The Keren HaKirya building complex is a proposed set of buildings in Tel Aviv, Israel. It will comprise 80-story and 50-story office towers and two 45-story residential towers that will stand above a two-story retail mall. It will be situated at the intersection of Begin Road and Sha'ul HaMelekh Street in the city's Midtown business district on an area of 38 dunams (9.5 acres).
The project was initiated by the Israel Land Authority, together with Israel's Defense Ministry and the Tel Aviv Municipality, with the master planning and design developed by A.I. Architecture and Urban Design (Isaac Halfon and Alan Aranoff architects), with project coordination by Ehud Tayar Management and Engineering Ltd.
The design of the office towers, whose 350-meter height is unprecedented in Israel, consists of clusters of extruded triangles of different heights that create a singular prismatic effect on the skyline. A central focus of the project is the landscaped pedestrian plaza that will be flanked by retail and dining arcades, with a pedestrian bridge that links the two commercial buildings.
The project will be served by Tel Aviv's light rail system green line, with bus, bicycle and pedestrian access, as well as multiple underground parking and service levels.
When completed, the project will add some 770 housing units to Tel Aviv's increasingly limited housing stock.

Kirya Tower is a skyscraper in Tel Aviv, Israel. At 158 m, it is the sixth tallest building in Israel. Construction was completed in 2005 on land previously belonging to the IDF HaKirya base. The tower is located near the Tel Aviv's tallest skyscraper cluster, the Azrieli Center complex, and is occupied largely by government offices. The consolidation of many of these offices in the tower, which were previously spread out all over the Tel Aviv district, allowed the release of a considerable amount of high-value government land to private development, as well as introducing efficiencies from housing many government functions under one roof. The tower has a helipad on its roof. It was originally planned to have 28 floors for government functions only, with the additional 14 floors being approved during construction. 13 of these top floors were approved for use by private sector offices, and the top 11 floors have floor-to ceiling windows. An external elevator serves the uppermost floors, and an underpass connects the building with the tower's underground parking. The rent being paid by the government is $16/square metre per month for the next 20 years.
The Marganit Tower is a skyscraper located in HaKirya, Tel Aviv, Israel. Completed in 1987, the building is 138 metres (453 ft) in height, although most of this is due to its "finger", a concrete mast with antennas and other transmission equipment. As such, it only has 17 floors. Now Israel's twelfth-tallest building, upon completion it was the country's second-tallest building. It was designed by ASSA Architects.
