The Elite Tower is a site in

tallest building in Israel, taking the title from its neighbour, City Gate Tower

History

Elite junction showing construction site

Originally, the Elite Tower site was purchased for $44 million by American real estate tycoon

NIS 306.5 million (around $80 million).[3][4]

Advanced planning for the site was frozen by Azorim as a result of the

financial crisis of 2007–2008, but resumed in late 2009.[3]

On 3 April 2014, it was announced that the tower would have a height of 265 m (869 ft) with a total of 65 stories, and would be accompanied by a 25-story office tower on the same site. The all-residential tower would contain 338 residential units. On the 65th floor, the architect confirmed there would be a viewing room as well as a cafe. Construction was expected to begin sometime in 2014 and be completed by 2017.[5]

In early March 2015, purchasers of units in the tower announced that "construction of the tower was canceled, due to a delay in obtaining a permit."[1]
