Israel’s Tallest Tower Planned: 111 Floors In Ramat Gan “Vertical City”

Ramat Gan is officially reaching for the stars. The Tel Aviv District Committee is currently reviewing a massive urban expansion project known as "Vertical City," which is set to feature a record-breaking 111-floor skyscraper.

Once completed, this tower will not only be the tallest in Israel but will redefine the entire Diamond Exchange (Bursa) district as a premier hub for living, working, and learning.

A City Within a Building

The project, designed by the architectural firm Bareli Levitsky Kasif La Fontaine, is envisioned as a self-contained urban ecosystem. Rather than just a single office block, the 11-dunam site will host three interconnected towers:

The Crown Jewel: A 111-floor office and mixed-use tower reaching roughly 470 meters, 1,541.99 Feet, in height.

Residential Tower: A 72-floor high-rise featuring 400 long-term rental apartments and 350 student dormitory units.Office Tower: A secondary 60-floor tower dedicated to commercial space.

Key Features and Innovation

The "Vertical City" isn't just about height; it’s about modern urban solutions.

The "Green Waterfall": A defining architectural feature is a vertical park system that flows from the ground level up through the towers, creating ecological and social links between floors.

Shenkar College Relocation: In a major move for the local academic scene, Shenkar College is planned to occupy four floors of a low-rise building connecting the lobbies of the three towers.

Public Infrastructure: The project includes a six-level underground public parking lot with 900 spaces, owned by the Ramat Gan Municipality, and a new school and kindergarten complex.

Changing the Face of Ramat Gan

For decades, the Diamond Exchange district has been dominated by offices and commercial trade. The Ramat Gan Municipality sees "Vertical City" as the catalyst for rejuvenation. By focusing the 72-floor residential tower entirely on rentals for young families and students, the city aims to bring "around-the-clock" life to an area that traditionally empties out after business hours.

While it won't quite touch the heights of Dubai's Burj Khalifa, this 111-floor giant firmly places Israel in the "ultra-high-rise" league, signaling a new era of dense, green, and vertical urban planning.
