Architect Daniela Posek, who heads the planning and building commission, said in a statement that the plan emphasizes public spaces, and will include the structuring of a system of pedestrian bridges connecting Tel Aviv with its neighboring municipalities Ramat Gan and Givatayim.

The plan, which was commissioned by the city of Tel Aviv, was designed by architects Amnon Schwartz and Guy Miloslavsky of Miloslavsky Architects.

The city of Tel Aviv did not state the budget allocated to building the new tower, nor did it say when construction is due to begin on the new building.
