Erhan added this project

Istanbul Sapphire, or Sapphire, is a skyscraper, and tallest building of Istanbul's Levent main business district and the second tallest building in Istanbul and Turkey, after the Diamond of Istanbul located in the nearby Maslak business district) when completed in June 2009. It is the country's first ecological skyscraper. Sapphire rises 54 floors above ground level having an above-ground roof height of 238 meters (and a structural height of 261 meters including its spire, which is part of the design and not a radio antenna, and is therefore counted as a part of the overall structural height of the building.)

Sapphire Istanbul is the luxury residence project of Biskon Construction (a subsidiary of the Kiler group of companies). It is strategically located close to the TEM and O1 main road arteries and the Bosphorus and F.S.M. bridges, has a direct access to the subway from its 3rd basement floor, and is situated on Büyükdere Avenue, one of Istanbul's main thoroughways, in the middle of the city's central Beşiktaş, Etiler and Şişli districts.

Istanbul Sapphire has been designed by Tabanlıoğlu Architecture as a high-tech structure that consists of 64 floors (54 above-ground and 10 basement floors), communal living floors, extensive parking spaces, a large shopping mall, and 47 floors for residences.
