Internationally renowned developer donates $2.7M to Carleton University (1084 words)
David Azrieli, C.M., C.Q., MArch/97, head of Montreal-based Canpro Investments Ltd., is renowned in Israel for creating some of the Middle East's largest developments including state of the art skyscrapers, office complexes and the famous Azrieli Centre, Tel Aviv's massive 3.4 million square-foot commercial complex which opened in 1998.
Azrieli's success in Canada was steady and far-reaching and included not only his rise as one of Montreal's most prominent businessmen but a leader in the development and management of commercial real estate markets in both Canada and the United States.
Azrieli says the Carleton project is a continuation of his efforts to promote the education of the new generation of architects.

In 1998 Montreal builder David Azrieli inaugurated the 187-metre, 50-storey Circular Tower and a two-floor shopping concourse and parking garage – the first phase of his mega-project in central Tel Aviv opposite the Qirya (Defence Ministry) and adjoining an expressway and commuter train station in the very heart of the Big Orange.
But as a result of a dispute between Azrieli and the municipality about adding extra floors and changing the zoning to permit a hotel, construction was halted in 1999 on the skeleton of the landmark complex’s third tower, the 154-metre Square Tower, when it reached the height of six floors.
In 2001 the Azrieli Centre’s Circle Tower was eclipsed as the tallest building in Israel by City Gate in Ramat Gan’s Diamond District – also known as Moshe Aviv Tower after the project’s developer.
