Giv'atayim Mall

Giv'atayim Mall (Hebrew: קניון גבעתיים) is a large shopping centre located at 53 Yitzhak Rabin Street in Givatayim, Israel. It was built in 2005 on part of an area known as "Area 9", a sandy vacant plot whose remaining portion became Givatayim Park. The complex has a total built area of approximately 90,000 square metres, of which about 22,181 square metres are dedicated to retail, leisure and offices. The commercial section spans three floors, with office floors above it. The mall is distinguished by natural lighting that enters through a 1,400-square-metre skylight, enhanced by a special mirror system. It houses around 150 stores, mixing international and Israeli chains with boutiques, cafés and restaurants. Its tenant mix has included Fox, The Children's Place, American Eagle, Bagir, Castro, Golf, Super-Pharm, Carrefour, Renoir, A.L.M. electrical goods, Foot Locker and Urbanica. Food and beverage operators have included Aroma, New Deli, KFC, Arcaffe, Roladin and McDonald's. Leisure amenities include seven cinemas operated by the Rav Chen chain and a Holmes Place fitness centre. About 1,200 parking spaces serve visitors arriving by car. Ownership has changed twice. The mall was initially held by IDB and in December 2008 passed to the Azrieli Group, one of Israel's largest real estate and shopping-centre operators. Under Azrieli, the property is marketed as part of the Azrieli Malls portfolio and is branded in Hebrew as Azrieli Givatayim. The mall serves the Givatayim and wider Tel Aviv metropolitan area, competing with nearby retail centres while benefiting from a dense residential and office catchment.
