Givatayim | Hi Tower | 220m | 57 fl | Completed

matrix2020 · Mar 17, 2016

Therefore it is my great pleasure to announce the tower as U/C and change the thread title accordingly

Yoav · Mar 17, 2016

Technically, it's not U/C but in site preparation (prep).
Also, The buildings that were demolished are not at the location of the tower but at the ring road, east to the tower.
Anyhow, thanks 19F for the images, and thank you matrix for uploading them.

Technically you are right, but since we never made that distinction before, I don't think we should start now.
So lets assume its u/c

A couple of questions to those who are familiar with the project:
1. How far is it from the Shachar tower (and other towers planned nearby)?
2. Just to be on the safe side, are we still on for 200 meters, 60 floors figure?

If so, this makes this tower 4th tower in Israel to reach 200 meters figure (after City Gate, Azrieli Sarona and Shachar tower).
With 3 towers out of those being at a walking distance from each other.

Midtown TLV will reach 200 m before this, and all of these towers are within walking distance. It might not be the most pleasant walk, but it's definitely not far.

matrix2020 · Mar 18, 2016

Ah yeah, forgot about Midtown.
Well, its not a pleasant walk for now.
Hopefully in the future with all the towers built up, red line completed etc, and some parks thrown in the mix, it could become a nice place.

The TLV 2000 plan (actually projected to be built around 2030) by Mansfeld-Kehat architects talks in depth about the pleasantness of walking that stretch of road. However, since it's such a long-term plan, I'm not sure anyone will implement it.

Thanks! They can do much better than this design tho. :/

Yup, my first association was US Air Force B2 bomber..

FelixMadero · Mar 22, 2016

we need more glass my dear!!!!

19F · Mar 22, 2016

The consideration was to lower the maintenance costs, glass is less isolating hence more a\c cost, plus more outer cleaning cost per year.

19F · Mar 22, 2016

But I agree glass is much more "high tech" and nicer for the eye

matrix2020 · Mar 22, 2016

Residential towers rarely use glass for covering.
It is more of the office towers' thing.

I didn't find an English version of this article, only in Hebrew.

matrix2020 · Mar 22, 2016

Just a quick summary from the article.
The tower will be 55 floors and will include 279 aprtments and a small commercial center.
The announced height is 220 meters (I assume from the sea level) so the 200 meter figure is still valid.

Yoav · Mar 22, 2016

19F, is there a way you could upload an architectural plan of the tower?

DEJAH · Mar 22, 2016

Gorgeous tower:cheers:

matrix2020 · Mar 22, 2016

Well, as they say, beauty is in the eye of the beholder

Personally, I find the tower pretty boring looking, but I understand the developer's desire to lower costs and build something relatively cheaply and provide a somewhat low price for the apartments.
The good thing about this tower, is its height and location which will help greatly to the skyline.
In about 3-4 years once all the current projects are completed, there will be a pretty dense skyline starting at Electra and going up to Diamond Exchange towers.

They have brought in a crane and likely to commance with the foundation within two-three weeks. However, I highly doubt that the tower will be ready for occupation before the first half of 2020.
