SHCA were invited by ACTEEUM Group to develop a 105,000 sq m (1,130,220 sq ft) mixed use concept design for a major retail centre located on a prominent hill top location in Goztepe district on the Anatolian side of Istanbul.
The site for the new retail complex, is strategically located in a prime elevated position adjacent to one of Istanbul's main arterial roads, and will be linked to a new metro station and bus terminus. The development sits in the centre of the Anatolian Istanbul and consequently will become the major retail destination of choice for a potential 14 million visitors per year.

The new centre will incorporate a large number of high quality, brand leading Turkish and International retailers, plus superior leisure facilities including a multi complex cinema, a food court and restaurants. The development will also include a grade A office tower and high quality residential apartments.

The central atrium, linking all levels of the building, will provide an oasis for shoppers that will feature a cascading water feature flowing into a lagoon with fountains and generous planting. Above, an arrangement of striking circular glazed canopies, varying in height, will assist in maintaining a temperate environment.

The project, currently under development by ACTEEUM Group for Atrium European Land will not only form an important landmark development on the Anatolian side of Istanbul, but will also create a distinctive visual link between Asia and Europe.
