Nvidia is ramping up its presence in Israel with a major real estate move that will see the U.S.-based tech leader take over 10 more floors in the Rubinstein Twin Towers (also known as TOU Towers) in Tel Aviv. The expansion brings its total footprint in the building to 18 floors—more than half of the 34-story tower—and adds over 22,000 square meters of office space.
The long-term lease, valued at approximately 100 million shekels (around $27.7 million), was first reported by Calcalist, which noted that the newly added space will include around 1,200 workstations. Nvidia expects the new offices to be ready for use by late 2025.
This move reflects Nvidia’s growing reliance on Israel as a key center for innovation. With around 4,500 employees in the country, Israel now hosts the company’s largest R&D hub outside the United States. Its Tel Aviv site is second in size only to its Yokneam campus, built on the former headquarters of Mellanox Technologies—a company Nvidia acquired in 2020 for $7 billion. Additional offices operate in Ra’anana, Tel Hai, and Be’er Sheva, near Ben-Gurion University.
Unlike many global tech firms that have pushed employees back to the office, Nvidia continues to support a flexible work model. Still, the company is investing heavily in physical infrastructure. The Tel Aviv expansion will include on-site food services provided by the Machneyuda Group, led by celebrated chef Asaf Granit, continuing a tradition from its existing offices.
The newly leased floors became available after Google backed out of a previous agreement to occupy the same space. According to Calcalist, Google never moved in following its lease signing several years ago and has instead committed to a significantly larger office project nearby in the TOHA2 tower, which is still under construction.
Amit Krig, Nvidia’s Senior Vice President for Networking Software and head of the company’s Israeli operations, oversees the growing local team. The firm is currently hiring for approximately 150 open roles across its Israeli locations, with job openings spanning artificial intelligence, chip architecture, and infrastructure development.
Nvidia’s Tel Aviv expansion reinforces Israel’s strategic importance in the global tech landscape—particularly in the race to lead the future of AI.
