  Internationally renowned developer donates $2.7M to Carleton University
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.

MONTREAL David Azrieli unabashedly describes his Shalom Project as his magnum opus, the crown jewel of his real estate empire, the work that he hopes he will be remembered by.
Azrieli, head of the Montreal-based Canpro Investments Ltd., calls it the largest development of its kind in the Middle East: a 350,000-square-foot, two-level shopping mall specializing in fashion topped by three high-rise towers, a total of 1,335,000 square feet.
Azrieli capitalized on new banking regulations that limit non-banking assets to 25 percent in the first phase and 20 percent within two years.

He says it has been overlooked that it was not Azrieli who obtained the demolition permit, but Royal Trust from whom he bought the mansion which had been abandoned by the Van Horne estate.
Topas said Azrieli is now taking a gamble by adding value to the former office building, which translates into more tax revenue for the city.
Other Azrieli touches include the cover of the Renoir's menu which features a still life painting by the artist, the original of which Azrieli recently donated to the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts.

Azrieli, who has a master's degree in architecture from Carleton University, Ottawa, says his shopping centers in Israel follow the American architectural model.
While Azrieli used the U.S. model of shopping centers for his Israeli projects, it cannot be said that Middle East influences are evident in his North American projects -- with the exception, perhaps, of the occasional falafel or hummus that might be found in the food courts.

Their goal was to create a new organization to deal with the architectural anarchy that reigned in the jewel on the St. Lawrence.
At the time, downtown landowners like David Azrieli owned homes like the historic Van Horne Mansion, a place that generated too little income to justify its staggering tax bill.
Azrieli bought a $5 demolition permit and tore down this irreplaceable treasure so he could replace it with the hideous Liquid Air skyscraper.

 DR. SHAUL SEHAYIK: "AN UNKNOWN EPISODE"
his book has its origins in the publication of the book by David Azrieli, entitled 'One Step Ahead', in which he unfolds the episode, and his desertion, together with his comrade-in-arms Adam Gillon (Vogeil), from Anders' Polish Army on their arrival in Iraq.
The two men shared emotion-laden recollections of that journey from the hideout to the camp, a journey that took place in complete silence according to the rules of secrecy then operating in the underground: you didn't ask questions; you only executed the mission.
There were also three eminent men from the Yishuv, without whose courage and help, David and I would not have been able to come to the Holy Land and serve in Israel's Defense Army during the War of Independence.
