Convenience and luxury converge in Jerusalem’s capital residence

Few gateways to major cities in the world can compare with the main entrance to Jerusalem, crowned by the awe-inspiring Strings Bridge. Conceived and designed by legendary Spanish architect Santiago Calatrava, the eye-catching Strings Bridge, shaped like King David’s lyre, has become a modern landmark, welcoming residents and visitors alike to the Holy City.

The famous bridge is also the centerpiece of Jerusalem’s new Entrance District, comprising multi-functional business and office buildings clustered along the key thoroughfares and transportation terminals that serve the city: the Yitzhak Navon Train Station for high-speed rail, the Central Bus Station for urban and interurban buses, and the sleek municipal light rail system that whisks passengers to all parts of the central city and suburbia.

And now finally comes the ultimate residential link that puts all the pieces together: The Capital Residence, a landmark residential tower offering some of the finest apartments in the city. The resplendent 35-story residential tower is the nucleus of a complex that will redefine living in Israel’s thriving capital, complete with an impeccably landscaped European-style piazza, populated with upscale shops, cafes and restaurants and connecting to a twin office tower.

This partnership brings together four of Jerusalem and Israel’s most experienced real estate companies. Ashtrom Real Estate contributes more than 60 years of national and international development expertise. AKA Real Estate brings decades of Jerusalem-focused experience and a strong commitment to quality, thoughtful planning, and residents’ needs. The Blilious Group, established in 1964, adds more than five decades of expertise in residential, commercial, and urban development. David Drori Ltd., founded in 1966, contributes a distinguished legacy in shaping modern Jerusalem. Together, the four partners combine deep local knowledge, proven development capabilities, financial strength, and an unwavering commitment to quality.

Coming home to customized, intelligent and safe apartments

Minutes away from the light rail, shopping centers & highways,  The Capital Residence offers an inviting lobby that radiates elegance, with lofty ceilings and immense windows that usher in plenty of natural light. No fewer than five elevators stand ready to speed residents and guests to their desired floor, with minimal wait time. Two of the conveyances will operate as Shabbat elevators on Friday nights and Saturdays.

Apartments are available in 12 different sizes and individualized layouts, ranging from two rooms (one-bedroom) to six rooms, plus penthouses. And they have attracted strong demand from local and international buyers, with occupancy scheduled for the summer of 2029.

Nevertheless, fortunately, apartments are still available, including penthouses, and apartments of all sizes, offering unobstructed views of the metropolitan area and the verdant hills of the Jerusalem corridor. These vistas are enhanced by the fact that every apartment boasts its own balcony.

The reasons the apartments are in such high demand go well beyond the world-class architecture and design. Comfort and aesthetics are assured by the high ceilings and floor-to-ceiling, double-paned windows, combined with the latest hi-tech innovations, from VRF air conditioning to under-floor heating and smart electrical systems.

Pool and gym fitness complex and Tenants’ Club

Nor do the amenities stop inside the individual apartments. The building boasts a heated semi-Olympic-sized swimming pool, for all-year-round enjoyment. Between laps or refreshing dips in the water, swimmers rest on plush seating surrounding the capacious pool.

Overlooking the pool is a fully equipped fitness room, boasting state-of-the-art machinery and devices for cardio and weight training. A professional management company will supervise the complex, to maintain its accessibility and cleanliness.

The indoor perks and facilities at The Capital Jerusalem also include a handsome Tenants’ Club, reminiscent of executive VIP lounges found in many five-star hotels. This impressive venue might easily become an extension of your private residence – a place to entertain guests or mingle in close proximity to your home, without the intrusion of others into your intimate space.

Outdoor public areas: Rooftop and piazza

The al fresco version of the Tenants’ Club is the edifice’s rooftop, with open and sheltered areas for sitting and relaxing amid impeccably tended shrubbery. Here, day or night, you enjoy a 360° panoramic vista brimming with reminders of why you chose to make Jerusalem your home: while basking under a warming sun shining in an azure sky, one admires the rolling hills of Judea, as well as the indelible eternal outlines of the distinctive houses of worship in the Old City; at twilight, you marvel at the splendor of the light illuminating the vast expanses of Jerusalem stone walls and facades, evoking the refrain of the anthem “Jerusalem of Gold;” and at night, you gaze down at the carpet of lights sparkling like diamonds scattered among the city’s homes – not to mention the multi-hued laser light show that transforms the Strings Bridge after dark. During the holiday of Sukkot, there will be space for everyone to dine in the Sukkah while overlooking Jerusalem’s stunning views.

The Capital Residence roof terrace and its stunning backdrops can also serve as the perfect setting for parties and celebrations.

The meticulously landscaped Capital Piazza, meanwhile, will be the beating social, cultural, and commercial heart of the project. Tasteful boutiques, handy stores, and carefully curated cafés and restaurants – serving a range of gourmet meals and more casual fare – will all be at your doorstep, in lush green surroundings.

Last but not least, do not underestimate the importance of the accessibility of the complex’s well-maintained private underground parking garage, where one may maneuver with ease into spacious parking spaces and walk from vehicle to elevator quickly, securely, and shielded from inclement weather.

Finally, it is worth reiterating the familiar mantra “location, location, location” in the context of this prestigious project. The visionary Capital Residence truly covers all the bases: comprehensive luxury living in easy walking distance not only to seamless public transportation, but also to the core of the cosmopolitan metropolis that is 21st century Jerusalem, encompassing its colorful outdoor market, its historic downtown and – ultimately – the unique, soulful atmosphere of the eternal capital of the Jewish people.
