A new icon adorns Consulate Row in United Nations Plaza.
The Turkevi Center's swooping curves and geometric crescent patterns were designed by Perkins Eastman. This new, 563-foot tall consulate of the Republic of Turkey is a modern architectural interpretation of "Islamic themes and Turkish art and culture".United Glass Metal Yapi engineers and fabrication specialists built the building's iconic glass facade and perforated metal paneling. The consulate will house new passport and visa branch offices, conference rooms, a multi-purpose prayer room, fitness center, auditorium, underground parking, and residential space for staff and visitors.
