I think it looks pretty good. Better than some other European buildings of similar height. The whole complex looks pretty good. When you are driving towards it, it appears quite majestic.
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.

They are building it quite fast. I've seen smaller buildings which take significantly longer.
From yesterday. Photographs taken by cancan-izmir, source.




And another bonus photograph below. Istanbul's "Empire State Building" rising, seen on the left. Source.

for some reason, this building in Istanbul reminds me bank of america plaza atlanta :love:

Did you guys hear about that earthquake in Turkey? Was CBRT affected by it at all?

@TayfunVural, @Edil Arda, pardon me for the off topic question: is there a thread about these buildings in Gaziantep?

No the earthquake happened at the other end of the country. Istanbul was not affected.
🙏 for Turkey
Appearing even taller from this angle of view. Source.

I like these 4 roofs around the main building. it looks a castle. :love:
so that devastating earthquake didn't really affect this city? I'm sure they felt it though...

Why would they feel it? When an earthquake happens in LA you don't feel it in New York City
