The high volumes of construction in the country right now are personified in KPF's 350-metre Azrieli Spiral Tower in Tel Aviv. It's set to become Israel’s first supertall skyscraper when it completes in 2026. Tel Aviv is also building a new mass transit system consisting of three light rail and three metro lines. We're covering it all!</p><p><br></p><p>Later, we talk about The B1M's infamous social media April fools joke... we trolled the internet into thinking the Jeddah Tower in Saudi Arabia was BACK under construction, but with a cheeky twist. Then we're heading over to New York to discuss another supertall skyscraper under construction in the city. Also designed by KPF, 520 Fifth Avenue will rise 305-metres above Manhattan and offer 98 residential apartments across its 76-storeys, along with new commercial space at street level.</p><p><br></p><p>We end the show with a spicy email from Benjamin Ryan.</p><p><br></p><p>Get in touch!
