Moving on Up in and around Ramat Gan

 Numerous high rise buildings are going up in Ramat Gan, Tel Aviv and even Bnai Brak.

The first image is a building on Jabotinsky Road in Ramat Gan (Ramat Gan means 'Garden City) but the building is only a few blocks from Bnai Brak. The lack of furniture on the balconies probably means that people haven't moved in yet. The poster on the left is an advertisement for membership in a golf club (I think). There are two flags on the pole. The one on the left is the Ramat Gan flag, the one on the right is the Israel flag.


The second image is of a thirty story residential building just across the street from where Beth lives. In the foreground is Rambam square. 

As we've been visiting Beth the past few years, the building has gotten closer and closer to being occupied but I think (again based on the balcony rule) that it is not quite to the occupancy level.






The final image is taken from Rabbi Akiva street in Bnai Brak. This is the main street of Bnai Brak. You can see the old 1950s type construction on the left. 

A more modern 1990s building containing retail is on the right (it has arches on the street level). However, in the background is a new residential tower a few blocks away. I think it is also in Bnai Brak but not in the 'Haredi' part..
