Totzeret HaAretz Towers

  • ... that WeWork's largest space in Israel is located in the iceberg-inspired Totzeret HaAretz Tower 1 in Tel Aviv? Source: "it turns out that in Israel, WeWork's biggest lease (and perhaps other leases also) has actually been signed by Ampa.", "Almost two years after the reports of the huge lease signed by WeWork in the new ToHa building in Tel Aviv, sources inform "Globes" that the company that actually signed the lease is Ampa Real Estate." [1], "במסיבת עיתונאים שנערכה הבוקר באתר הבנייה אמרו השניים כי המגדל מעוצב בצורה גיאומטרית, השואבת השראה מקרחון חצוב כמעין יהלום שהונח בלב הצומת הסואן." (iceberg part) [2]
    • ALT1: ... that the design of Totzeret HaAretz Tower 1 in Tel Aviv was inspired by icebergs? Source: "במסיבת עיתונאים שנערכה הבוקר באתר הבנייה אמרו השניים כי המגדל מעוצב בצורה גיאומטרית, השואבת השראה מקרחון חצוב כמעין יהלום שהונח בלב הצומת הסואן." (iceberg part) [3]

  • WeWork is kaput, and there is little chance it will be leasing new spaces. Abductive (reasoning) 21:12, 9 December 2019 (UTC)
Is it? Their article seems to say that they're still active. Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 00:21, 10 December 2019 (UTC)
Surviving but not thriving. Note that the source quoted above contradicts the blurb. Abductive (reasoning) 00:27, 10 December 2019 (UTC)
Would a new hook be needed then, in this case? Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 00:36, 10 December 2019 (UTC)
Well, I would like to known how exactly it is inspired by icebergs even though it is black. Abductive (reasoning) 00:50, 10 December 2019 (UTC)
@Abductive: I think it's just the photo, the tower's window blinds are designed to be bright, and the glass is standard. I work not far from there and can take a better picture some time, but can't promise anything at the moment. Here is an article with a picture where the building looks brighter (hey, might use this as a source).[4]Ynhockey (Talk) 09:54, 11 December 2019 (UTC)
So, why not, "... that the design of Totzeret HaAretz Tower 1 in Tel Aviv was inspired by icebergs?" Abductive (reasoning) 06:16, 12 December 2019 (UTC)
@Abductive: Do you think it's better? I just wanted something that non-Israelis could relate to, not to mention it is IMO interesting based on recent events. I have added this as an alternative, but the original version also mentions the iceberg. —Ynhockey (Talk) 12:27, 14 December 2019 (UTC)
I think it would work, but I will defer to whatever the consensus is here. Abductive (reasoning) 15:31, 14 December 2019 (UTC)
@Narutolovehinata5: I am not sure whether WeWork's financial situation is relevant to this DYK, I just thought of using a fact from the article that's relatable to someone who does not live in Tel Aviv. However, if you are interested in WeWork, they are still leasing new spaces in Tel Aviv and the rest of Israel, like this one.[5] Yes, it could collapse tomorrow, I have no idea about that, but as of this writing it's still working. —Ynhockey (Talk) 09:51, 11 December 2019 (UTC)
As long as WeWork still existed by the time this shows up on the main page, there's no issue with using present tense, no? Worst case scenario promoter changes the hook to past tense. Juxlos (talk) 19:51, 12 December 2019 (UTC)
  • Since there hasn't actually been a review of this, I'll say that article is good and long enough, hook is in article and sourced (to Hebrew, AGF), QPQ has been done. Only approving Alt 1 based on concern above and because the iceberg fact is interesting without the random mention of WeWork. Kingsif (talk) 01:37, 22 December 2019 (UTC)
