Originally it was planned to be Tel Aviv's tallest tower, and one of the country's tallest towers upon completion, but the final plan lowered this to a 45-floor skyscraper. The building was completed in January 2011.[1]

Fifteen (initially five[2]) of the tower's floors, totaling 8000 m2[3] are rented by Google Israel. This includes one floor of 1500 m2 for a business incubator campus[4] launched in December 2012.[5]

Additional notable residents are Waze, PayPal, Klarna, Broadcom and Golan Telecom.
