This means that sky-cratperson companies are utilised as holding, banks, hotels, shopping centres, offices, hospitals and residencies in Istanbul which has acquired the title of Europe’s highest city.

Metropol, located in Atasehir, has cost an incredible 800 million dollars to develop. The British architecture company RMJM built the monument that covers 58 stories and reaches a height of 280 metres.

The Sapphire building is the twelfth highest structure in Europe, and it is located at 261 m, five floors above and ten under it.
