"The history of architecture is the history of the window"
Le Corbusier, one of the most influential architects in human history
Tel Aviv VS Ramat Gan
The first to rise to the "show of hands" is the mayor of Ramat Gan Carmel Shama HaCohen and in front of him the mayor of Tel Aviv, Ron Huldai.
In the first round that began in the mid-1960s, who won if not Tel Aviv, with the 'Kalvo Shalom' tower that was built at the time and rose to a height of 32 stories (the tallest in the Middle East).
The tower held this title in the 60's and 70's of the last century, until the entrepreneur and businessman David Azrieli arrived and erected the 48-story Azrieli Towers.

In a knock-out, the developer Moshe Aviv, the contractor, erected the 68-story Aviv Towers in the mid-1990s and raised Ramat Gan to first place for many years when it was considered the tallest skyscraper in Israel.
He held this title until 2016, when the Azrieli Group built the Azrieli Sharon Towers on Begin Road, which surpassed the Aviv Towers by only 3.5 meters and reached 238.5 meters.
Even after the death of David Azrieli, who was gifted with an extraordinary architectural sense, his daughter Dana came up with an extraordinary plan to build the spiral tower on Beit Yediot and rose at once to 90 planned floors and about 360 meters above the ground.
End of discussion?
You laughed!
Ramat Gan did not give up and Mayor Carmel Shama responded when he published the plan for the Beser and Canada Israel towers in the triangle plan on the stock exchange.
He even arrogantly wrote: "Bialik corner of Ayalon lanes 2028. This project is twice the size of Azrieli, over 100 stories high, and will include 30,000 square meters built for the public."
If you thought that the "war of the authorities" was over, then you were wrong.
In Tel Aviv, another huge project "Tower between the cities" is planned which will rise to 100 floors and was designed by the architect Guy Miloslavsky.
The ink is not dry yet, and here is Ramat Gan responding and promoting a skyscraper that will be called "Tower 120", through the architect Avner Ishar that will rise to 120 floors.
The project is planned to be built in the Diamond Exchange complex in Ramat Gan, will rise to a height of over half a kilometer (about 520 meters!), which will make it the tallest building in Israel, and the tenth tallest tower in the world.
An inspection by 'Ndelan Hayom' shows that the tower is built of three towers of 40 floors each, which will be placed one on top of the other.
A Sky Lobby will be built on every 40 floors, which will be an independent and extensive lobby space, where four very fast elevators will stop at the stations of the 40 floors.
In addition, a shuttle elevator will be built that goes up 80 floors at record speed, two very impressive atriums/spaces will be built for the entire height of the tower, each 80 floors.
The first between floor 0 and 80 and the second between floor 40 and 120.
The floors in the tower will be spacious and spread over an area of 2,500-4,000 square meters and are intended for high-tech, commerce, offices and the offices of the stock exchange.
In the Tel Aviv-Ramat Gan war, in recent years a completely unexpected player has entered: the city of Bnei Brak, which is perhaps portrayed in the eyes of the public as ultra-orthodox and conservative.
Well, not so in the business part of it.
Here it gives a worthy match to its neighbors in climbing to a height and in modernity.

NIMRODI TOWER, for example, of the settlement of the settlement is an office tower located in the BBC business complex on Jabotinsky axis in Bnei Brak.
The tower, defined as a skyscraper, includes 52 floors, rises to a height of 211 meters and is the tallest tower in the entire business area, located in a location with great transportation accessibility, near the red line of the light rail.

According to Shlomo Polak, CEO of the Economic Society of Bnei Brak, "Following the success of the BBC complex, we are expected to soon see the establishment of a new employment complex of office towers that will be built in the northwest of the city of Bnei Brak. This complex will include 1.2 million square meters for employment and 300 A thousand square meters of public buildings, including the copying of the Bnei Brak railway and the roofing of the railway in the area of the complex."

Residential construction: over 200 meters
Let's start in the city of gardens, Ramat Gan (or soon the city of towers): on the ruins of the legendary "Alit" factory in Ramat Gan, standing on the southeast side of the intersection, the construction of the "Exchange Ramat-Gan" tower has begun, which will rise to a height of 55 stories over 210 meters, and thus will be the tallest residential tower built in Israel, and will bring residential height to a new record in Israel.
The tower, which will include 355 3- and 4-room apartments, was designed by the Yeski Mor Sivan office, and is currently being built by Azorim.
Apartments in the project are sold between 49-45 thousand shekels per square meter.

