Moshe Aviv Tower, Skyscraper in Diamond Exchange District, Ramat Gan, Israel.
Moshe Aviv Tower is a 235-metre skyscraper at 7 Jabotinsky Street in Ramat Gan, with 68 floors above ground. Its dark blue glass facade is set in a grid of small square windows crossed by lighter horizontal bands, and the rectangular shaft curves into a rounded top. The lower section is wider and blockier, with a different window pattern.
The project began in 1995 when contractor Moshe Aviv bought a 4.5-dunam plot at Abba Hillel and Jabotinsky streets, later assembling about 9 dunams. The local planning committee approved a taller mixed-use tower in 1997, and skeleton construction started at the end of that year. Aviv died in October 2001 after a riding accident, and the tower was named after him; occupancy began in 2002 and the building was inaugurated in December 2003.
The tower's original name, City Gate (Sha'ar Ha'Ir), still appears in older references and on some signage, while the current name honours developer Moshe Aviv, who died in October 2001 after a riding accident, before the building opened. A synagogue on the third floor serves residents, office tenants and visitors, and the rooftop of the cylindrical section doubles as an emergency helipad.
The building features separate entrances for residential and business areas, making it easy to access offices and the prayer space without overlapping. Underground levels provide additional facilities and parking for both visitors and workers.
The tower participated in the City in Pink campaign, illuminating with pink lights on September 27, 2004 to raise awareness about breast cancer. This action showed how modern buildings in the city support social causes.
