The District Planning and Building Commission has approved an exceptional plan to construct hundreds of housing units, commercial spaces, and employment areas above Highway 1 at the Harel Interchange in Mevaseret Zion. The project aims to transform the current transportation hub into a vibrant urban center, connecting the two parts of the community.

The plan includes the construction of 200 new housing units, with 100 designated for long-term rental for 15 years, alongside 300 units for sheltered housing. Additionally, the development will feature approximately 26,000 square meters of commercial and employment space and about 4,700 square meters for public services.

Buildings in the proposed complex will reach up to six stories, integrating residential, employment, commercial, and public service functions. The initiative seeks to efficiently utilize land above existing transportation infrastructure, creating a new urban connection and a focal point for the community.
