The Cevahir high rise complex in the Skopje municipality of Aerodrom has topped out. The construction of the top and final floor of one of the towers has reached completion with other other tower to follow in the next few days.

The 42 story buildings will be the tallest in the Balkans of their kind with a total height of 136m without the antenna.

The construction of the towers began in 2011 with the construction of the towers being completed much sooner than expected.

The Cevahir complex includes another two equally tall towers which will begin construction immediately after the first two and an entertainment/shopping complex connecting the four towers. The towers will be used for residential purposes.

The investment of Turkish Cevahir is estimated at more than 500m Euro and is set to be completed in 2016 at the latest.

Apartments for the first two towers go on sale as of early August and the settlement of the first two towers is expected to happen in around one year.
