    Background

    Kikar HaMedina (State Square) has long been a focal point for luxury retailers and high-end restaurants in an affluent area of Tel Aviv. This new development will redefine the iconic square with the addition of three residential towers and an impressive public boulevard. Electra Building was selected to conduct various aspects of this large-scale project, with Electra Construction serving as the general contractor in partnership with Ashtrom Engineering & Construction.
     

    Our Activities

    Electra Building’s companies faced a number of challenges related to the unique architectural design of the project, which includes various curved and sloping elements, as well as restricted access to the location. Here, the clear communication and comprehensive coordination among all Electra Building subsidiaries enabled maximum efficiency in terms of planning, transportation, and construction, ensuring that potential obstacles were avoided at every stage.

    Electra M&E has been tasked with performing all HVAC work for this project, which includes various complex systems adapted to special architectural requirements and other conditions, including Daikin VRF systems.

    Electra Elevators conducted advanced traffic flow analysis to determine the optimal elevator speeds for this project. As a result, the company will install 15 elevators with speeds of 4 and 6 m/s for the highest efficiency of movement throughout the project’s residential area. The lower part of the towers will be served by 7 panoramic elevators with unique architectural elements.

    Alimak will supply the project with unique freight elevators that will be installed within the standard shafts. These will be double-deck elevators, with 6 elevators serving the workforce during the construction period. The elevators have been specially designed to fit the shafts and operate such that they can serve two floors simultaneously.
