Matrix stated that the new tower will unite several of the company’s active branches, which currently work from different locations in Israel, and the company’s headquarters, which is currently located in Herzliya Pituach near road number 2. At the same time, other offices that the company has in several locations throughout the country will continue to work as usual.
Also, Matrix will continue to work according to the hybrid method, and Globes was told that the new offices will unite the company’s branches that have worked so far in Hod Hasharon, in Tel Aviv in Rosh Ha’Ain and in Lod, including the headquarters that was previously located in Herzliya Pituach. The transition is expected to take place in the last quarter of 2023.
“With the move to the new building next year, we will complete the streamlining process in real estate that we started during the Corona epidemic,” the company said.
The tower is in the O-TECH high-tech complex in Kfar Saba, which was established by the Oshira company with a total investment of about one billion shekels and includes three office buildings as well as a recreation, shopping and dining center with a total area of about 100 thousand square meters plus parking areas. The complex has a total area of 52 thousand square meters, and it was designed by Oka Architects.

We have carefully chosen to emphasize offices and co-working spaces, alongside a variety of services and benefits provided to employees, to allow each and every one of them the necessary scope of action in order to succeed and grow.
“We are excited for the move and the start of operations in the new building. With the move to the new building next year, we will complete the streamlining process in real estate that we started during the Corona epidemic. As part of the transition, we will release offices in Hod Hasharon, Herzliya, Tel Aviv, Rosh Ha’Ain and Lod, and will allow very convenient transportation access compared to our current locations.
