The Tel Aviv District Planning and Construction Committee has decided to approve the plan to evacuate construction in the Achi Decker complex in the Neve Sharet neighborhood of Tel Aviv. This is a plan in an area of approximately 45 dunams, located along Achi Decker and Beit El streets. The complex currently has 451 housing units in 22 3-4 storey buildings. The new plan includes about 1,160 housing units to be built in 6 11-story buildings and another 7 towers of varying heights between 24-29 floors. Of all housing units, 232 will be allocated for small apartments.
Neve Sharet neighborhood is a residential neighborhood located in northeast Tel Aviv. This is an “edge neighborhood”, which is bounded on the north and east by the agricultural areas of Ramat Hasharon and the orchards belonging to Tel Aviv-Yafo. To the northwest it borders the Tzahala neighborhood, and to the southwest it borders the Kiryat Atidim employment area and Ramat Hachayal. The neighborhood, which was established after the establishment of the state on the basis of the “Yad HaMabir” transit camp, was considered for many years a foreign plant between the neighborhoods past the northern Yarkon. In recent years, the neighborhood has undergone a metamorphosis and the old housing estates are being demolished in favor of new construction.

The renovation plan for the Achi Decker complex allocates public areas in some of the residential towers and in designated buildings totaling approximately 10,000 square meters. In addition, the proposed construction is planned along a central open public area of approximately 6 dunams, which will constitute a community meeting place. In the transportation aspect, the plan rearranges the array of roads in the form of continuous and connecting streets, instead of the current situation where the streets are dead-end and all connect to Beit El Street. The plan is divided into 3 complexes in order to allow flexibility in the development of the complex and the advancement of the construction evacuation procedure, thus a separate complex.
The plan is initiated by the Tel Aviv-Jaffa Local Committee, P. B. B, a company for the evacuation of construction and housing and construction real estate Ltd., and was prepared by the firm Tito-Oman Architects and Urban Planners.
