Its total height will be 369 meters from the ground. As of today, we have completed the 221-meter concrete parts completely, and we have manufactured the 165-meter steel antenna section that will come on it in 12 pieces. Each piece is pulled up and the other piece is added to it.
After the welding of all 12 pieces is finished inside, we will pull it up again, we will assemble it on the concrete tower completely. Finally, we will mount a steel assembly that carries 23,5 meters of final antennas on it, so that we will have an altitude of 369 meters. We will make a dress with a tulip motif, which is the symbol of Istanbul, coming from the Ottoman times to the present around the concrete parts.

We made our orders from abroad, the process of manufacturing, arriving and placing them has been completed.
Transmitters and combiners also arrived. As the steel construction is finished, we will assemble them inside. Then, when the 10-day testing process is over, we will have installed transmitters where they can broadcast to 80 radios. We conduct this together with RTÜK. Once RTÜK completes its processes for digital broadcasting, we are preparing the infrastructure for this place to be suitable for digital broadcasting as well. When RTÜK finishes its digital publishing operations in the future, broadcasting can be made here with much higher quality and efficiency since the infrastructure here will also be suitable for digital broadcasting. ”
