The new millennium initiated a wave of urban transformation
in our major big cities. Istanbul, as the foremost center of this
transformation, became bigger in time with its new settlements and
subway lines that transform "once in outskirts" neighborhoods into
new metropolitan centers. Parallel to this, financial and social
life of the city created new demands and need for new concepts.
Tekfen founded its Real Estate Development Group in 2000, in order
to cater to these needs, primarily with the development of the Group's
own properties.
Tekfen Real Estate Development Group develops and
undertakes turnkey projects of superior design and construction
quality in all aspects of the real estate business, such as concept
work, realization, market research, marketing and facility management.
The group offers concept design, technical and financial feasibility
works, design development, market research and turnkey project management,
marketing and facility management services in its service portfolio.
Akmerkez, Tekfen Tower and Taksim Residences are
projects that demonstrate the Group's approach to the real estate
development business. Apart from high-end boutique and niche projects,
the Group also targets to create housing projects for middle and
higher income groups, within the urban transformation projects that
develop the shanty areas and abandoned industrial districts into
residential and tourism areas.

Istanbul's most sought-after addresses bear Tekfen's signature
|
Akmerkez, recipient of many national and
international awards, is one of the most successful real estate
developments undertaken in Turkey to date. Tekfen owns a third
of this shopping mall, office and residential complex and
is also involved in its management.
Tekfen Tower, a 26 storey office building
equipped with superior technology, was built on the land of
Tekfen's old light bulb factory in Levent. Tekfen Tower's
office space was completely rented out, shortly after it became
operational in the fall of 2003. Tekfen Services who undertook
the management of Tekfen Tower, acts beyond traditional facility
management concept and apart from providing services for daily
needs of about more that 2000 employees, also organizes seminars,
forums, concerts and related activities.
The ISO 9001:2000 quality assurance certificate
awarded to Tekfen Real Estate Development Group has been expanded
in 2004 to cover the facility management services as well,
provided by Tekfen Services.
Taksim Residences Project is based on the
restoration of a historical building while preserving its
unique architectural features and two new buildings accordingly
designed next to it. Taksim Residences, situated between Taksim
and Nisantasi, Istanbul's downtown and shopping area respectively,
is regarded as the most prestigious residential complex of
Istanbul.

Another demonstration
of Tekfen Real Estate Development Group's commitment to Istanbul's
historical heritage is its support to the Museum Project of
the History Foundation. The Group has undertaken the restoration
and decoration works of one of the buildings in the Imperial
Mint complex of Topkapi Palace, which also serve as the Foundation's
offices.
Tekfen Real Estate Development Group will
continue creating "values", with its superior construction
quality and its ability to reach competitive investment opportunities
in central districts. |
