HaYovel Tower, Postmodern skyscraper in central Tel Aviv, Israel
The HaYovel Tower is a 158-metre, 42-floor office skyscraper at the corner of Kaplan Street and Begin Road, south of the Kirya and south-west of the Azrieli Center. Its two adjoining sections differ: a rounded tower clad in horizontal bands of dark blue glass, and a flat slab faced in beige panels with a dense grid of small dark windows. White Hebrew lettering reading "מגדל יובל" with the phone number 609-77-99 is mounted near the top of the glass facade.
The tower was completed in 2005 on former land of the Israeli military base HaKirya. This project marked a turning point in converting military areas into modern business complexes.
The name HaYovel ("Jubilee") refers to the tower's inauguration in 2005, and the white Hebrew lettering "מגדל יובל" with the phone number 609-77-99 is mounted near the top of the curved glass facade. Floors 24–26 house Tel Aviv district government offices, including the Israel Land Authority, the Tax Authority, the Interior Ministry, the Justice Ministry, the Housing Ministry and the Tabu land registry. The top 11 floors, reached by a separate external elevator, hold private offices such as the Mercantile Discount Bank headquarters and the Amitim pension funds.
The tower stands at the corner of Kaplan Street and Begin Road, near the Kaplan interchange, south of the IDF HaKirya base and southwest of the Azrieli Center. An external elevator on the west side serves the upper floors, and an underpass links the building to its underground parking. Floors 24–26 hold government offices, while the top floors are private offices reached by a separate elevator.
The roof of the tower includes a helipad, which is unusual for an urban office building in the city. This feature makes it a distinctive point in Tel Aviv's skyline.