"The construction boom in the central area and the lack of land supply in areas of demand such as in Gush Dan, are bringing Israeli construction to heights that have not been seen before," says Gil Gurevich, VP of Regional Marketing.
"The stock exchange area, for example, where a number of iconic projects are expected to be built, is expected to be reminiscent of the world's leading commercial and business cities such as New York and Tokyo."

And from here to the big sister - Tel Aviv.
55 floors will be built on Ibn Gvirol Street in Tel Aviv.
This is the luxury DUO project of Africa Israel Residences, which will rise to 200 meters and was designed by the architect Avner Isr.
The DUO project 'Southern Symbol' is located at the intersection of Ibn Gvirol, Arlozorov and Ben Sarok streets Tel Aviv and includes two towers that together will include 668 new housing units.
Adjacent to the building, there is a commercial complex totaling approximately 12,000 square meters that will be an attractive focal point for the complex's residents. The project is expected to be occupied in 2027.
Tamir Lulu, Director of Marketing and Sales of Africa Israel Residential: "Thanks to the height and the impressive oblique appearance that will characterize the exterior design of the towers, the pair of skyscrapers will be an integral part of the urban landscape of the future Tel Aviv. In general, residential projects that offer hundreds of housing units in tall towers and modern, such as the DUO project, are an asset for the State of Israel to deal with the significant population crowding process that is expected to accompany it during the coming years."
Also in Somail complex in Ibn Gvirol, Tel Aviv: H-INFINITY TOWER - a 50-story tower that will include 273 apartments, which is considered a flagship project of the Hajaj Group in Tel Aviv.
The project designed by the office 'Moshe Tzur Architects and City Builders' allows you to enjoy the urban landscape of Tel Aviv combined with a glimpse of the sea.
Construction on the project is expected to be completed in 2026.
Tamir said, CEO of the Hajj Group: "The tower was built to the standard of the most prestigious towers in the world. It is already the center of great interest thanks to the fact that it is near complexes that combine high-quality family life, workplaces and places of recreation."
And another project that comes out of the box: get to know the "Beyond Project" program in the City of Givatayim.
For the first time in Israel, the Tel Aviv District Committee is promoting a plan to build a 64-story tower for long-term rental in Givatayim.
The plan includes 500 small housing units including studio apartments, and 2 and 3 room apartments.
This is to cater to small households, young couples and adults.
The program is located in a central location in the center of the Tel Aviv metropolis, east of Ayalon and bordering Ariel Sharon streets and a crossroads.
148 thousand shekels per square meter
Migdal brings luxury and a premium fragrance to the city.
58 million shekels were paid very recently for a penthouse apartment on the 29th floor in Arlozorov Tower 17 of the "Dan Real Estate" group in Tel Aviv.
Dan Nadlan - Arlozorov 17, photo: Moshe Tzur
This is the last apartment left for sale in a project that began to be inhabited about three years ago.
The penthouse apartment, which is 358 square meters and has two balconies with a total area of 70 square meters, extends over half of the 29th and last floor of the tower, was sold at shell level to a private buyer and also includes 4 parking spaces and a warehouse.
The price paid for the penthouse apartment reinforces the trend according to which luxury apartments in towers in Tel Aviv have become significantly more expensive in the past year.
The analysis of the transaction shows that the price per square meter (calculating the area of the balconies) is NIS 148,000, about 18% higher than the price paid according to publications in August 2021, when a penthouse apartment in the tower was sold for about NIS 50 million.
This apartment was also sold on a shell level, and covers the other half of the floor, with an area of 370 square meters including balconies of 60 square meters.
The price of this transaction reflects NIS 125,000 per square meter (calculating the area of the balconies).
This is a project that was ahead of its time and realized a vision of urban renewal, when instead of the historic bus parking lot of the Dan company that operated from the 1930s, a prestigious and impressive tower was erected for it, rising to a height of 113 meters and 29 floors, which has since been inaugurated, won national and international recognition.
This is according to Dolly Elrom, Dan Real Estate Marketing Manager: "The tower's location in the heart of the old north, together with exceptional architecture and a combination of unique specifications, dictated a significantly higher price than the average prices in the city and the surrounding area.
A price level of NIS 50,000-60,000 per square meter at the time was extremely unusual, together with the fact that Dan Real Estate was not yet recognized as an entrepreneurial company but was identified as a public transportation company, which posed a challenge in the marketing of the project.'
The prices of the apartments in the towers are sky high as well as their height.
The most expensive apartment sold this year in Ramat Gan was in the penthouse of the Time Tower designed by architect Moshe Tzur and is one of the new intriguing projects of the Shikun and Binui Real Estate Company.
The 38-story tower is expected to change the face of the "HaRishonim" neighborhood in the city from end to end.
Well, a penthouse on the 36th floor with a size of 290 square meters + 80 square meters of balcony was sold for a record price of NIS 12 million.
The price beyond the apartment
Prestige and stature must also be maintained with management fees of thousands of shekels per month.
As urban renewal projects turn into luxury residential towers, they affect the pockets of the existing apartment owners, and so while a house board that until now amounted to about 150 shekels per month now costs hundreds of shekels every month and sometimes thousands of shekels every month.
For those tenants this is a real bundle of trouble, so this may cause a negative migration from those projects or regenerating neighborhoods.
The solution: Recently, as a pilot, the Jerusalem District Planning and Construction Committee decided to promote a mechanism to establish a maintenance fund for tall buildings for the tenants of the Jerusalem project.
The fund will ensure the quality of living in high-rise construction and financing sources for the maintenance of high-rise buildings in three 20-30-story towers to be built in the city's Gila neighborhood.
To illustrate the problem, let's ask a small question: Do you have NIS 15 million to renovate your residential tower?
Tenants of a 40-year-old tower in Tel Aviv whose basements are leaking recently received an estimate for renovations amounting to approximately NIS 15 million.
There are hundreds of towers like them.
In Israel there is no maintenance law requiring the maintenance of the towers, the number of which is only increasing.
The consequences are far-reaching, all the more so because these are systems-intensive towers.
A new guide was recently published: "The guide for apartment owners to manage the maintenance of a complex building" published by the Governmental Authority for Urban Renewal.
Architect Benny Perry, a partner in v5 Architects, from the guide's professional team, explains that the matter of maintenance must be determined at the time of planning - something that is not regulated.
"If regular maintenance does not take place, the consequences may be serious, both for the authorities, and for the legal system, the planning systems, and can also cost human lives," Perry said.
Prof. Rachel Alterman of the Technion, urban planner, jurist and senior researcher at the Shmuel Na'eman Institute for National Policy Research, delivered a lecture titled "Towers vs. Residences".
According to her, residential towers are depriving, sterilizing, expensive and dangerous.
Bat Yam conquers the summit
In the big surprise, in the first place among the leading cities in construction for height (according to the LMS, a tower is 16 stories or higher), the city of Bat Yam is ranked, where 2,251 units began to be built in the first three quarters (an estimated annual rate of 3,000 units) - a jump in the rate compared to 1,233 units each year 2021.
In an examination of the leading cities in high-rise construction during the period under review, it appears that the city of Tel Aviv, which was the leader in the construction of towers in the last decade, is only in third place with only 693 housing units that began to be built in that period in buildings of 16 stories or higher - a decrease compared to the 1,503 units that began to be built in the city In the whole of 2021.

