İstanbloom

A 45-Floor Residential Tower in Zincirlikuyu

İstanbloom is a residential tower with office floors on Kore Şehitleri Caddesi in Zincirlikuyu, in the Esentepe neighbourhood of Şişli, Istanbul. It was developed by Esin Yapı, with an investment arm of Globe International AG as co-investor, and designed by DBArchitects, with Bünyamin Derman as designer. Interior design is credited to Mahmut Anlar of Geomim and landscape design to Spiga Peyzaj.

According to the developer, the tower opened in 2015 and has 45 floors: 35 residential floors, one penthouse floor and three office floors, with 170 residences in total. Other published figures differ slightly, with 46 storeys and 165 residences often quoted. The architect gives a total construction area of 79,571 m².

Location and Transport

Zincirlikuyu sits where Büyükdere Caddesi, the city's main business axis, meets the approach to the 15 July Martyrs Bridge across the Bosphorus. İstanbloom is on the stretch between Zincirlikuyu, Levent and Maslak, with the office towers of Esentepe and Levent nearby and Maslak further north along the same avenue.

The Zincirlikuyu metrobus stop and the M2 metro line, with stations at Gayrettepe and Levent, are the main public transport links, and Gayrettepe is also the start of the M11 metro line to Istanbul Airport. Zorlu Center is at Zincirlikuyu, and the Kanyon and Metrocity shopping centres are in Levent. From the upper floors, views extend over the city and the Bosphorus.

Homes and Amenities

The developer describes the residences as one- to four-bedroom homes, 1+1 to 4+1 in Turkish notation, and the tower includes single-floor units, duplex lofts and penthouses. Published floor plans run from about 107 m² to 306 m², for example 1+1 units of 107 and 124 m², a 2+1 of 165 m² and a 3+1 of 191 m², with larger layouts above that.

The building was designed to LEED Gold criteria, with about 5,600 m² of green space including gardens on residential floors, and a ventilation system that circulates fresh air through the building. Facilities and services described for the project include:

• an entrance hall with a lounge, plus concierge and lifestyle services
• a spa, a gym and an outdoor swimming pool
• gardens on residential floors and a children's playground
• security and covered parking
• retail and dining space on the lower floors, and A-class office floors

Buying at İstanbloom

İstanbloom suits buyers who want a tower home with city or Bosphorus views close to the Levent and Zincirlikuyu business districts, and investors looking for apartments that appeal to professional tenants.

For anyone considering a unit for sale in the tower, Bosphorus Brokers searches current resale listings, compares asking prices with recent sales in İstanbloom and neighbouring towers, and carries out due diligence on the title deed. For every unit we check ownership, mortgages, the type of title, the building's occupancy permit (iskan) status and any annotations recorded on the deed. We then prepare the contract and see the purchase through to the title deed transfer. A purchase of at least USD 400,000 can qualify for Turkish citizenship by investment, subject to the unit's eligibility.

Bosphorus Brokers is an independent, licensed brokerage. We are not the developer or its sales office, and we act for our client in every transaction.

The tower's location is practical for executives and professionals working in Levent, Esentepe, Zincirlikuyu and Maslak, and for people relocating to Istanbul who want a building with security, parking and on-site facilities. We arrange both furnished and unfurnished long lets.

If you are looking for a residence for rent in İstanbloom, we shortlist suitable units, arrange viewings, check the landlord's ownership, negotiate the terms and prepare the lease. We explain the deposit and the building's management fees, help transfer electricity, water, gas and internet into your name, and stay in touch during the tenancy.

Selling or Letting Your Apartment at İstanbloom

If you own a unit and want to sell or rent out, we start with a valuation based on recent sales and lettings in the tower and nearby buildings, taking account of floor, view, layout and whether the unit is a standard apartment, a duplex loft or a penthouse. We market the property in six languages to buyers and tenants in Turkey and abroad, and accompany every viewing.

We screen prospective buyers and tenants, negotiate on your behalf and prepare the sale or lease contract. For sales, we manage the paperwork through to the title deed transfer; for lettings, we can also handle the inventory, deposit and handover.
