Despite continuous population growth, Hod Hasharon has always succeeded in preserving its pastoral character and the unique feeling of a “village within a city” that makes it so desirable. This distinctive quality may be one of the reasons the city’s population has grown by approximately 20% over the past decade—and the trend continues.

In 2024, the Hod Hasharon Municipality submitted its master plan for 2050, which envisions the city growing to approximately 150,000 residents. *Shvil HaTapuzim* is a central component of this vision, featuring approximately *2,230 new residential units, alongside around **10,000 sq m of employment and commercial space*, as well as extensive educational, cultural, and municipal service infrastructure.

Shvil HaTapuzim is the only neighborhood in the plan being developed in the heart of the city, adjacent to its established and highly regarded neighborhoods—unlike the other neighborhoods planned on the city’s outskirts. This allows it to integrate immediately into the existing urban fabric and benefit from the full range of services Hod Hasharon has to offer. The combination of a limited number of residential units and an exceptional location is expected to make it one of the city’s most sought-after neighborhoods.

Trigo Real Estate manages an investment in land designated for development within the neighborhood. The land has been identified by the Hod Hasharon Municipality as one of its preferred future development reserves, and the company is currently advancing its planning process.

One of the key advantages of *Shvil HaTapuzim* is its central location in the heart of Hod Hasharon. Upon completion, residents will benefit from a well-developed transportation infrastructure providing immediate access to the city’s main destinations and services.

The neighborhood is planned adjacent to major transportation routes—including Highways 4, 5, 6, and 531—offering convenient and efficient connectivity throughout Israel. However, its most significant advantage is the planned *Ta’as East Station* of the future *M1 Metro Line*, which will be located at the edge of the neighborhood and provide convenient and safe access to destinations throughout the Dan metropolitan area, the Sharon region, Tel Aviv, and the Shephelah, through the NTA metro and light rail network.

This connectivity is expected to serve as a significant value driver for properties in the neighborhood. Historically, proximity to urban rail networks has contributed to an additional return of approximately *10%–20% above average market prices* following the commencement of service—as demonstrated by the light rail systems in Jerusalem and Tel Aviv. In Israel, the added value effect has been even more pronounced.
