Services in Sde Dov
Barber, salon, laundry and gym: the everyday businesses, and the use class that lets them open.
Updated
No service business exists in Sde Dov today. The district's first residents arrive around 2029, and the barber, salon, laundry and gym that serve them will take colonnade units under the residential blocks. There is no dedicated services lot in the plan.
What matters for these businesses is the use class. The plan separates commerce (מסחר: retail, F&B and personal services) from employment (תעסוקה: offices). A colonnade unit is commerce and permits a salon; a 300-series floor is employment unless its design plan says otherwise. Ask which class a unit sits in before asking the rent.
What the plan fixes
- Personal services sit in the commerce use class, alongside retail and F&B.Shavnu masterplan page, 2026-08
- Eshkol: about 45,000 sqm of commerce and offices, on lots 301–306 and in the colonnades of residential lots 101–111.Shavnu masterplan page, 2026-08
- First occupancy in Eshkol is expected around 2029; district build-out around 2035.Shavnu district timeline, 2026-08

Common questions
- What everyday services are planned for Sde Dov?
- The plan reserves ground-floor commercial space and public-building plots rather than naming trades, so the honest answer is that the space is allocated and the occupants are not yet decided. Banks, pharmacies, barbers, laundries and clinics are the uses such frontage normally takes, and this page lists the units by lot as they are permitted.
- Is there a pharmacy or a supermarket in Sde Dov?
- No. Nothing in Sde Dov is open yet. The district is under construction, first occupancy in Eshkol is expected around 2029, and build-out runs to around 2035. No operator of any kind has a published lease in the district.
- Where will Sde Dov's public buildings be?
- In the district's public-buildings reserve, which plan TA/4444 sets aside alongside about 500,000 sqm of public space. That reserve carries the school campus, the health uses and the municipal functions; the lots are fixed even where the building on them is not yet designed.
- Who do I approach about a service unit?
- The developer of the lot. Ground-floor commercial space in Sde Dov is held lot by lot rather than centrally, so there is no single leasing office for the district, and the counterparty differs between Israel Land Authority tender winners and the privately held Big Bloc lots.
- When does daily life actually start here?
- Around 2029, when the first Eshkol buildings are occupied. Services follow residents rather than leading them, so the first units to trade will be the colonnades under the buildings that fill first.
