**מתחם**

The masterplan divides the district into three complexes: Mitcham Eshkol (south, named for Levi Eshkol Street), Mitcham Merkaz (central), and Mitcham Tzafon (north). "Mitcham Einstein" is the pocket near Einstein Street. In the south, Eshkol is also called Shchunat Eshkol, the Eshkol neighborhood. Projects, tenders, and light-rail stations are all described by complex.
