The BEYOND tower in Givatayim, set to become the tallest building in Israel, has reached a key milestone in its completion. The project, led by the Tidhar Group, Union, and Himenuta, has officially received approval for its fire safety and emergency response systems.
The tower rises to a height of approximately 320 meters and spans 78 floors. According to the developers, the facility is designed to accommodate about 10,000 people daily. Given its scale and height, an advanced crowd evacuation system has been engineered to handle emergency scenarios.
The safety infrastructure includes dedicated evacuation elevators and fire-protected stairwells. The design allows for a systematic and rapid evacuation of thousands of people, prioritized by floor level during an emergency event.

The fire department approval follows a complex verification process, which included large-scale drills to test emergency response systems and evacuation capabilities.
"BEYOND is a groundbreaking project in Israel, not only in its height but also in its engineering and operational complexity. Receiving this approval reflects the high standards we have set and the significant investment in planning and safety systems, achieved through exceptional cooperation with the fire department throughout the process," said Gil Geva, Chairman of the Tidhar Group.
Dan District Commander, Tafsar Oren Shishitzki, addressed the safety challenges posed by the tower: "A 320-meter-high tower, where thousands of people are expected to be present every day, presents complex safety and fire-fighting challenges that require advanced preparation for any scenario."
He noted that the approval is the result of thorough, joint planning aimed at ensuring public safety. "From our perspective, height is not just an engineering figure; it is a responsibility. We will continue to integrate innovation, technology, and advance planning to ensure the well-being of the workers and visitors in the tower," he added.
The approval was granted in the presence of Gil Geva, Tafsar Oren Shishitzki, Head of Fire Protection in the Dan District Tafsar-Mishne Edward Krivosheev, and Head of Implementation and Control at the General Headquarters, Tat-Tafsar Emmanuel Mushaev.
