Who is building Sde Dov

The architects, planners, officials and executives named in published sources in connection with this district. Nobody appears here in a private capacity, and nobody appears on one source alone.

A person is listed only when at least two independent publishers name them, by name, in a public professional role tied to Sde Dov. That excludes the roughly 1,892 private landowners in the land-division case, every buyer, and every resident. It also excludes people whose only sourcing traces back to a developer's own marketing, which is advertising rather than reporting.

Architects and planners

Yair Avigdorיאיר אביגדור
Architect and managing partner, Mena'd Architects

Leads the detailed planning of the district's neighbourhood plans, including the Eshkol complex and the North district, taking over from the original master-plan architects.

Named in the project-management credit for the district plans, distinct from the architects. Six publishers carry the same credit line: planning and project management by Mena'd Architects, led by architect Avigdor and architect Kinnori, with project management by Meirav Levy and Hila Presser.
