Azrieli Center
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Azrieli Center is a complex of three skyscrapers in Tel Aviv, Israel. It consists of three towers and also contains a large shopping mall in their base, as well as other public spaces under development. The nearby major railway station is called HaShalom, and the Azrieli Center location is often referred to by the same name.
The Azrieli Center Circular Tower, the highest of the three, measures 187 m (614 ft) in height. As such, it is the highest building in Tel Aviv, and the second highest in Israel. Construction began in 1996 and was completed in 1999 with 49 floors. The top of the tower contains an indoor observation deck and a high end restaurant.
The Azrieli Center Triangular Tower has a height of 169 m (554 ft), construction began in 1996 and was completed in 1999 with 46 floors.
The Azrieli Center Square Tower is currently (2006) under construction. When complete it will have 42 floors and reach to a height of 154 m, making it the lowest of the three towers in the Azrieli complex.
Construction of the third tower was stopped in 1998 due to urban planning disagreements and was resumed in 2006. The estimated completion date is 2008.
