As such, it only has 17 floors. Now Israel's twelfth-tallest building, upon completion it was the country's second-tallest building. It was designed by ASSA Architects. Marganit Tower is slanted 28 centimetres (11 in) to the right-hand side, a fact that was discovered in the middle of construction on April 5, 1989.

It received its current name following the 7 October 2023 Hamas-led attack on Israel, when families of the hostages and their supporters started to encamp and gather there, given its proximity to the Israel Defense Forces headquarters. The Square features art installations and banners highlighting the plight of the hostages and calling for their release. One of the art pieces is a empty dinner table that held an empty seat for each of the missing hostages.On 25 November, some 100,000 people rallied at Hostages Square to mark "50 Days of Hell" since the Hamas assault and hostage-taking. In early December 2023 thousands of people gathered at the square to demand the return of the hostages that were taken.

The station building is located above the platforms, with entrances on the north side of HaShalom Road and via a bridge connected to the Azrieli Center mall. Exit-only stairways were opened in 2008 to provide direct access to bus stops on the southern side of HaShalom Road. In February 2021 Israel Railways completed the construction of a second passenger terminal building located on the southern side of HaShalom road, opposite from the existing passenger building. Electronic boards display the timetable in the station building, on the platforms, and in the shopping mall. Electrification works in the station were completed in 2020. An additional side platform and fourth track are expected to be added to the station in the mid-2020s as part of the project to add a fourth track to the Ayalon Railway.
