Did you know that Haifa is now considered one of the cities with the highest growth potential in Israel in the real estate field? Urban renewal in Haifa is no longer just a distant promise, but a reality clearly felt on every street in the city. In 2026, the urban map is changing beyond recognition, as dozens of complexes move from planning stages to execution on the ground.

We have gathered all the active projects and rights in the central guide to urban renewal in Haifa<\/a>.<\/p>\n In recent years, the Haifa Municipality has undergone a conceptual revolution in everything related to construction and development.

The Urban Renewal Administration is currently advancing plans that include not only housing, but also commercial and leisure spaces for the benefit of the community.<\/p>\n\n Many people ask what happened to the traditional TAMA 38. The answer is that the plan was replaced by the “building renewal plan” (the Shaked alternative).
