Eilat builds the first neighborhood with a sea view

The Eilat Local Planning and Building Committee agreed to re-divide the more than 100 acres used by the IDF and the Eilat Port for housing. A new neighborhood will be built on the site along the coast south of the Red Sea resort, near Dicle Beach. When completed, the Elati neighborhood project promoted by Mayor Meir Yitzhak Halevy will become the city’s first waterfront residential neighborhood. According to the plan, 1,400 apartments and commercial space will be built on 135 acres along and near the coast. New hotels and offices will also be built in the area. Route 90, the main highway between downtown Eilat and the Egyptian border in Taba, will pass through the center of the new neighborhood. Conservative estimates believe that the Israel Land Administration (ILA) will take two years before it publishes a tender to market the land to contractors. Eilat city engineer Asaf Arisha told “Globus” that the new neighborhood will be where the city meets the sea. “Every time we look for what defines Eilat’s identity. In our opinion, it should be distinctive and distinctive and not like anywhere else in the country. The plan proposes mixed use with offices, commercial spaces and perhaps hotels. The concept is to create an intensity close to the sea.” He added, “The new neighborhoods are very different from the buildings we are currently familiar with in Eilat in terms of planning and design. We are striving more to create open streets and descend on the topographic slopes towards the sea and the building itself. Graduated, as if it were organic. Route 90 will be pushed away from the sea and pushed into The interior is more towards the city and will merge with the picturesque park. We are also expanding the valleys and connecting them to the coastal strip. The building is also arranged to be linked to the sea. ” The plan was drawn up by Mayslits Kassif Roytman architects, the company also responsible for planning the Tel Aviv port and boardwalk. “In Eilat there has been a great historical oversight because hotels cut the connection between the city and the sea. This plan creates in Eilat the first and last chance for an urban fabric teeming with coastal city life reaching this beautiful beach. People will have the ability to live, work, sit in cafes and host.” Hosting and managing their urban routine by the sea. ” Prices in the new neighborhood will not be cheap. The Anglo-Saxon real estate agency agent in Eilat said that the new neighborhoods will meet the growing demand for housing in Eilat. He says that a three-room apartment in the Sheshmoun neighborhood, which is closest to the planned new neighborhood, currently costs about 1.1 million shekels, while homes in the neighborhood cost more than 3 million shekels.
