The Tel Aviv District Planning and Building Commission has approved the plan for the permanent building of the United Arab Emirates' embassy in Israel. The embassy will be located on a 2.5-dunam plot at 9 Sapir Street in the Herzliya Pituah industrial zone. This project, deemed politically and nationally significant, follows the Abraham Accords and the establishment of diplomatic relations between Israel and the UAE in 2020. Currently, the embassy operates from temporary offices in Tel Aviv and Herzliya, and the new structure will serve as its permanent home.
The approved plan allows for construction of up to 15,000 square meters in a building reaching 15 stories. The top floors will include residences for the ambassador and embassy staff, accounting for up to 20% of the building's construction rights. The plan also incorporates a separate entrance to an underground parking lot, widening Sapir Street to create public space with shade trees and improved pedestrian areas.
The land designated for the embassy is owned by the Herzliya Municipality. In coordination with the Israel Land Authority, the land is being transferred to state ownership for lease to the UAE. In exchange, the municipality will receive an alternative plot in the Marina area. Erez Ben Eliyazer, district planner of Tel Aviv in the Planning Administration, stated that the plan will strengthen international ties and encourage future cooperation. He noted that locating the embassy in the industrial zone, near high-tech centers, will make it a significant landmark.
