Rothschild 22 Tower  Rothschild 22 Tower () is a 29-story Israeli skyscraper reaching 117.9 meters in height, with an additional 9-meter tall decorative mast, and which covers an area of 1.9 dunam. The tower, serving as office space and as a hotel, is located at 22 Rothschild Boulevard, Tel Aviv, on the corner of Nachalat Binyamin street. Built from 2010 to 2014, the tower was constructed on the plot which previously was the location of the Beit ZIM building, which was destroyed in a fire in the year 1966. In 1958, Zim Integrated Shipping Services (ZIM) constructed Beit ZIM, a five-story office building for designed by the architect Dov Karmi. The building contained offices for ZIM, Dizengoff Trading, Dizengoff West Africa, Yachin Hakal Israel, Gmul, Alda, Astraco, Scandinavian Airlines, and other companies. In February 1966 the building was severely damaged in a large conflagration, which led to the decision to completely destroy the building due to safety considerations. The plot of land, now empty, was nicknamed "The ZIM pit" (). In 1981, Bank Mizrahi acquired the plot from ZIM in order to build its central headquarters. The bank planned to lay the building's cornerstone in April 1986; however a week before the expected date the Bejski Commission published its conclusions regarding the 1983 Israel bank stock crisis including a call for the bank's CEO to resign. Following this development the bank decided to indefinitely postpone the construction. In August 1997 the bank planned to construct a 18-story tower on the plot to serve as its offices. In order to do so, the Tel Aviv-Yafo Municipality required the bank to buy an old house for the purpose of historic preservation as a condition in order to receive a zoning permit. In that month, the bank bought the historic building Beit Naparsteg from the businessman Zadik Bino for approximately 4.5 million USD, after which it received a building permit. The bank only begun the building process in 2001, and after digging the foundations the bank's management changed its mind and decided to instead move its offices to the Moshe Aviv Tower in Ramat Gan; following this building was halted. In October 2006, Bank Mizrahi sold the plot to the Russian-French-Israeli businessman Arcadi Gaydamak together with four other buildings intended for preservation in the area, in exchange for 26 million USD.
