Atidim Tower, Office building in Ramat HaHayal, Tel Aviv, Israel
Atidim Tower, also called Vision Tower, is a 35-floor, 143-metre office tower in the Atidim Park business area of Tel Aviv, completed in February 2013. Its design combines two volumes, a square and a cross, to maximise window frontage: the square carries horizontal window bands and granite cladding, while the cross rises in vertical strips to the top and conceals technical systems behind four triangles. It holds 110,000 sq m of floor space, 17 lifts and a bicycle parking area with showers.
Approval to build the tower came in 2001, but construction was frozen after the high-tech bubble burst and resumed at the end of 2006. In June 2007 the contractor A. Aronson won a closed tender, and the tower was inaugurated in February 2013. In 2013 the insurer Clal leased 22 floors for 24 years for over 725 million shekels.
The building symbolizes Tel Aviv's rise as a global technology center, where Israeli and international companies operate their offices. The tower shapes the appearance of a modern business district that attracts thousands of workers daily.
The tower stands in Atidim Park in the Ramat HaHayal area of Tel Aviv and is owned by the Tel Aviv municipality and Tel Aviv University. Its 17 elevators can split each floor into four separate quarters, and companies renting several floors have a dedicated entrance. A car park and a parking and shower facility for cyclists serve the building.
The tower's elevator system can divide each floor into four separate quarters, and a dedicated entrance was designed for companies renting several floors. Its tenants have included Citigroup, Informatica, F5 Networks Israel, the Natural Gas Transmission Company and Medinol. Two more towers, of 25 and 17 floors, are planned beside it.
