HaYarkon 96 is a historic International Style building in Tel Aviv, Israel, built in 1935 and reconstructed in 2012. Its penthouse with sea-views, was at one point, considered to be the most expensive property in the country.[1] The building was built by Pinchas Bieżoński, while its reconstruction was led by Shlomo Grofman (former chairman of Africa-Israel) and Zalman Shoval (a former Israeli ambassador).
HaYarkon 96 is a historic Bauhaus-influenced International-Style building with a modern extension built in.
The original building was constructed in 1935 by architect Pinchas Bieżoński (1885–1992), shaped like the Hebrew letter "ח" (or an English "n") and surrounding a narrow front courtyard. Zalman Shoval, who was involved in its preservation, lived there with his family from the 1940s through the 1970s.
In 2012, the building was reopened following a careful preservation project. During the preservation, an extension was added, bringing the building's floor count to nine stories. Along with the additional floors, the building has 45 residential units[2] - some with views of the Mediterranean Sea. It is located on HaYarkon Street, a short distance from the Tel Aviv Promenade.
