A Masterpiece of Architecture and Investment

In the heart of vibrant Istanbul, along the historic shores of the Golden Horn, stands Tersane Istanbul—one of the largest mixed-use real estate developments in Turkey. This grand project is built on a site with over 600 years of history, once used as an Ottoman shipyard, adding a rare and irreplaceable cultural legacy to its foundation.

Today, this historic location is being revived through a modern architectural vision, managed by the world-renowned Rixos Hotels group, known for its luxurious hospitality experiences. Tersane Istanbul seamlessly blends the charm of heritage with contemporary elegance, featuring restored historical structures alongside state-of-the-art hotels, residences, commercial spaces, and cultural centers.

More than just a residential or commercial hub, Tersane Istanbul is a comprehensive lifestyle and investment destination, and an ideal opportunity for those seeking Turkish citizenship through real estate ownership. Thanks to its prime waterfront location and proximity to Istanbul’s most iconic landmarks, it offers an exceptional investment opportunity.

A Strategic Location Like No Other

Situated directly on the Golden Horn (Halic)—a natural harbor and one of Istanbul’s most iconic geographic and historical features—Tersane Istanbul revives a location that once served as the heart of the Ottoman naval industry.

The project lies within the boundaries of Beyoğlu, one of Istanbul’s oldest and most culturally vibrant districts. Home to countless historical sites, museums, art galleries, theaters, and cultural centers, Beyoğlu reflects both the soul of old Istanbul and the dynamism of the modern city.

Key landmarks just minutes away include:

• Taksim Square – the city’s cultural and social epicenter.
• Galata Tower – one of the oldest towers in the world with panoramic city views.
• Sultanahmet – home to the Blue Mosque, Hagia Sophia, and Topkapi Palace.

In addition, the area enjoys excellent public transportation access, including metro, tram, and ferry services, providing exceptional connectivity.

This strategic location offers not only an upscale lifestyle but also ensures long-term property value appreciation, making it ideal for both living and investment.
