Taksim 360

Urban Renewal in the Heart of Beyoğlu

Taksim 360, developed by GAP İnşaat, a Çalık Holding company, in partnership with Beyoğlu Municipality, is described by its developer as Türkiye's first and largest public-private partnership urban renewal project. Spanning 20,000 m² in the heart of Taksim, in the Beyoğlu district of Istanbul, this exclusive complex offers a unique blend of residential, commercial and hospitality spaces, rebuilt and restored across a historic quarter rather than laid out on a cleared plot. According to the developer, the masterplan runs to 825 independent units in total across nine city blocks: 558 residences (classified as tourism residences, of roughly 46 to 370 m²), 122 offices plus nine standalone office buildings, about 135 commercial units and a hotel. The project is designed for those seeking a dynamic lifestyle in a prime location. Featuring the 110-room Canopy by Hilton Istanbul Taksim hotel, modern offices and luxury residences, Taksim 360 represents a rare opportunity for owners and investors. The scheme has been delivered in phases: the first office blocks were handed over with title deeds in March 2019, and the Canopy by Hilton hotel opened at the turn of 2025-26. Completion and title-deed status are checked unit by unit.

Location & Connectivity

The address is a two-minute walk from the bustling İstiklal Street and close to Nişantaşı, Galata Port and Beşiktaş. Taksim Square is the hinge of the European side's transport network: the M2 metro runs from Taksim and Şişhane south to Yenikapı and north to Levent and Maslak, the F1 funicular drops to Kabataş for the T1 tram and Bosphorus ferries, and the historic Tünel and nostalgic tram serve the İstiklal axis. Airport journeys use the metro link at Gayrettepe or the coastal road. Galatasaray University, Mimar Sinan Fine Arts University and Istanbul Technical University's Taşkışla campus are all within walking distance, alongside major hospitals, the Demirören centre and the theatres, galleries and restaurants that define Beyoğlu.

Homes & Amenities

Residences range from studios and 1+1 flats through to 2+1, 3+1 and 4+1 homes, with offices and commercial units in the same masterplan, so an owner can choose a compact pied-a-terre or a full family apartment on one street. Restored historic facades conceal contemporary interiors, lifts and parking, which is unusual in a district of nineteenth-century buildings. With 24/7 security, private parking and premium office space, the project is ideal for both professionals and families, and equally for owners who want a lock-up-and-leave base in central Istanbul.

Investment Potential

Central Beyoğlu has a finite supply of modern, fully compliant housing, which is exactly what an urban renewal scheme creates, and restored stock with lifts, parking and hotel-grade management commands a premium over the untouched buildings around it. The tenant base is unusually broad, spanning professionals, academics, creative-sector staff and long-stay visitors, while the offices and commercial units let an owner diversify income within one development. Values along the İstiklal corridor are supported by scarcity rather than new supply.

Turkish Citizenship by Investment

• A purchase in this project can support a Turkish citizenship application only if the specific property meets the legal conditions: an official valuation report of at least USD 400,000, payment through the Turkish banking system, a three-year no-sale annotation on the title deed and a seller who is not a foreign national.
• Eligibility depends on the individual unit and the transaction, so it is confirmed case by case and cannot be assumed for the project as a whole. As your broker, we check these points for the property you are considering. Our guide to Turkish citizenship by investment explains the full process.
