And some new rendering

Can one of moderators put these renders on the first page since the render on the first page has disappeared.

And also, is the white thing on the left and right side going to be lit like Atrium Tower? If so then that would be amazing!!!

we dont know that this is the final design
it could change

 

[afiktori]

On the way to work, i saw about ten concrete turning trucks lined up outside the lot. We could see some significant progress up until the end of the week.

Are you sure they were related to the tower?
There is also the Yehudit station entrance construction site, right next to the tower.

 

[afiktori]

Dont know exactly

 

[matrix2020]

OK, so I was in the area and made an effort to go on top of the Kalka bridge to take a look.
There isn't much change on the bottom, but they are busy working on the floor within the part being built on top of the columns.
So whatever you saw earlier, probably wasn't related to Sarona after all and was indeed something related to Sderoth Yehudit entrance construction.

it seems that they are trying to add floors to the project. M-Y-S has posted new images of the project. Some of them are of the original height but one is with 63 floors so perhaps this is why it is stalled....
The renders with the original floor count:

The render with the possible new height:

Why would that stall development? Its just costing them more money by stalling development whilst they know that they need to build at least 45 floors. And honestly, a 60 floor hotel building would be too much for Tel Aviv in my opinion. This isnt NYC.

 

[afiktori]

Unless of course some of the floors will be sold as residentials.

I don't think it is absolutely necessary to preserve these little old buildings. What is their significance to our history? They were part of a German colony and maybe some where used by the Ben Gurion government or something like that. No need to keep them all at all cost in my opinion.

 

[matrix2020]

They actually are creating a very nice part of the city with all the stores and restaraunts.
I think they add alot to the urban experience in the area.

 

[drdov]

Personally I think it’s gonna remain a large pit like azorim elite

 

[matrix2020]

I don't think so.
They are very busy working there at the moment.

 

[M-120]

63 floors would be amazing, more taller more better

 

[avivster]

13 floors more is about a 45 meter difference.
so if it was planned to 160-170 it will be above 200m

@soupofalmonds, you input would be much appreciated

I think they are ready to install the second crane.
Also note the interesting looking storage tanks installed in the pit.
Bentonite?

Jet grouting work is approaching completion. So is the last section of the inner podium. They also replaced the fence banners facing Begin Rd with NITSBA logo and a render of the future hotel.

 

[matrix2020]

Excuse me for my ignorance, but there is something I dont get.
Are they ever going to lay a foundation on the remaining vacant area for the tower, or is it actually going to be supported by this podium that was built?

 

[soupalmonds]

Hard to tell whether and when the work on the foundation will begin. At least we have few indications such as repositioning the silos/tanks on the podium at street level and replacing the banners facing the Begin Rd with renders...
