Levinstein Tower, Office skyscraper in Tel Aviv, Israel
The Levinstein Tower is a 33-story office building that rises 125 meters above Tel Aviv with a contemporary glass facade. Each floor provides office space used by various companies.
Construction began in 1995 and was completed in 2000, designed by architect Oded Rapoport of Rapoport Architects and built by the Moshe Levinstein engineering and contracting company. The original plan was a 40-story mixed-use tower with 30 office floors and 10 residential floors above them, which would have made it Israel's tallest building. A study found no demand for luxury apartments at this location, so the residential floors were dropped. Phase A, with 19 office floors, was finished in 1998; Phase B added 14 more office floors in 2000.
The tower's name honours the Levinstein company, which built it, and its ground floor housed the bar "Tel Aviv 09" from November 2010, entered through the main lobby. The dominant tenant since opening has been Bank Hapoalim, alongside dozens of freelance and high-tech firms. A planted square at the western entrance off Tiyumkin Street, built by the developers as a condition for a zoning change, serves both tenants and neighbours.
The tower stands at 23 Menachem Begin Road, with a second entrance from Tiyumkin Street on the west side, where a landscaped square with garden corners serves both building tenants and neighbourhood residents. Six underground levels hold a 650-space car park, and the Karlibach station of the Red and Green light rail lines opened next to the tower in 2023.
The tower was first planned as Israel's tallest mixed-use building, with 30 office floors topped by 10 residential floors, 40 in all. A study found no demand for luxury flats at this location, so the housing was dropped and only the office tower was built.