"The city of Bat Yam managed to overtake Tel Aviv in the construction of towers in 2022, and it is placed in first place among all the leading cities in this category, with a jump in the rate of construction compared to last year," explains Avi Zithoni, CEO of the A. Zithoni company, which builds, among other things, in the neighborhood The new "Sea Park" on the coastline in Bat Yam.
"The surge reflects the mindset of the Bat Yam municipality, as well as other municipalities in Israel, which encourage high-rise construction, especially in areas with high transportation accessibility. We are building 29-story towers in Bat Yam, and in my estimation, in the coming years, we will see 30-40-story towers across the country. To be established in new neighborhoods that will include a mix of uses such as commerce and employment, and will be built around main means of transportation."
The city of Netanya is placed in second place with construction starts of 1,825 units in towers of 16 stories and above - a jump in pace compared to only 878 units in each year of 2021.
In fourth place is Givat Shmuel with 684 construction starts on towers compared to 369 last year, followed by Jerusalem with 670 compared to only 210 last year.
The beer is rising
Jerusalem is quite a surprise with a clear policy of towers along the light rail route.
If the city of Florence in Italy, for example, maintained a ban on high-rise construction as a conservation city, Jerusalem did not hold back.
Every urban renewal program that is promoted in the city - turns the train housing into 20-30 story towers.
We will remember that Jerusalem was a decade ahead of Tel Aviv in the establishment of the light rail, and now it is reawakening with massive construction to height along the rail's axes.
Construction involves commerce, employment, public and residential buildings.
The towers will begin in front of the Gesher Mithir with the entrance project to the city, a new business district 'Ariel Sharon', with an area of approximately 1.6 million square meters for employment, commerce, entertainment, hotels and leisure. Transportation with a high-speed train from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, two light rail lines, an underground parking lot and an interchange with level separation for combined public, private and pedestrian traffic. The business district will also include workspaces and office complexes, which should provide about 60 thousand new jobs in the city .
In the new business district will be built 'Migdal Marom', considered the tallest tower in Jerusalem which will rise over 40 floors and will combine employment and commercial areas, a cultural center, an art gallery, a museum and a congress center.
The District Committee for Planning and Construction in Jerusalem decided to approve the construction and design plan for the tower.
The Mayor of Jerusalem, Moshe Leon, explains: "The construction policy in the city advocates densification and the creation of a full mix of uses, with the aim of utilizing the limited land resource and providing a significant addition of housing units, alongside public buildings and supplementary services for the growing population. Along with the construction boom, we are investing heavily In the development of transportation infrastructure, with an emphasis on a public transportation system for mass transportation, while linking to all parts of the city and to the intercity rail infrastructures."

