Diamond of Istanbul

Diamond of Istanbul, Skyscraper in Maslak district, Turkey.

The Diamond of Istanbul is a 311-meter tall tower with 53 floors above ground and 8 basement levels in the Maslak business district. Its structure comprises three steel wings connected to a concrete core.

The project began in 2002 with the demolition of a nine-floor office building, launching Turkey's first steel skyscraper project. This development set new construction standards for the country.

The structure houses offices, a hotel, and apartments that serve the daily needs of business professionals and residents in Istanbul's financial center.

The building uses cogeneration technology to produce its own energy and features a double facade for natural ventilation. Visitors benefit from good accessibility and modern facilities.

The engineering incorporates specific wind resistance measures to ensure stability at this height. Such technical solutions are critical for structures of this scale.
