In the heart of the Pisgat Afek neighborhood in western Rosh Ha’ayin, construction has begun on one of the city’s most ambitious ventures – an integrated project of commerce, employment, and housing by Rami Levy Real Estate, designed by V5 Architects. The complex is being built in two hubs on either side of Shabazi Street, the neighborhood’s main thoroughfare, and is expected to become a vibrant urban center.
The first complex includes a commercial and employment building covering approximately 11,000 sq.m. The ground floor is designed as a street-level commercial area with active facades along its entire length, while above it are six modular and flexible office floors, suitable for businesses of various sizes. The first commercial floor will feature open terraces, and the rooftop will have a large terrace for events and gatherings. The building is designed as a prominent architectural element – an "environmental sculpture" set to become a new landmark in the neighborhood. Work began after obtaining permits for excavation and lining.
According to Shir Garfield, Marketing Manager at Rami Levy Real Estate: "From the very first moment, we saw in this project an exceptional opportunity to create, in the heart of Pisgat Afek, a lively and vibrant center for commerce, employment, and housing. In our eyes, this is not just another real estate project, but a place that will connect people, attract new businesses, and contribute to creating a new urban heart in Rosh Ha’ayin."
The second complex, in its final planning stages, will include a commercial podium with three residential buildings above – two five-story buildings and one nine-story building, totaling 80 housing units. The apartments will range from large garden apartments to penthouses and mini-penthouses, all finished to a high standard with meticulous planning. The buildings will create an intimate green inner courtyard for residents, allowing community gatherings in a peaceful setting.
Architect Tali Darel, partner at V5 Architects and responsible for the project, said: "We sought to create something different – architecture with presence, something that can be felt on the street. A project that not only meets functional needs but also creates an aesthetic, urban, and community experience. The buildings we design are an integral part of the environment – but they also give it a new identity."
