Jerusalem has approved a significant urban renewal plan for a new mixed-use complex in the Katamon neighborhood. The development, spearheaded by entrepreneur Avi Hhaber, will feature a 29-story tower at 24 Yehuda Hanasi Street. The approved urban building plan (Taba) allows for the construction of 134 housing units, approximately 5,000 square meters of commercial and employment space, and public areas. This project marks a key milestone for Hhaber, integrating residential, commercial, and office functions within a single complex, reflecting the company's extensive experience in real estate development. The site is located near the intersection of Yehuda Hanasi and Tuvia streets, close to the Pat junction. The plan encompasses 3.22 dunams and includes a base with commercial and employment floors, topped by 23 residential floors. Twenty percent of the residential units will be small apartments, with typical floors offering three and five-room units. The base will also house approximately 730 square meters of public building space. Additionally, the design includes a garden floor and a four to five-level underground parking garage, along with about 525 square meters of open public space. The integration of various uses is central to the project's design, aiming to create a vibrant hub that serves both residents and the surrounding urban environment. The plan also considers the proximity of an approved light rail route, enhancing connectivity. The approval of the Taba is a crucial step towards the project's realization, setting the framework for detailed planning and permitting processes. Avi Hhaber, the controlling shareholder of the company, has been active in real estate development since 2003, with projects ranging from Eilat to Acre.
