Enav’s Agron Tower approved for Jerusalem’s Paris Square

The Jerusalem District Planning and Building Committee approved Enav's Agron Tower plan for Paris Square, a 30-floor tower with 110 apartments, 114 hotel rooms, two commercial floors, and public facilities, replacing the 1960s Beit Amir building. Designed by New York architect Ian Bader, the project aims to enhance the city center along the light rail line.

The Jerusalem District Planning and Building Committee approved Enav's Agron Tower plan for Paris Square, at the corner of Agron and King George Streets. The 30-floor tower will include 110 residential units, 114 hotel rooms, two commercial floors, and a floor for public facilities. It will replace Beit Amir, designed by architect David Resnick in the 1960s. The new tower was designed by New York architect Ian Bader in collaboration with Anat Eilon and Baruch Resnick, David Resnick's son. The committee ruled the plan offers appropriate development at a central junction along the light rail line, constituting an important pillar in the city's continued development with architectural and design excellence. The committee also decided the high-rise construction is consistent with municipal and national planning policy for density along public transportation routes, and the mix of uses will strengthen the city center, economic activity, and public space. Enav CEO Efi Katz welcomed the decision as a major milestone, calling it a vote of confidence in Enav's planning and vision. Enav has undertaken more than 30 urban renewal projects throughout Israel, with a backlog of more than 18,000 housing units in various stages of planning and construction.
