Jerusalem Technology Park, High-tech office park in Malha, Jerusalem, Israel
Jerusalem Technology Park is an office complex with several buildings and a 17-story tower surrounded by green spaces and sculptures in southwest Jerusalem. The site provides roughly 60,000 square meters of office space with parking areas and the infrastructure needed to support technology companies.
The Jerusalem Development Authority and mayor Teddy Kollek initiated the park in the early 1990s; its company G.T.I. completed the master plan approval in 1993, when Isras Group bought 74% of the ownership and control rights. The project held approved-enterprise status under the Law for the Encouragement of Capital Investments and received a government grant. Occupancy began in 1996, four five-story buildings were finished by the end of 1997, and the 17-story tower went up from 1998. Construction of buildings 6 and 7 was frozen in July 2002 after the dot-com bubble burst; in November 2019 two 30-story towers were approved for that eastern section.
The park's name in Hebrew, Hagan HaTechnologi Malha, ties it to the Malha neighbourhood where it stands. Since 2018 its office space has also housed embassies: Guatemala opened its embassy here on 16 May 2018 after moving from Tel Aviv, Honduras followed on 24 June 2021, and Papua New Guinea in September 2023. Paraguay also opened an embassy in the park in May 2018 but returned it to Tel Aviv that September.
The park sits beside Malha Mall, Teddy Stadium and the Jerusalem Malha railway station, so train and bus connections serve the area. Offices are rented to tenants rather than open to the public, and the sculpture garden between the buildings is the part a passer-by can walk through.
The site hosts offices of major international media networks alongside large technology companies in the same location. This creates a space where news coverage for different countries happens while research and software development take place at the same time.
