Tel Aviv-Yafo’s planning subcommittee voted on October 21, 2026 to advance an urban renewal plan for the Neve Sha’anan neighborhood to public review. The plan would replace seven residential buildings of two to four stories with three 11-story buildings.
Once the plan is published, the public can file objections. This is not final approval.
The plan, known as “Har Zion-Hazanovich,” covers a block bounded by HaKongres Street to the north, Hazanovich Street to the west and Har Zion Boulevard to the east, including 34-44 Har Zion Boulevard (even numbers), 26-28 HaKongres Street (even numbers) and 1-7 Hazanovich Street (odd numbers). It covers about 12 dunams.
The block contains a historic well house that an earlier citywide plan for the city’s well houses placed under strict preservation. The new plan regulates its preservation, and part of its building rights and preservation incentives will be transferred to a separate lot at 44 Salame Road. That transfer adds five residential floors to a 17-story building there.
The plan was submitted by the Yuvalim company together with the local committee. Conditions set by the committee include a maintenance agreement for the well house, social support for residents during the permit stage and green building standards for the Salame building. The decision will lapse if the conditions are not met within four months.
More information is available on the municipality website.
