Skyland İstanbul is a prominent mixed-use complex located in the Huzur neighborhood of the Sarıyer district in Istanbul, Turkey. The complex consists of the Skyland Residence Tower (284 m / 65 floors), Skyland Office Tower (284 m / 64 floors), and the shorter Skyland Hotel Tower (180 m / 28 floors). The innovative designs were conceptualized by Peter Vaughan of Broadway Malyan.
In 2023, the Skyland Residence and Skyland Office towers rank as the third and fourth tallest skyscrapers in Istanbul, standing at a commanding height of 284m (932feet). They are surpassed in height by the 352m (1,155feet) Turkish Central Bank Tower in the Ataşehir district, and the Metropol Istanbul Tower A which rises to 301 metres inclusive of its dual spires.
Initiated in 2012, the Skyland İstanbul project, with a substantial investment of US$700 million, showcases 830 luxurious residences, 504 state-of-the-art office spaces, and a five-star international hotel encompassing 300 rooms and a grand conference hall with a 550-seat capacity.
The conceptualization of Skyland İstanbul can be traced back to the late 2000s, when Istanbul's growing influence as an international business and tourism hub necessitated the development of state-of-the-art architectural marvels. Conceived as a symbol of modernity and progress, the project saw its groundbreaking in 2012 following collaboration with international architectural firms.[1]
Designed by Peter Vaughan of Broadway Malyan, the towers showcase a fusion of Istanbul's rich heritage and contemporary design elements. The façade, made of reflective glass, is meant to mirror the city's vibrant energy, while the interior design reflects traditional Turkish motifs reimagined for the 21st century.[2]
Skyland İstanbul's facilities include:
The $700 million investment in Skyland İstanbul revitalized the local economy, attracting both domestic and international investors. Its construction generated thousands of jobs and, post-completion, it has become a hub for international conferences and summits, further bolstering Istanbul's status as a global city.[4]
Aside from its architectural significance, Skyland İstanbul has also graced the silver screen. It was notably the setting for a key scene in the blockbuster movie "Eurasian Heist."[5]
