28 Vitkin, Tel Aviv

28 Vitkin. Old North.

On the quiet residential grid between Ben Yehuda and the sea. Twelve residences, a new-build replacement of a 1950s structure, held for owner-occupation.

The building

Seven storeys. Twelve residences. Architect HaHeder. A TAMA 38/2 scheme — the existing building to be taken down, a new seven-storey residential building erected in its place to full current specification.

Pending demolition. Construction commences at the conclusion of the standard TAMA cycle; handover likely 2027-2028.

Twelve residences is the defining feature before any discussion of the street. This is boutique scale in the strictest sense — smaller even than 30 Shalom Aleichem (11 residences), and at the same register as the smallest Tel Aviv residential buildings that continue to read as proper buildings rather than subdivided houses. The residents will know each other without trying. The va’ad bayit meets in somebody’s living room. The building operates as a small address rather than as a scheme.

The street

Vitkin is one of the short residential streets in the Old North grid, running between Dizengoff and the sea in the stretch above Arlozorov. It is not a main street. It carries little through-traffic, has the pastoral quiet the original Ben Shalom copy describes with reasonable accuracy, and sits within the walking geometry that makes this particular piece of the Old North one of the most consistently desirable residential registers in the city.

The particular gift of Vitkin — and the reason number 28 has the position it does — is its relationship to the sea. Metzitzim Beach is four minutes on foot. The Tel Aviv Port begins at the same distance. The Yarkon Park opens eight minutes north. Frishman and Gordon beaches — the more established Anglo-buyer-favoured stretches — are twelve minutes south along the promenade.

This combination is uncommon: a residential street quiet enough to genuinely read as pastoral, paired with walking-scale access to both the sea and the city’s cultural centre. Ben Yehuda Street — with the small neighbourhood cafés, restaurants, and daily-life commerce of the Old North — is three minutes on foot. Dizengoff is six minutes.

The Metzitzim and port register

One specific register distinguishes this part of the Old North from other Tel Aviv beachfront addresses. Metzitzim Beach and the adjacent port promenade are the parts of the coastline most reliably occupied by Tel Aviv residents rather than by tourists. The beach volleyball culture, the early-morning swimmers, the port’s Friday-market and small-retail rhythm, the runners on the promenade at dusk — these constitute a specific daily texture that the Frishman-and-Gordon sections of the coastline further south do not quite share.

For a resident whose daily life wants the sea at a resident’s pace rather than a visitor’s, the Metzitzim stretch is the specific answer. 28 Vitkin sits four minutes from it.

The buyer

28 Vitkin is directed at a specific profile within the Altitude Privé core register:

Returning Israelis whose Tel Aviv reference is the Old North, and who are consolidating to a small primary residence near the sea. Anglo and French buyers whose urban reference is a small building near the water — a London mews near Little Venice, a Paris 7th immeuble near the Seine, or a small residence on a quiet cross-street in central Barcelona. Senior buyers looking for walking-distance access to both water and culture.

The twelve-residences scale is the feature that most narrows the profile. This is a building for the buyer who wants the beach-adjacent Old North register at properly boutique scale — smaller than the sixteen-residence Lev Ha’ir buildings, smaller than the twenty-two-residence Bavli family scheme at HaKnesset HaGdola, and genuinely at the scale where the building itself becomes part of the resident’s everyday social rather than administrative life. That is a specific preference, and the building is correctly sized for it.

The representation

The scheme is pending demolition and has not yet been released to the broader market. The developer has held an initial set of residences for qualified enquirers. For buyers who introduce themselves to the office in the current period, the full inventory — including the upper-floor residences with the most open aspect toward the sea and the port — remains under discussion rather than on the public portal.

On the quiet residential stretch above Arlozorov. Four minutes on foot to Metzitzim Beach, three minutes to Ben Yehuda, six to Dizengoff. Twelve residences only. The beach-adjacent Old North at its most boutique scale.

A note from the office. If you are considering 28 Vitkin — or if your register is the beach-adjacent Old North specifically, at boutique scale — a brief conversation is the simplest place to begin.
