W Tower, Residential high-rise in Tel Aviv, Israel
W Tower is a residential high-rise in Tel Aviv, standing 156 m tall with 46 floors. The building has cantilevered balconies that run along the north and south sides in continuous horizontal bands.
Construction began in 2007, the concrete frame topped out in December 2008, and the tower was completed in 2010 at 156.4 metres, making it Israel's tallest residential-only building until 2013. It was developed by a buyers' group organised by Israel Canada, designed by Yashar Architects and built by A. Dori for 245 million shekels. Israel Canada later added W-Prime and W-Boutique on the same compound.
The tower's name comes from its address in the W compound of Park Tzameret, where developer Israel Canada later added W-Prime and W-Boutique beside it. In 2014 the TV series "Very Important Person" starring Yehuda Levi was partly filmed in an apartment on the 34th floor, so the building appeared on Israeli screens as a fictional residence.
The tower is best seen from the surrounding streets, where its shape comes through clearly from different angles. Moving a few blocks away gives a better sense of the whole building against the skyline.
The tower's 34th-floor apartment served as a filming location for the HOT television series "An Important Man" (Ish Chashuv Me'od), starring Yehuda Levi, broadcast in 2014. The building was developed by a purchasing group organised by Israel Canada and designed by Yashar Architects, with construction carried out by A. Dori at a cost of 245 million shekels.
