Istanbul’s evocative skyline is set to be capped by a new peak, as architects on Wednesday unveiled plans to build a tower almost 300 meters high, which will rival the highest buildings in Europe.
Scotland-based architectural firm RMJM’s office in Dubai said that it received planning approval for “Metropol Istanbul,” a vast 500,000 square meter project, which includes three towers, a 30,000 square meter public shopping mall, offices and luxury apartments.

good thing this particular one is outside of city's dreamy silhouette. there are tons of projects of this nature going on in istanbul as we speak. i addressed the problems they deliver in an article that roughly translates as "master plan worlds." a lot of large corporate firms are having a field day there.
a little more talked about here.
This is all RMJM does, isn't it? Very big crap?
