Map Location
Mixed-use urban regeneration
The district made famous by Topkapi Palace, to the west of central Istanbul, has a large component of post-industrial areas used for auto repairs, and rundown streets. Investment in urban regeneration will turn the suburb into an attractive location with shopping streets, offices, a five-star hotel and residences and a lifestyle centre, integrated with beautiful landscaping, including a new public park, to create a major new attraction in this historic part of Istanbul. A perfect complement to the major residential community at the heart of the masterplan.
Easily accessible destination
Set in a superb location to the west of central Istanbul with direct access to the major E5 highway, Topkapı 29 will have further transportation links to the West with a new metro station.
Innovative architectural solutions
A two-level retail street provides active frontage to the south of the project and wraps around the central residential community. By making use of the level changes the retail street creates two ground levels sinuously flowing from the Metro Plaza in the west to the lifestyle centre in the east. The curved forms of the street podium provide a balanced and visually dynamic contrast to the more rectilinear forms of the residential buildings above. A wide variety of beautifully landscaped urban spaces result from the forms of the buildings, including a series of event plazas.
Multi-experience lifestyle centre
Facing out onto the new public park to the east of the masterplan and connected directly to the shopping street is the vibrant lifestyle centre. This unique multi-function mixed-use destination has a 'U' shaped covered street which leads to a multi-level event plaza. The central building contains a diverse array of boutique shopping, markets, restaurants and leisure facilities, which acts as a podium for the office, residential and hospitality buildings.
