The Tel Aviv Planning and Building Committee will discuss this week plans to convert two buildings with a preservation order on Allenby Street into a 100-room boutique hotel. The historic buildings, known as Segalov House at 81 Allenby Street were built in the early 1920s and designed by architect Yehuda Magidovitch who was Tel Aviv's first city engineer. The developer is the 81 Allenby Preservation and Reservation Co., controlled by property developers Yaakov Kotler and Amos Weinberger. The duo are best known as owners of the Bauhaus real estate company, which specializes in upgrading buildings for preservation in Tel Aviv.
