nice building and cool city..
261m, nice,, almost same tall with Wisma46 in Jakarta 264m:lol:

Saphire is so tall and elegant. The city skyline benefits much from it. Congratulations Istanbul!

i like it

looks like we have to wait for the spires.
Vey slow

Spire is already built on left hand side of the building.

but shorter as on the renderings

The last pic is terrific :)

I don't wanna imagine the traffic jam on the way to Levent after Sapphire is inaugurated. It's already a mess.

Wow, finally some interior and observation deck pics ! WOW! Must be one of the greatest addresses in the world.

Wow..... :eek:

Wow. The interior looks pretty much occupied. Why is there still a towercrane?

I thnik its for the helipad and the spire

A new modern attraction for Istanbul :cheers:

Büyükdere Avenue will look like Sheih Zayed Road ( Dubai ) in some years with taller skyscrapers :cheers:

beautiful tower

Very good!:okay:

I'd slide on the glasses of the lower part:D

IMO they changed the "design"
Instead of a spire they added an antenna.
So off. height must be around 242m

:ohno:
they should count either both - antenna and spire - or none of them, IMO.

sapphire is one sexy beast!

Awesome building... elegant and quite tall
