This project, situated in Tuzla, Istanbul, brings together healthcare, office, residential, and retail programs in a dynamic mixed-use development.

Positioned next to a tram stop and surrounded by recently built housing complexes, the project aims to reestablish the mall as the focal point of the area, redefining its identity as a vibrant urban focal point.​

With its elongated form and expressive frontage, the building acts as a contemporary threshold—inviting the energy of the city inward while offering the community a new focal point for commerce, interaction, and identity.
