The Shahav Tower is situated in a prime location, between 2 highways and in close proximity to the bus terminal and train station of Kfar Saba, central Israel. The tower consists of a ground floor dedicated to commercial use and 20 floors of office space. In order to maximize the commercial area of the ground floor the first floor was enlarged, allowing the creation of an external area for the restaurants, offering a shaded open space.

One of the main objectives of the project was to follow a tight schedule, and complete the project in a short period of time, in 1.5 years. For this purpose, the design and planning process was developed from the beginning, together with the technical advisers from the company that will operate the building upon completion. That way, all the different aspects of operation were taken into consideration and allowed a quick progress with city departments at all stages of approvals. This resulted to a very clean design of the office floors, making it easy to complete in a short period of time.

In addition, a system of a "climbing casting frame" was used for the core of the building, resulting in a detachment between the core and the floors, allowing for a quick construction progress, by getting 3 floors built every 2 weeks.