The towers are expected to be erected in all parts of the city of Jerusalem, even in the highest places.
For example, a tower of 'Carden Real Estate' is expected to be built on the "Holyland" complex, a ridge top located 770 meters above sea level.
Despite the topographical conditions, the tower of Carden Real Estate will rise over 31 floors and will dwarf the entire environment due to its height and enjoy an endless view of the entire city.
3 more towers of the ICR company with 22-26 floors and a total of 500 apartments (of which about 80 units for long-term rent for a period of 15 years) will be built on the top of the hill in the French Hill neighborhood in the north of the city of Jerusalem.

In both Holyland and French Hill, the towers will be built at record heights, and will enjoy a panoramic view of the entire city of Jerusalem.
ICR CEO Mordi Shabat says: "The towers in French Hill are in a strategic location that enjoys strong demand, and we believe it will lead to momentum in the entire region.
The French Hill project joins other projects that the company is promoting in the city, such as the Hantaka complex in Kiryat Al-Yuval for the construction of 425 units in four towers, which is expected to go on sale in 2023.

According to Sivan Hilli, the VP of Marketing at Kardan Real Estate adds: "Each apartment has an amazing view at a height of about 770 meters above sea level in a prime location. In the planning of the project, a reduction in details is evident in the planning.
For example, from every window in the house, natural light from the Jerusalem landscape will come in."
Even with the urban renewal, construction in the capital is rising in height. This is what is happening in the neighborhoods of Kiryat Yuval and Kiryat Menachem, which are expected to greatly increase the number of housing units.
These areas are hotbeds of urban renewal, and light rail lines run through them.
Gil Goldstein, CEO of Avni Derech Urban Renewal, which is planning 600 apartments in 4 towers on Brazil Street in the city's Kiryat Hiyoval neighborhood: "The Jerusalem Municipality sees the field of urban renewal as an engine for the city's growth and renewal, and is therefore making significant moves to shorten processes on the ground.
Jerusalem in the last decade has hardly provided housing solutions for young couples or for housing improvers.
Brazil Project, Milestones Group, Photo: Ivalev Media
Moreover, the city even suffered from negative immigration.
Today, thanks to urban renewal, the municipality vigorously promotes building permits, including through towers in the old neighborhoods.'
Offices as an ecosystem concept
The local authorities have realized in recent years that they have an opportunity to attract a high-tech company to them, in exchange for benefits and the development of new employment areas for the height.
This is how Petach Tikva Municipality acted, for example, when it rebranded the Kiryat Aryeh industrial area, which today is called "ParkTech".
In the last two years, the Sharon Towers have positioned themselves as a center of attraction for powerful companies, and are an alternative to the towers offered in Tel Aviv.
It is not for nothing that companies like Microsoft chose the Sharon region as a place to establish their new campuses.
The complex established by Akro Real Estate is located in the southern part of the Herzliya Pituach Industrial Zone, on an area that covers 10 dunams with an area of approximately 45,000 square meters that is leased in its entirety to Microsoft Israel.
In the coming years, Herzliya Pituach is expected to develop even higher.
These days, an outline plan for the employment area is being promoted in the district planning committee, which is expected to increase construction rights.
The plan is expected to turn the employment area into a complex that will contain towers of 30 stories and more, in contrast to the current situation where most of the construction in Herzliya Pituach is characterized by lower buildings.
If until a few years ago Herzliya Pituach and Ramat Ha'il were equal in terms of price levels, as of today Herzliya exceeds Ramat Ha'il significantly and already stands at about 85 shekels per square meter for the envelope level, while the level of the soldier remains at 65 shekels per square meter for the envelope level.
Another employment area where expansion and many transactions have been reported in recent months is the 'Knowledge-rich' employment area in Kfar Saba Mizrah.
The Shapiro company is building a project of two towers on the site with a scope of about 33 thousand square meters and are in negotiations with several hi-tech companies.
The Matrix company has already rented an entire building in Atir Yeda.
Another complex in the Sharon area that has been growing stronger in recent years and is climbing higher is the 'Nova Na'aman' employment area in Hod Hasharon which is increasingly positioning itself as Israel's "Prama Valley", in light of the biomedical and life sciences companies that have decided to establish central headquarters or branches there.
This complex has very high accessibility to major roads such as highway 5 or highway 6 and 4, when most of the time the traffic to it, due to the geographical location, is contrary to traffic jams.
Tzachi Sufrin, the controlling owner and vice chairman of the board of directors of the Sufrin Group, notes: "Office towers located near residential neighborhoods, where the population is mainly characterized by high-tech workers, are becoming more in demand today for the companies that employ them.
The improvement of recent years in the accessibility and frequency of the train and its arrival at the employment centers have made such places more attractive.'

