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 features distinctive cantilevered balconies that extend from both north and south sides, creating continuous bands of outdoor space.
The tower was constructed between 2006 and 2010 during a period when Tel Aviv shifted toward vertical growth. This phase of development reshaped how the city's skyline looked and evolved.
The W-shaped facade gives the tower its name and makes it instantly recognizable in Tel Aviv's skyline. This distinctive form has become part of how locals see their city's contemporary identity.
The tower is best viewed from the surrounding streets where you can see its shape clearly from different angles. Walking around the base gives you a sense of how the cantilevered balconies project outward and create shadow patterns throughout the day.
The cantilevered balconies are angled to allow winter sunlight deep into living rooms while blocking summer heat from entering. This design exploits seasonal sun angles to regulate interior temperatures without relying on air conditioning.
