What’s With Those Abandoned Buildings in Netanya?
Presented by Roby Simons
19:30 Sunday 11 October
There are several high-profile dead buildings in Netanya: on the north side of the Kikar, south of the Kikar right on the beach on Danker, and the old hotel north of Blue Bay. They have been around for a decade or more. What were they at their peak? How did they get to their current situation? Why hasn’t that site been redeveloped, and what can we expect in the future? Roby Simons will apply a real estate and urban planning perspective to analysing these sites.
