Isbank Tower 1, Skyscraper in Levent district, Istanbul, Turkey.

Isbank Tower 1 is a 52-story skyscraper in Istanbul's Levent district that reaches 181 meters high. The building combines Art Deco and postmodern architectural styles through its glass and metal facades, making it one of the most recognizable structures in the city's financial core.

Completed between 1996 and 2000, the structure held the title of Turkey's tallest building until 2010. Its completion reshaped the financial district's skyline and marked a turning point in Istanbul's modern architectural story.

The complex houses an art gallery, theater hall, and concert venue that serve as cultural spaces in Istanbul's financial district. These venues regularly host exhibitions and performances that draw locals and visitors to the building.

The tower sits near Levent metro station on Buyukdere Avenue and is easily accessible by public transportation. The building features 46 elevators operating at different speeds to handle the daily flow of over 3,000 employees.

The building was designed by the same architecture firm that created Trump Tower in New York. This connection shows how international design standards found their way into Istanbul's skyline.
