About Torun Center
Torun Center is a finished address in Mecidiyeköy, the business centre of Şişli on the European side of Istanbul. Three towers stand together on one landscaped plot: an office tower and two residence towers, with garden offices at their feet.
The buildings are built and the residences are ready to move, which means you choose an apartment you can walk through today rather than a drawing of one. The developer's own valuation filing records the plot at 33,615.15 m² on Büyükdere Caddesi, and the project's catalogue puts the two residence towers at 42 storeys beside a 36 storey office block.
It was built by Torunlar REIC and designed, the project's catalogue states, by the architect Emre Arolat. Torunlar REIC's own residence page publishes the apartments as 1+1 to 4+1 and 100 to 425 square metres, so the range runs from a compact city apartment to a family floor.
What you get at street level is the part photographs show best: a residents' club, a swimming pool and a gym set in gardens at the foot of the towers, with the whole of central Istanbul beginning at the gate.
Location & Connectivity
Mecidiyeköy is the centre of Istanbul in the working sense of the word, and Torun Center stands on Büyükdere Caddesi in Şişli, the avenue the city's business district is built along.
The Mecidiyeköy metro and metrobüs stops are close enough that the project's own catalogue calls them walking distance, though it prints no figure for the walk. We will not invent one. Ask us and we will time the walk for you before you visit.
For everything else the catalogue gives its distances in kilometres, and we carry them exactly as it prints them. Nişantaşı, Kanyon and Zorlu Center sit together on one 2.5 km line. Taksim is 5 km, İstinyePark 9 km, Mall of İstanbul 20 km and Atatürk Airport 20 km, and İstanbul Airport 34 km.
That is the shape of the address: the shops of Nişantaşı and two of the city's best known malls within a few kilometres, the historic centre at Taksim a short run away, and both airports reachable without leaving the motorway network the towers sit beside.

What you are buying
The building
How Torun Center is laid out, how it is built, and what living there includes.
Residences & Layouts
There is a layout here for a couple who want the centre of the city and one for a family that needs four bedrooms in it. The residences run 1+1, 2+1, 3+1 and 4+1, the four layouts the project's own apartment plan sheets are drawn for and the same four the developer's residence page names.
Torunlar REIC publishes the sizes as 100 to 425 square metres. Across the seventeen plan sheets held for this project there are five 1+1 types, six 2+1, three 3+1 and three 4+1, so within each layout there is usually more than one shape of apartment to compare.
Every apartment has central heating with a room-by-room VRV cooling system, so each room is set on its own rather than the whole apartment on one thermostat. The residences keep their own private entrances and security points, separate from the offices, with controlled access and CCTV.
One thing we will not state for you until it is confirmed: the marketing agency's price card also lists a penthouse type, and the developer's own page does not name it. If a penthouse is what you are looking for, ask us and we will confirm with the developer whether one is available before we quote anything.
1+12+13+14+1100–425 m²
Amenities & Lifestyle
The social heart of Torun Center is a 600 m² social club area and a 3,000 m² health club, with a semi-Olympic swimming pool and a sunbathing and relaxing terrace beside it. That is a serious pool rather than a token one, and it sits in the gardens at the foot of the towers.
Above the club there is a two-storey residents' lounge with a dining and drinking area, a party room and a private dining room, so a birthday or a family dinner does not have to happen in your living room. There is a kids club for the children, a library for the quiet hours, and cafés for the hours in between.
The service is the other half of living here. A 24/7 concierge service, valet parking and housekeeping, technical and emergency services run in the building, and residents park indoors. Entrances and security points for the residences are separate from the office side, with controlled access and CCTV throughout.

Investment & Turkish Citizenship
Start with what the price actually is. The marketing agency's price card for Torun Center spans $1,584,000 to $7,389,000 across the types it was allocated, with 50% down and the balance over eighteen months. That card is a third-party document and carries no date, so we treat it as a starting point and confirm the price of a named apartment with Torunlar REIC before you commit to anything.
Buying here is buying something finished. The apartments are ready to move, so what you are agreeing on is a specific apartment on a specific floor, at a price you can check against what you have walked through, and not a delivery date.
Turkish citizenship by investment is decided on the appraised value of the apartment you buy, not on the figure written on the invoice, and it comes with a commitment to hold the Tapu (title deed) for three years before selling. Whether a particular apartment at Torun Center reaches the threshold is a question we answer in writing, on a named apartment, before anything is signed. We check it for you. We never promise it in advance.
If you want to see it, tell us the layout and the budget and we will come back with what is available in the two residence towers on the day you ask.
