Shalom Meir Tower, Office skyscraper in Tel Aviv, Israel.
Shalom Meir Tower is an office skyscraper with 34 floors and a height of about 127 meters, covered with a distinctive cream-colored tile facade. The building contains visitor areas on the ground floor and stands as a landmark in the city's skyline.
The building was completed in 1965 and replaced the former Herzliya Hebrew High School that previously stood on this site. Upon completion, it became the tallest structure in the Middle East and marked a moment of modern growth for the city.
The ground floor displays mosaics by Nahum Gutman and David Sharir that show different periods of Tel Aviv's growth and change. These artworks bring the city's story to life through visual storytelling.
The location is easily accessible by public transportation and sits in central Tel Aviv near other attractions. Visitor areas are mostly on the lower levels of the building, making access straightforward for those wanting to see the ground floor displays.
The cream-colored tile facade was specially manufactured in Italy and transported to the building, an impressive technical feat for the 1960s. This detail shows how international collaboration played a role in Tel Aviv's modern construction projects of that era.
