Just stumbled onto this current news story about the new "Tower of Babel" being built in Tel Aviv on the site of the mythological Beit Yediot Ahronot.
I am having no luck finding out about the "mythological Beit Yediot Ahronot" because it seems to also be the name of a publication founded in 1939. So any help uncovering this "mythological" structure they are tearing down would be appreciated! I even got the address for the current complex but it didn't yield any results, either.
So this is the Azrieli Group logo:
Here is what they are planning to do:
There is a raging current debate about the historical/culture/religious implications of this structure:
I also run across stories about the recent approval of plans for the Bein Arem Tower (1,300 ft) in about the same time frame.
The linked story indicated that the Azrieli group is involved in this scheme. Just what are they up to?

Topping out at 91 stories and reaching 1,150 feet toward the heavens, it is estimated that the Spiral Tower will take six years to complete at an estimated cost of $666 million. The new tower will take its place next to the iconic circle, square and triangle towers that make up the Azrieli Complex.
There is a raging current debate about the historical/culture/religious implications of this structure:
Also, the claim that this will be the tallest tower in Tel Aviv (1,148 ft) won't last for long!One of the largest real-estate developers in Israel revealed plans for the soon-to-be tallest building in Israel that looks surprisingly similar to images of what the Tower of Babel may have looked like. But a closer look reveals the new building may be much more, what one rabbi thinks could be a dry-run for building the Third Temple.

It is believed that the Tel Aviv municipality will soon issue a tender to market the land to developers. Due to the scope of the project and the fact that most of its uses are for offices and hotels, large companies oriented towards offices such as Azrieli Group Ltd. (TASE: AZRG), Amot Investments Ltd. (TASE:AMOT), and Nitsba Holdings Ltd. (TASE: NTBA) are expected to take an interest in the tender, as well as cooperation between income-producing real estate companies and players in the hotel industry.
