The Tel Aviv District Planning and Building Committee has today approved for deposit the Hof Hatachelet (Blue Coast) plan for the southwest of Herzliya, including the addition of 1,600 affordable housing units for the private market.
The new neighborhood will now include 14,100 housing units in buildings of 6-8 floors between Road 2 and the seafront as well as higher buildings of 8-30 floors in the office park near Road 2.

The committee heard 46 objections to the plan and made some small changes.
The Hof Hatachelet plan also includes 640,000 square meters of public and municipal buildings, 680,000 square meters of office space, 30,000 square meters of commercial space, and 120,000 square meters of hotels with 2,000 rooms.
