- Tel Aviv's Beit Romano historic building will be preserved for public cultural use.
- The plan includes building approximately 240 housing units in 50-story towers nearby.
- Public outcry followed the building's sale to real estate company YBOX in 2022.
- The rooftop of Beit Romano will be developed as an "active roof" for the public.
- Two other historic buildings, Beit Ponrov and Beit Brin, will also be preserved.
The Tel Aviv District Planning and Building Commission has given final approval to a plan that will preserve the historic Beit Romano building in Tel Aviv, which currently houses the "Teder" cultural center, and designate it for public use. The decision comes after significant public outcry following the building's sale in 2022 to the YBOX real estate company for approximately 370 million shekels, sparking fears of its demolition for luxury towers.
The approved urban renewal plan covers about 11.2 dunams along Eilat Street and Jaffa Road. The historic Beit Romano building itself will be maintained, with special provisions to preserve its architectural character and ongoing cultural activities. "We are ensuring the future of one of Tel Aviv's unique cultural centers by transferring spaces in the building to public hands," stated Erez Ben Eliezer, district planner for Tel Aviv at the Planning Administration. The plan allows for additional floors to be added above the existing structure, provided its historical volume, inner courtyard, and open passages are preserved.
The rooftop of Beit Romano will be developed as an "active roof" for public enjoyment. In the eastern sections of the complex, approximately 240 housing units, including affordable housing, will be constructed in towers reaching about 50 stories. Ben Eliezer described the plan as one that "combines the preservation of urban heritage with intensive urban development in the heart of the metropolis." Additionally, around 3,500 square meters will be allocated for commerce, employment, and built public spaces.
The plan also includes the preservation of two other historic structures within the complex: Beit Ponrov and Beit Brin. The agreement, which the approved plan now implements, was reached between the municipality and the developer YBOX, where Beit Romano would be transferred to public ownership in exchange for YBOX receiving building rights on adjacent plots. The plan was jointly submitted by YBOX and the Tel Aviv-Yafo Local Committee.
