The Gazit-Globe Real Estate Institute and the Herzliya Municipality held an online meeting on December 9, 2020, on the “Master Plan for the Renewal of the Herzliya high-tech park - HR/2440.” Herzliya’s western high-tech zone is one of Israel’s most distinctive and prominent high-tech parks, encompassing leading Israeli and international high-tech companies as well as hotels, restaurants, and places of recreation and leisure. The goal of the plan is to maximize building rights by the mixed-use development of offices, commercial spaces, special small residences of up to 50 square meters, hotels, recreation and leisure spaces, and public areas, while taking into account the changing needs of the area as an active, dynamic, and economically robust urban district. The plan will convert the area from an industrial and business complex into a lively, urban employment district that is an integral part of the city. The purpose of the meeting was to present the principles of the master plan to the public and to potential stakeholders.
The meeting was moderated by Keren Marciano, economic editor of Channel 12 News, and featured the following speakers: Moshe Fadlon, mayor of Herzliya; Ofra Bell, deputy mayor of Herzliya and chair of the Industrial Zone Administration; Prof. Amnon Lehavi, dean of the Harry Radzyner Law School and academic director of the Gazit-Globe Real Estate Institute at Reichman Uniersity; Dr. Efrat Tolkowsky, CEO of the Gazit-Globe Real Estate Institute, architect Hana Hermesh, engineer of the City of Herzliya; architect Elie Derman of Derman Verbakel Architecture; Oren Hod, executive vice president of Gazit Globe; Matty Brodo, founder and owner of R2M Group; Eli Carmon, CFO of Microsoft Israel R&D; Leon Avigad, co-owner of Brown Hotels; Daniela Paz Erez, founder and CEO of Paz Economy and Engineering; Monica Zer-Zion, city architect and director of Planning at the Herzliya Municipality; Liora Brener, deputy director of Planning and director of the Department of Innovation, Environment and Sustainability at the Herzliya Municipality; Aviva Malka, director of the Department of Transportation Infrastructure at the Herzliya Municipality, and architect Liz Leibowitz of Derman Verbakel Architecture.
