Planning Team: Ari Cohen, Michael Wind
The plan is located on a lot which was originally intended exclusively for commercial use. The plan proposes extra residential floors above a commercial level. The planning challenge is to enable infrastructure to serve all the different intended uses despite the restrictive dimensions of the lot. The planned building will have accessible links to Hebron Road to the west as well as to the public park to the east. Due to the small size of the lot, it was decided that the allocations for public use in this plan will be built into the structure itself – two of the apartments will be transferred to municipal ownership for the use of new immigrants.
The construction policy providing for densification of new construction along proposed light rail lines- adopted in 2016 by municipal planning committees- raised the option of planning the building as a tower integrating complementary planning
