The new high-rise building, called the Freedom Pyramid, designed by Studio Libeskind in collaboration with local architect Yigal Levi will rise 105-meters in the heart of the city, adjacent to Mahane Yehuda market.
“The Pyramid mediates between ancient traditions and myths, while providing a 21st century reinterpretation of that great form,” said Daniel Libeskind. “The design complements the context and gives the neighborhood a vibrant public space in the heart of the ancient city.”
The new project is reported to be spread across 35,000-square-meter and will include 180-200 luxury apartments, a boutique hotel, rooftop restaurant, retail stores, and an outdoor public plaza once complete in 2019.
