The city of Bat Yam has given final approval to a large-scale urban renewal plan that will see hundreds of old apartments replaced by new high-rise buildings and residential complexes. The project, initiated by the Bat Yam Municipality in cooperation with the National Urban Renewal Authority, covers approximately 80 dunams (about 20 acres) and is expected to add about 1,400 new apartments, nearly quadrupling the current number of residences in the area. The plan includes the construction of 42-story towers concentrated in the eastern part of the complex, near the Ayalon highways and the future "Wolfson" metro station. Alongside these towers, lower-rise buildings of up to 10 stories will be constructed. Approximately 660 of the planned apartments will be small units, designed to accommodate various household sizes. The development also incorporates about 17,300 square meters of commercial and employment space, public buildings, open areas, and a new urban plaza. During the review of objections, the District Planning Committee made several adjustments to the original design, including adding housing units in some areas, updating building heights, and converting some employment spaces near the Ayalon highways to residential use. A notable aspect of the plan is the reduced parking allocation, with an average of 0.7 parking spaces per apartment, a decision influenced by the proximity to the planned light rail and metro stations.
