A unique residential project featuring three eight-story buildings with 110 ultra-small apartments, alongside commercial and employment spaces, has been approved in Mazkeret Batya, central Israel. The development, located on a 8-dunam (approximately 2-acre) lot adjacent to the train station, aims to create a new urban hub by integrating residential, commercial, and employment uses around a large public square. The project, which was approved within a rapid nine-month timeframe, is designed to attract a young population to the area, particularly those reliant on public transportation.
One of the buildings will be entirely dedicated to housing the 110 micro-apartments, each measuring just 45 square meters. The other two buildings will be allocated for employment. The development also includes two ground-floor commercial levels and a public square of about 1400 square meters, connecting to the train station complex.
This plan represents a significant planning shift for the suburban town, transforming the lot from its current designation for commerce and employment, which allowed for a three-story structure, into a vibrant mixed-use center. The initiative aligns with Mazkeret Batya's master plan and a policy document for the railway district approved in April 2022, emphasizing the strengthening of the train station area as an active urban focal point.
The planning committee highlighted the project's speed of approval and its objective to leverage the proximity to public transport to develop Mazkeret Batya's employment zone and create an accessible living and working environment.
