Project Geiha Approved

by A. Cohen

Municipal Building Plan 360 -- Project Geiha, for the construction of a 39 story building near the Bnei Brak Geiha junction has been approved by the Interior Ministry Regional Committee for Planning and Building for Tel Aviv.

The plan extends over an area of 16 dunams (160,000 square feet) of Bnei Brak, bordered by HaRav Hildesheimer Street in the north, HaRav Kalisher Street in the west and Jabotinsky to the south, and the Geiha highway in the east, within the limits of the Shikun Hey and Ganei Gad neighborhoods. The land is owned by the Bnei Brak Municipality, the Israel Land Administration and private interests. The plan will be carried out by the Municipal Planning and Building Committee and the Geiha Construction and Investments Corporation.

The project includes a tower of 36,806 square meters (368,060 square feet), 4000 of which are earmarked for commerce, 1300 for public use, and 300 for a transportation terminal.

The building will include two commercial floors, topped by 39 stories above and 4 basement levels below. The first two floors will include offices, clinics, food establishments, sport facilities and public meeting halls. In accordance with the Planning and Building Law, the third and fourth floors (a total of 1300 square meters) will be for public use to benefit the nearby neighborhoods.

Large areas of the project have been set aside for gardens and playgrounds.

Acoustic techniques to minimize noise from traffic will be used in the building, as stipulated by the Ministry of the Environment. Work will be executed only during permitted work hours. Access to the project by transportation will be subject to Ministry of Transportation approval.

The project and the taxes it will generate is an important part of the plan of Mayor Mordechai Karelitz's plan to balance Bnei Brak's budget.
