The Elite Tower was a skyscraper planned for construction in Ramat Gan, Israel, but as of March 2015, construction was cancelled due to delays in the permitting process. At 265 metres upon completion, the tower would have been the tallest building in Israel, taking the title from its neighbour, City Gate Tower. Originally slated to be constructed by Donald Trump as the Trump Plaza Tower, the project was purchased by the Azorim Group and was to be constructed on the historic site of the Elite Candy Factory. The finished building would have contained a museum as a tribute to this.
Originally, the Elite Tower was planned by American real estate tycoon Donald Trump in association with Crescent Heights Investments as his first development in Israel. Called the Trump Plaza Tower, Trump shelved the plans in 2007, when the site was sold on to Azorim for NIS 306.5 million. Trump purchased the site for $44 million.
Advanced planning for the site was frozen by Azorim as a result of the financial crisis of 2007–2010, but resumed in late 2009.
Type A , Type T ,
Call it what you will.
Dead calm, snake charm,
Just can t get my fill.
I can t say that I don t scare -
But that just turns me on.
So hard to lay in bed, idling, while the world keeps turning.
Down time is for the dead - sleep is time lost forever.
Some suspect a wild hair,
A wild hair
Up there.
Solid man, humanitarian,
Boy, how I try.
But my weeds impede
The path on that climb.
Everything that is clear to me
Are things that no one sees.
What others understand only serves to confuse me.
Whatever others dread never fails to ignite me.
Some suspect a wild hair,
A wild hair
Oh, yeah.
Why can t I let up?
My neck s as stiff as stone.
One whiff o new land -
