    Background

    The Azrieli Spiral Tower, adjacent to Tel Aviv’s three Azrieli Center skyscrapers, is expected to become Israel’s tallest building at a height of 350 m, with 91 floors in total and 83 floors above ground level. The tower is planned to include commercial stores in its lower levels, with office and residential floors above, and then a 250-room hotel in the upper section. Electra Building won this groundbreaking project following its exemplary work on previous developments such as the Azrieli Rishonim Mall, the 61-floor Azrieli Sarona Tower, and the mixed-use Azrieli Town.

    Our Activities

    As an especially large and prestigious project, the success of the Azrieli Spiral project is dependent on the unique synergy that exists among Electra Building’s companies. The close cooperation, communication, and understanding between the subsidiaries ensures that challenges can be overcome or eliminated during the planning process, leading to shorter timescales and more efficient on-site performance.

    Electra M&E is responsible for the installation of all electromechanical systems throughout the building envelope and upgrading the central air conditioning system for the entire campus. This includes HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and fire protection systems. Many special considerations are required when working on an especially tall building like the Azrieli Spiral, including ensuring maximum fire safety at all levels, resistance to high hydrostatic pressures, and the use of energy-saving systems to reduce both costs and environmental impact.

    Electra Elevators leveraged its close cooperation with Otis Worldwide to win this immense project in the face of intense international competition. The Azrieli Spiral Tower will include 16 escalators and 47 elevators, with unique designs to reflect the building’s “spiral” concept, such as glass walls and ceilings. The elevators, which will reach a speed of 8 m/s (close to 30 km/h), will include innovative double-deck elevators, enabling faster passenger transportation and more efficient use of each shaft. Naturally, these systems have been designed to take into account the impact of wind and other forces on such a tall building. The company is complementing these activities with the use of additional innovations, such as the OEO (Occupant Evacuation Operation) command system, enabling people to evacuate from the relevant floor(s) in an emergency. This smart system detects the emergency and directs designated elevators solely to those floors, facilitating rapid exits from a dangerous situation and providing instructions via dedicated screens.

    Electra Parking Solutions will provide the tower with a first-of-its-kind solution in Israel for using and storing micromobility vehicles, like bicycles and scooters. This will include dedicated facilities to enable optimal utilization of each storage area.
