First residential tower to be built in Arab village
Village of Kfar Kassem to get its own skyscraper, which is set to include office and commercial spaces, luxurious housing units and a mall
For the first time in Israel, a residential tower is set to be erected in an Arab village. The 30-story skyscraper will be built over the village of Kfar Kassem's gas station at a cost of $100 million.
The developer behind the project, Israeli businessman Jamil Bin Jamil, is planning to involve Qatari partners in the venture, which has already been approved by the regional planning and construction committee.
The 120-meter tower will include commercial and office space in the lower floors, while luxurious units are set to occupy the upper floors. A huge 30,000 square meter mall will be built below the skyscraper.
