Living in a green setting in the heart of the city
In the heart of Jerusalem, on the historic nursery grounds of the Zionist Youth Farm, Sela Binui and Issta Real Estate are developing Mitcham HaMishtala — an exclusive residential complex at the heart of the peaceful, high-quality community of Old Katamon, one of the city’s most established and sought-after neighborhoods.
Mitcham HaMishtala was designed as an innovative and advanced residential complex by renowned architect Ilan Pivko, who created a stylish, vibrant, and complete living environment that offers a fresh interpretation of the surrounding area.
The project is executed by initiative of:
Welcome to your new home
Spanning approximately 23 dunams, Mitcham HaMishtala will feature some 362 new residences across six striking buildings rising 10–12 stories, above an advanced and secure underground parking facility. The complex’s attractive location, innovative spatial concept, green construction, and the high standards of Sela Binui, Issta Real Estate, and architect Ilan Pivko make Mitcham HaMishtala a distinguished meeting point of quality, style, and prestige — one that blends naturally into its surroundings while enriching them.
This innovative and elegant complex offers an exclusive and inspiring living experience in the very heart of Jerusalem. Each building will feature a spacious, refined lobby, high-speed elevators, and thoughtfully designed common areas on every floor. In addition, the complex is planned to include commercial spaces, public buildings, and an open public area with rich and impressive landscape development. A green neighborhood on the outside, and magical from within.
The Apartments
A distinctive building with two height levels, a double-height lobby, and a residents’ lounge, offering quality and style from the entrance door to the scenic balcony. The eastern section of the building includes 6 residential floors above a commercial level facing Ben Zakkai Street, while the western section rises to 11 residential floors.
The building features exterior stone cladding combined with aluminum and a prestigious finish. The entrance lobby is flooded with natural light, creating a seamless transition between indoors and outdoors, with a contemporary interpretation of natural materials such as stone, wood, and lush greenery.
Choose from a selection of exceptionally spacious 4- and 5-room apartments, stylish mini-penthouses, and impressive 5-room penthouses.
The Location
Mitcham HaMishtala is being built on the historic nursery grounds of the Zionist Youth Farm. As part of the landscape development and the effort to preserve the original nursery areas, the values of community, and a love of the land, a dedicated space has been allocated for a community garden. Shared garden beds where you can plant and grow everything you love — together.
Thanks to Education
Residents of the neighborhood enjoy uncompromising access to quality education, culture, community life, sports, and a rich environment. The neighborhood is home to some of Jerusalem’s leading educational institutions, including the American School, serving children of diplomats, foreign journalists, and international residents from 40 countries around the world, including Israel.
Near Mitcham HaMishtala is the Zionist Youth Farm — a youth village that once served as one of the absorption centers for Youth Aliyah and is today considered one of the city’s leading schools. For younger children, the Luria School of Music and Dance, one of Jerusalem’s longstanding elementary schools, offers a wide range of arts programs in an innovative learning environment.
Inspired by the Spirit
The streets of Katamon are home to several synagogues, some of them historic, welcoming a diverse community of worshippers that reflects the neighborhood’s spirit of unity, its rich social fabric, and its pluralistic character.
The most renowned among them is the “Shtiblach”, a historic synagogue founded in 1948 by Rabbi Yisrael Ze’ev Mintzberg, one of the neighborhood’s first settlers. The Shtiblach is active throughout the day and enables several prayer services to take place simultaneously, serving the many worshippers who visit it.
OPEN Neighborhood Commercial Centers
The new OPEN center, set to be established within the project, brings a fresh offering of Jerusalem leisure culture and community-oriented entertainment to the neighborhood. The center reflects the unique spirit of Mitcham HaMishtala, with a design approach that carefully balances Katamon’s relaxed character with elegance and sophistication.
Located just a short distance from the city’s main leisure and entertainment hubs, the center is expected to become an important and popular destination for Katamon residents, neighboring communities, visitors, and tourists alike.
