FLAMBOYANT millionaire mobile phone salesman John Ilhan has ordered a city apartment building be built in the shape of a mobile phone.
The owner of the Crazy John's empire wants a 34-storey building in City Rd, South Melbourne, to become a monument to his billion-dollar business.
Boasting all the cosmetic features of a mobile phone, the 166-apartment building's exterior could feature numbers, "end" and "send" buttons as well as a rooftop antenna.
Permits have been granted for a 110m building, but Mr Ilhan wants to alter the plans to incorporate his radical idea.
The property houses Mr Ilhan's corporate headquarters and includes a giant billboard featuring the distinctive balding head and crazed features of the company's mascot.
