The Azrieli Group announced that the commercial section of the Azrieli Sarona Tower in Tel Aviv, spanning 9,000 square meters, will be converted into a fashion museum. This decision comes after the retail space experienced low occupancy for four years since its launch.
The museum, curated by Dr. Yaara Kidron, is slated to open in early 2027 and will occupy three floors of the tower. Azrieli aims to attract at least 250,000 visitors annually to the complex, anticipating that the museum will boost overall business revenue within the compound.
Revenue for the museum is expected to come from exhibition tickets, a gift shop, and food and beverage services. Financial analysts predict that the property's classification in financial reports will change to fixed assets.
