Like in all four railway stations in Tel Aviv, the railway tracks are located between the southbound and northbound lanes of the Ayalon Highway. The station was originally built with two side platforms, separated by two tracks. On September 2, 2006 a third track was opened on the eastern side of platform 2 and the platform was widened, creating the island platform 2–3. The station building is located above the platforms and has two entrances: a primary entrance from HaShalom Road and a secondary one, a bridge connected directly to the Azrieli shopping mall. New exit-only stairways were opened in 2008, allowing to climb from the platforms directly to the southern side of HaShalom Road. This new exit considerably shortened the walking distance to the eastbound bus stops.

Israel Railways is currently performing complex construction works at the station in order to improve customer services, adding a new entrance and exit directly from the southern side of HaShalom Road, and adding a parking area for two-wheeled vehicles on the bridge. The works include erecting two steel structures 6.4m high, 60m long, with an overall weight of 560 tons; they will be the base for the southern terminal floor.[1]

Electronic boards display the timetable in the station building and in the Azrieli shopping mall. Electronic boards also exist on platforms 1 and 2 and display the next two trains departing from each platform.

Electrification works in the station were completed on 5 April 2020.

An additional side-platform and fourth track is expected to be added to the station in the mid-2020s as part of the four-tracking project of the Ayalon Railway.
