building of about 730 square meters. Additionally, a garden level, a four to five-story underground parking garage, and an open public space of approximately 525 square meters are planned. No objections were filed against the plan. Developers estimate that a building permit will be obtained within approximately 10 months, at which point construction will commence. The project's strategic location near the Pat Junction offers excellent access to transportation routes, further enhanced by its proximity to the planned light rail line, which is expected to boost accessibility to the complex. Avi Hber, a controlling shareholder in A. Hber company, which has been active in real estate since 2003, is among the developers behind this project. His company's activities span residential, commercial, office, logistics, and hotel projects across Israel.