המגדלים יכסו את השמיים
מגדלי יוקרה במראה וניחוח תל אביבי מתחילים להתפשט בכל הארץ. העיר אשדוד מדורגת במקום השישי מבין הערים המובילות עם 654 יח"ד שהחלו להיבנות במגדלים בהמשך ל-405 יחידות דיור, אשתקד. העיר אשקלון הסמוכה מציגה ירידה חדה בקצב הבנייה במגדלים עם 514 יח"ד בינואר עד ספטמבר 2022, לעומת 1,638 בכל 2021.
מלבדן, בעוד יישובי ערי הפריפריה רואים יותר ויותר מגדלי מגורים. בבאר שבע הוחל בבניית 343 יח"ד, בקריית ים- 222 יח"ד, בקריית מלאכי- 195 יח"ד, ביישובים כמו קריית מוצקין – 138 יח"ד, יוקנעם עלית – 138 יח"ד, ונשר – 110 יח"ד. ב-2021, לצורך ההשוואה לא נבנה מגדל אחד בערים אלה.
ביוקנעם לדוגמה, שני המגדלים הראשונים והגבוהים בעיר יתרוממו ל-19 קומות כל אחד והם כוללים סך להכל 139 יחידות דיור (מגדל אחד ימנה 70 והשני 69 יחידות דיור). אחד מהבניינים מיועד כולו למכירה לשוק החופשי והשני מיועד כולו להשכרה לתקופה של 15 שנה.

קבוצת שובל, בבעלות היזם משה מילר, זכתה בקרקע למגדלים ביוקנעם ביולי 2020 לאחר שהציעה מחיר של כ-33 מיליון שקל עבור הקרקע. לדברי ישי רוט, סמנכ"ל פיתוח עסקי בקבוצת שובל, פנטהאוז בפרויקט יימכר במחיר של החל מ-7 וחצי מיליון שקלים.
בבניין המיועד להשכרה, כ-20 יח"ד מיועדות להשכרה מפוקחת לזכאים, בשכר דירה מופחת שיעמוד על כ-1,800 שקל לדירת 3 חדרים וכ-2,800 שקל לדירת 4 חדרים.
גם באר שבע תתכסה לאט לאט מגדלים במסגרת ההתחדשות העירונית.
לדוגמה, במסגרת התוכנית לחידוש שכונת ג׳, מוצע הריסת 4 מבני שיכון ישנים ומרכז מסחרי בן קומה. במקומם יוקמו כ-14 מבנים בגובה של עד 10 קומות ו-3 מגדלים בני 17 קומות. הבינוי החדש יכלול חזיתות פעילות לרחוב וינגייט שבהם ישולבו שטחי מסחר ומבני ציבור.
בנוסף, התוכנית תאפשר הקמת שבילי אופניים ברחוב וינגייט.
רוביק דנילוביץ', ראש עיריית באר שבע, ציין כי באר שבע, בירת המטרופולין הדרומי התפתחה באופן יוצא דופן בשנים האחרונות.
״לצד הקמת השכונות החדשות אנחנו פועלים נמרצות להתחדשות מרכז העיר. מדיניות העירייה היא לקדם ולתעדף את ההתחדשות העירונית בעיר וליצור מרכז עירוני תוסס ופעיל שימשוך אליו אוכלוסייה חדשה ויספק שירותים לכל תושבי האזור.
את זאת נקדם באמצעות תוכניות של עירוב שימושים, שייצרו סביבת חיים עירונית אטרקטיבית ויצירת מרחב ציבורי איכותי. כאשר המטרה היא צמצום הפערים מול השכונות החדשות ומשיכת אוכלוסייה צעירה אל המרכז״.
בבאר שבע יש כבר מגדל משרדים אחד שמשנה את קו הרקיע של בירת הנגב.

