Alfred Akirov’s Mamilla project in central Jerusalem has finally been approved. The National Planning and Building Council announced last Wednesday that following the withdrawal of a request for a new hearing, the Council’s procedures were concluded. The Council chairman ordered the chairman of the Jerusalem District Planning and Building Commission to complete the approval procedures.
The 20-dunam (5-acre) Mamila project will have 20,000 sq.m. of commercial, 5,000 sq.m. of office space, a 300-room hotel, and 100 apartments.
The project has been stuck in various planning committees for years, due to the opposition of haredi (ultra-orthodox) groups in Jerusalem, who objected to the building of cinemas in the project that would be operated on Sabbath. In 1998, Akirov asked revise the Urban Building Plan (UBP), in part to include the cinemas. Jerusalem Mayor Uri Lupolianski opposes the project, and the Jerusalem District Planning and Building Commission, which he headed at the time, rejected Akirov’s request.

In 1972 MSA was commissioned to develop an urban design for a 28-acre site comprising a central business district and mixed-use district in this former no-man's land between the Israeli and Jordanian sections of Jerusalem. The master plan called for creating a park in the historic valley of Hinome. MSA was then retained to undertake all building on the site. On the south bank are 200 residential units and a 350-room hotel; on the north bank are a bus terminal, public car parks for 1,600 vehicles, a two-level shopping street with 300,000 square feet of retail space, as well as apartments, offices, and a second hotel. Consideration for the historic character of the area as well as detailed market, economic, and transportation analyses were integral parts of the planning process. The project integrates the preservation and restoration of historic structures with the design of new buildings.
