The National Subcommittee for Rezoning Offices to Housing has halved the space allocated to offices in the southeast section of Rishon Lezion’s Eleph complex and instead allocated it for the construction of 113 small apartments. This is the subcommittee’s first decision since it was established in November 2021. The subcommittee was set up in the wake of the Covid pandemic due to the shortfall of new residential projects and plans for excessive amounts of new office space.
