what is the height without spire? 
The earlier photograph and video (from December of last year) showing cementing of the foundation plate of the skyscraper, to be the tallest in Turkey.

I'm just impressed how big this construction site is. This wil be a nice cluster of towers.
Didn't realize Istanbul was becoming such a skyscraper city, this project is huge!
What happened to the x-men tower? That looked better IMO. Too bad
i prefer the new design a lot more.
What a nice picture, it's a chinese-scale project!
The previous design by German architectural firm, HPP Architekten GmbH.

The old design is more elegant and refined, the new one seems a bit gaudy but much more interesting. So, I will have to say I am glad this design is getting built, even though I like the other design better.
It reminds me of this project in Lanzhou. I love this kind of design, the low rise part of the new rendering also looks much better than the older one

Funny how this escaped my radar. Turkey's Empire State building, a perfect balance between bulkiness and height. Probably among the top 5 skyscrapers ever built in Turkey. IMO Istanbul can handle one or two above the 350m mark one also exceeding 400m. Excellent.
I love this design, I really miss good quality Empire state's style buildings.
I am also disappointed, the previous design was better 😭
by the way, Turkey should also have some barrel shape building beside square shape buildings

Here is one, "Elite World Hotel Istanbul Europe", 27 floors. You can not get more barrel shaped than this
