Dizengoff Center, designed by Israeli architect Yitzhak Yashar, was Israel's first mall.

[3] The mall has around 420 stores, one movie theater (Lev Dizengoff, with 6 screens), restaurants, an internet cafe, a design center holding exhibitions from around the world (Soho), specialty stores (comic books, video games, gadgets, stamp-collecting, posters), a rooftop swimming pool and two gyms.

Dizengoff Tower was commissioned by developer Abraham Pilz and Azorim, and designed by the architect Mordechai Ben Horin.

The architect wanted to maximize the perimeter of the building and allow each apartment to have a view in two directions, hence the zig-zag shape.

The original design called for 320 small apartments of approximately 50 m2 (540 sq ft), but many were combined, for an eventual total of 226.
