LOCATION & TRANSPORT
Where Zorlu Center Is and How to Get There
Zorlu Center stands in the Levazım neighbourhood of Beşiktaş, at the junction of the European approach to the Bosphorus Bridge and Barbaros Boulevard. The complex opened in 2013 and was designed by Emre Arolat Architects and Tabanlıoğlu Architects.
The centre's own visitor information describes it as within walking distance of Levazım and Zincirlikuyu, with a tunnel connection to the Metrobus and the metro; Gayrettepe is the nearest stop on the M2 line. For tenants whose offices are on the Büyükdere business corridor in Zincirlikuyu, Levent or Maslak, this location is often the starting point of the search.
Etiler, Nişantaşı and the Bosphorus shoreline at Ortaköy are close by. For a wider view of the district, see our guides to prime residential real estate in Beşiktaş and prime residences on Büyükdere and Nisbetiye avenues.
THE PROJECT
Residences, Services and the Mixed-Use Campus
Zorlu Center brings residences, offices, a shopping mall with more than 200 shops, the five-star Raffles Istanbul hotel and Zorlu PSM, described as the largest performing arts centre in Turkey, together on a single campus. Residents therefore have shopping, dining, culture and hotel services within the same complex.
For residents, the developer lists four outdoor and one indoor swimming pool reserved for residents, a large gym, green running and walking tracks, a wine cellar, storage areas, parking spaces matched to the number of rooms and concierge services.
