Garden Plaza, Istanbul
170 m / 44 floors
construction end: 2010

Another interesting skyscraper is set to join Istanbul's dynamic skyline as renowned German firm Bothe Richter Teherani Architekten revealed the design of "Garden Tower" which immediately became one of the favourite new projects among enthusiasts of contemporary architecture in the city.

The oval-shaped building gets its name from the multi-level gardens that embellish the front façade facing Büyükdere Avenue.

Garden Tower will have a total of 52 floors, 44 of which will rise above ground level in one of the most prominent spots of Levent financial district. Unlike other projects in Levent which usually bring together a residential or office tower and a retail facility dedicated to top fashion brands, the subterranean retail section of Garden Tower will mostly emphasize on international "gourmet restaurants" and "cafés". The tower will also have a 1,000-person congress center, cinemas, a fitness center, spa and a multi-storey parking facility. Residential flats will have sizes ranging between 80 and 350 m².

Sales of the project started in September 2006, construction works will start in July 2007 and the opening date is scheduled as July 2010.

This one has to be built

without any doubt, love the design!

Funny shape. I like it! Am I wrong, or it'll be built in Levent?

Its more Gayrettepe which is south Levent. So yes, it will be in Levent. Just not in the dense cluster

BTW, the problem with tis project is a "child" reaction by the investor
allowed m² is the main problem
City says: 18.195m² x 3 = 54.585m²

But projects m² is 112.000m²
Although its the old plot of the never built Imar Plaza (420m)

So the investor said that the plot will stay empty till they get the permission
