HaArazim Project: A New Landmark in Jerusalem’s Beit HaKerem Neighborhood

The HaArazim Project redefines luxury living in one of Jerusalem's most sought-after neighborhoods, Beit HaKerem. This ambitious demolition and reconstruction project transforms the area with a bold vision: replacing 154 outdated housing units with 401 meticulously designed apartments, complemented by vibrant street-level commerce and community-focused kindergartens.

A Rare Convergence of City and Nature

Situated at the intersection of urban Jerusalem and the serene Jerusalem Forest, HaArazim celebrates this unique convergence. The architectural design blurs the boundaries between city and nature, creating a seamless dialogue between the two. The building facades reflect this harmony—traditional Jerusalem stone contrasts with a contemporary "peeling" envelope that reveals warm, earthy tones inspired by the forest. This duality symbolizes the project's essence: bridging the old and the new, the city and the forest.

Architectural Vision and Layout

The project is composed of 15 buildings thoughtfully integrated into the landscape:

• 6 low-rise buildings (6 stories each), positioned along Arzim Street, offering a welcoming urban façade with commercial spaces at ground level.
• 7 mid-rise towers, ranging from 13 to 19 stories, strategically located along the mountainside to maximize views of the forest and surrounding areas.
• 2 kindergarten buildings, nestled at the project’s edge, providing educational and community support for families.

A lush, landscaped area with central plazas connects all the routes inside the project, creating scenic openings that invite the forest into the development. These spaces not only enhance the visual connection to nature but also serve as vibrant community hubs for residents.

A New Benchmark in Urban Design

The HaArazim Project exemplifies innovative urban renewal, balancing modern design with Jerusalem's historical and natural identity. It caters to residents seeking luxurious, nature-adjacent living while creating value for real estate developers by revitalizing a prime neighborhood.

This project stands as a testament to the ability of architecture to transform spaces, foster community, and harmonize the built environment with its natural surroundings. Welcome to HaArazim—a gateway to modern Jerusalem living.
