Project Shira (Hebrew: פרויקט שירה) is a project and initiative focused on the construction of a new integrated building that will serve as the official residence of the Prime Minister of Israel, Benjamin Netanyahu, as well as the Prime Minister's Office. This project is intended to replace the previous Almog Project, which had been in planning for approximately 14 years.
The project is situated between the current buildings of the Prime Minister's Office and the Ministry of the Interior in Kiryat HaYovel, Jerusalem. The project's cost is estimated to be in the hundreds of millions of shekels, nearing a billion shekels. (equivalent to $150,000,000+) Initially, the project was assigned to the "Kimel Eshkolot" architectural office.[1]
According to officials from the Prime Minister's Office, if it is decided to approve the "Shira" project, it will take about six years until its completion.
The project is expected to be approved on 30th June 2024. The estimated cost of the project is expected to reach half a billion shekels.[2]
