The Boulevardi mall will have over 400 stores, a range of food outlets and leisure attractions including a discovery centre, underwater zoo, family entertainment complex, ice skating rink and movie theatre.
“The Boulevardi development is situated in one of the most sought after residential locations in the city. The project will be a catalyst for further growth on the Anatolian side as a result of several financial organisations moving in following the relocation of
Turkey’s Central Bank in the vicinity,” said Ozan Balaban, general manager of Emaar Turkey.
The project is Emaar’s second project in the area, following on from the popularity of its Tuscan Valley project, which attracted high interest.
Completed in June 2012 in the western part of Istanbul, the second phase will include villas with gardens and terraces and the Tuscan Shopping Arcade, which will include 25 stores and approximately 3,700 square meters of rentable commercial space.
