In addition to the construction area of approximately 10 thousand square meters, we will have established an area of 20 thousand 30 square meters on the area including the tower and the landscape area around the tower, in addition to the construction area of 150 thousand square meters. Our tower consists of 4 floors, 49 floors underground and we will have panoramic elevators on both sides of the tower. These elevators will also have a speed of 2,5 to 3 meters per second. We have shared with you before, there will be viewing terraces on 2 floors of our tower. One of them is on the 33rd floor and the other is on the 34th floor. We will have two view terraces at 148,5 meters above ground and 153 meters above ground level. ”

Starting from the top while making the outer cladding, the ring-shaped construction that is currently wrapped around the tower consists of 4 floors. We will make these 4 floors as K1 blocks, and we will move it all up, to the top, and as we mount it on the hill, there are steel plates on our current concrete blocks. When we move this construction up, we will assemble it to those steel plates and then move on to the next block. It is a K3 block consisting of 2 floors. We will also make it like a bracelet around the tower below and pull it up and install it on the K1 block.
Then again, the K4 block consisting of 3 floors… When we finally call the K4 block and the 5-storey block above, we will complete that image that provides the perimeter of our tower. Then, fine workmanship and works will end this year, I hope. Our goal is to finish the whole of this year and serve our radios and televisions from here, by removing other antennas and getting rid of visual pollution. ”

You cannot go to the next stage without finishing a job. So we have no chance to say 'Let's do many things at the same time'. So we do it patiently and with care. Because we are building a structure that will serve Istanbul for at least a century. Therefore, we do not take any risks. We have no luxury to overlook anything. We really do it carefully and I hope we will have put it into service this year. ” spoke in the form.
