Completed in 1993, the 23-story Opera Tower is one of Tel Aviv's iconic structures, standing at the intersection of Allenby, Herbert Samuel, and HaYarkon Streets.
The building, which includes residential apartments, a shopping mall, a cinema, a fitness center, a restaurant, and a private swimming pool for residents at its base, has a rich history. It occupies the site of the former Tel Aviv Opera House, which was a cultural landmark in the city.
The old opera house, renowned for its performances and architectural charm, was a hub of artistic activity until it was demolished. The design of the Opera Tower pays homage to this heritage, with the base of the tower replicating the exterior shape of the original opera house, preserving a piece of Tel Aviv's cultural history within its modern structure.[1]
