A rooftop helipad is the most recognizable visual element of the tower, similar to Arison Medical Tower.
Fourth tower in Israel with a rooftop helipad. The fifth is situated only dozens of meters away; HaYovel Tower.
Every floor is divided into 50 offices with the most sought after were those facing the sea on the upper west wing.
3 additional floors were added in 2000 to the original 14-storey plan.
There are 1286 offices in the building and 2400 doors.
Matcal Tower replaced the old 8-storey IDF command building, called Building-22; constructed in 1954.
The facade is made of glass, granite and aluminum panels.
Upon completion, a connection between Kaplan underpath and the tower's underground carpark will be ready to use.
The connecting oval core is reinforced to withstand high impact collisions of all kinds.
