High Line consists of a single residential tower, soaring to a height of 106 meters and comprising 31 floors, 29 of which are residential floors with a total of 163 apartments. Two additional floors – the ground and gallery floors – contain two kindergartens, gym, residents’ club, bicycle and stroller room, main lobby, entrances, trash rooms and compactor room.

The last residential floor, floor number 29, includes a pH4-type swimming pool, with two roof floors above it: a technical floor with a water tank, elevator machine room, pump room, and open technical room, and an upper rooftop floor.

The parking lot has 4 entire levels for parking, and an additional elevator service level (minus 5). It consists of parking spaces, entrances, and storage spaces, as well as technical rooms – water tanks and pumps rooms, electrical rooms, generator rooms, ventilation shafts, and a transformer room.

Project Advantages

Its location at the center of a dense neighborhood, with limited and narrow accessways and no preparation area, afforded High Line with several unique characteristics: The foremost among them is the climbing formwork system integrated around the building’s core. Advantages include the ability to carry out work without a preparation area, lesser crane time, shorter

execution time for each floor by four days, and shorter critical path as the elevator shaft is ready before the building’s frame is complete.

Another distinct characteristic is the utilization of industrial plumbing in wet areas, for the first time in a residential building in Israel. The most significant advantages are minimizing the thickness of flooring underlay, easy access for maintenance, and improved insulation in wet areas. The plumbing systems come preassembled and fully prepared from the factory, and need only be installed on site and connected to the water feed and the vertical sewage system. Each sanitary wall is of course tested at the factory for compliance with the strictest standards. Before cladding, water pipes and drain water plumbing are tested for pressure durability.

Lastly, parking lots walls were sealed using a unique sealing-sheets system. In comparison to traditional spray sealing, using continuous sheets requires fewer work stages and saves time, allows for clean and convenient work, and reduces concrete wall volume.
