Azrieli Nazareth Hills

Azrieli Nazareth Hills opened in the early 2010s in Nof HaGalil, the city formerly known as Nazareth Illit. The property offers approximately 25,000 square meters of GLA and serves the lower Galilee catchment that includes Nazareth, Afula, and the surrounding Jewish and Arab towns and villages. The mall is part of Azrieli Group’s northern Israeli portfolio alongside Azrieli Akko.

Nof HaGalil and Nazareth together form the largest urban catchment in the lower Galilee, with a combined population that exceeds 200,000 across both cities and their surrounding settlements. The trade area extends to Afula and the Jezreel Valley, reaching the kibbutzim and moshavim that anchor the agricultural economy of the lower Galilee. This regional reach has historically made Azrieli Nazareth Hills the principal enclosed retail destination for the area.

Tenant mix runs heavy on Israeli mid-tier fashion, beauty, electronics, sport, and home goods, alongside a multi-screen cinema and substantial food court. International fashion presence is lighter than at Azrieli’s Tel Aviv or Jerusalem flagships, consistent with the broader pattern across northern Israeli regional malls. The property accommodates the dual catchment of Hebrew-speaking and Arabic-speaking shoppers with mixed-language signage and operating hours adjusted around both cultural calendars.

The 2019 renaming of Nazareth Illit to Nof HaGalil reshaped the local administrative context, but the mall has continued to operate under the Azrieli Nazareth Hills brand to maintain consistent recognition with the property’s established trade area name. Direct access from Highway 75 and Highway 60 supports the regional catchment.

For brand expansion teams, Azrieli Nazareth Hills offers the obvious lower Galilee anchor location and the only meaningful enclosed mall in the catchment between Haifa Bay and the Jezreel Valley.