M TOWER הוא מגדל המשרדים הגבוה ביותר בעיר כיום. את המגדל יזמה חברת 'י'.
משעל ובניו יזמות' והוא מתנשא לגובה של 30 קומות ונחשב למונומנט פורץ דרך בעיר. המגדל תוכנן על-ידי ברעלי לויצקי כסיף אדריכלים ונבנה על-ידי קבוצת אורון כאשר הנחיית היזמים הייתה לתכנן מגדל משרדים מודרני כמו מגדלי המשרדים בתל אביב.
המגדל, שבנייתו הסתיימה לאחרונה, מהווה סנונית ראשונה בשינוי קו הרקיע של העיר, כאשר לצידו, במרכז העסקים המתפתח בלב העיר, יבנו בקרוב מגדלי משרדים נוספים, ביניהם מגדל של בית החולים אסותא ובניין של חברת כימיקלים בישראל. כמו-כן הבניין נבנה בבנייה ירוקה עם קירות מסך ומערכות מודרניות וכולל קומת מסחר וכ-500 מקומות חנייה.
המגדל השני בגובהו בארץ
דוגמא למגדל בפריפריה שייצור אייקון חדש למרכז המטרופולין הצפוני וישנה את פני האזור הוא מגדל נשר באזור התעשייה 'מחצבה 4.5' בנשר. זהו פרויקט מעורב שימושים בן 64 קומות שיכלול כ-80 אלף מ"ר משרדים, כ-4000 מ"ר מסחר וכ-780 יחידות דיור למעונות סטודנטים.

את התוכנית יזמה חברת מגדלור מקס בבעלות שמגר ואקנין (בעלים של גשם) ובן מקס, בתכנונו של גיא מילוסלבסקי.
הפרויקט נהנה מנגישות תחבורתית מעולה ונשען על קו הרכבל החדש המחבר את הצ'ק פוסט, הטכניון ואוניברסיטת חיפה ומהווה מחבר פיזי, תרבותי ואקדמי בין מחקר, אקדמיה והפרקטיקה.
מגדל נשר עתיד להיות גולת הכותרת והלב הפועם של המתחם החדש. בפרויקט ישולבו שטחים פתוחים ופארקים היוצרים מרקם עירוני חדשני.
"העלייה בהיקף הבנייה של מגדלים בפריפריה אינה מפתיעה", מסביר האדריכל גיא מילוסלבסקי.
"ראשית, עליית המחירים בכל הארץ מחייבת משפחות רבות לעבור לקנות ולשכור דירות באזורים מרוחקים מהמרכז. סיבה נוספת היא התגברות מדיניות התכנון של מתחמים מעורבי שימושים, המעמידה גם בפריפריה רמת חיים גבוהה במתחמים הכוללים מגורים, תעסוקה, מסחר, שירותים, פנאי ושטחים ירוקים.
גם תושבי הפריפריה הבינו את איכות החיים שניתן לקבל במגורים במגדל ולכן הביקוש למגורים במגדלים בפריפריה עולה, וגם ראשי הערים בפריפריה הבינו שכדי למשוך אליהם תושבים הם צריכים להשקיע בתשתיות של חינוך, במשיכת חברות להקים בעירם משרדים ומפעלים, וכן לתמוך ביזמים המבקשים ליזום פרויקטים במרחבי העיר שלהם״.
