Beit Rubinstein, High-rise building in Tel Aviv, Israel.
Beit Rubinstein is a 108-metre office tower at the junction of Menachem Begin Road and Lincoln Street in Tel Aviv, designed by Aryeh Freiberger. Its plan takes the form of three nested arches, and the whole facade is clad in turquoise reflective glass, concave toward the north-east and convex toward the south-west. It holds 28 floors, about 28,000 sq m of offices and 2,000 sq m of shops, with a nine-storey parking garage beside it.
Construction began in 1997 as a joint venture between the Rubinstein Group and contractor Mario Leznik, at a cost of about $60 million, financed by Bank Hapoalim. Most floors were sold before completion, mainly to law firms, and occupancy started in early 2001. In 2007 the Rubinstein Group bought back the contractor's rights for 100 million shekels, and in 2021 it repurchased part of the offices and began renovating floors for high-tech tenants.
The tower is named after its developer, Rubinstein and Company, and was designed by Aryeh Freiberger's firm. At the entrance stands Ofra Zimbalist's sculpture "Choir in Sign Language". The ground floor holds shops and restaurants, and the building faces the former Ma'ariv House on Menachem Begin Road at Lincoln Street.
The building works mainly as an office complex, so access is generally limited to employees and business visitors. The parking structure within the complex makes it easy to arrive by car, though public transport stops are also nearby.
The entrance level sits one floor below street level, forming a sunken plaza built to connect with the Karlibach light-rail station opened beside the tower. The Meriv bridge, which once stood at the tower's foot, was demolished in August 2015 for that station. At the entrance stands Ofra Zimbalist's sculpture "Sign Language Choir".
