HQ Architects is leading an international design consortium for the program design of seven transportation centers, including metro and light railway, together with the urban development of the above and surrounding areas. The project, for NTA –Metropolitan Mass Transit System Ltd., the agency responsible for the design and construction of mass transit systems in the Tel Aviv metropolitan area, will shape the urban environment of Tel Aviv for the years to come.
One of these Hubs, the Savidor Transportation Hub, is planned to leverage its strategic location and available space for substantial development, integrating multiple layers of transportation. The Hub is strategically located at the edge of Israel’s primary business centers and near Tel Aviv’s key highway, Ayalon, offering a unique opportunity to develop an integrated urban Transportation Hub that combines different transportation routes, while bridging the two banks of the Ayalon River and linking the two business centers. The Savidor Hub development will transform the area into a vibrant, mixed-use urban destination. Featuring the Metro M1 Line, two light-rail lines, the national railway, and a 17,500 square meters bus station, the Hub will greatly enhance connectivity and accessibility. This transformation will create a dynamic space that supports business activities and public amenities, fostering economic growth and urban vitality.
