Shalom Meir Tower
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Shalom Meir Tower (Hebrew: מגדל שלום מאיר, Migdal Shalom Meir; commonly shortened to מגדל שלום, Migdal Shalom) is an office tower in Tel-Aviv which contains a small commercial center. Shalom Meir tower was the first magnificent and tall tower to be built in Israel and when its construction was completed, it rivaled the tallest buildings in Europe in height, and was the tallest in the Middle East.
It has 34 floors and stands at a height of 142 m (466 ft), it was completed in 1965.
In 1962, the Herzliya Hebrew High School was razed and relocated in order to build the tower - a widely regretted decision despite the many benefits that the tower brought over the years.
Shalom Meir contains Tel Aviv's only subway station.
