About Pearl Residence Topkapı
One fifteen-floor tower on a 2,000 m² plot in Merkezefendi, Zeytinburnu, with the tram, the metrobus and the bus stops each two minutes' walk from the door.
Pearl Residence Topkapı is a single fifteen-floor residential tower by Irmak Group, on a 2,000 m² plot in Merkezefendi, Zeytinburnu, on the European side of Istanbul. It holds 1+1 and 2+1 apartments above a ground floor of shops.
The address is Mevlana Caddesi, immediately south of the E5 motorway on the stretch that runs between Merter and Cevizlibağ. The tram, the metrobus and the nearest bus stops are each two minutes' walk on the developer's own location sheet.
The project takes its marketing name from Topkapı, which that same sheet puts ten minutes' walk to the north east. The tower itself stands in Zeytinburnu, in Merkezefendi Mahallesi.
What you choose from is narrow and deliberate. Irmak Group publishes five measured plans, two of them 1+1 and three of them 2+1, running from 66.09 m² to 129.27 m² of satılabilir brüt alan (sellable gross area).
- Two layouts and five measured plans: 1+1 and 2+1 apartments from 66.09 m² up to 129.27 m² of sellable gross area, each plan tied to a named floor band.
- Shops at street level under the residences, with open and covered parking, a fitness centre and planted gardens around the tower.
- Two universities within a short walk on the developer's own location sheet: Yeni Yüzyıl at four minutes and İstinye's Topkapı campus at ten.
- Irmak Group publishes the project as suitable for Turkish citizenship by investment, and gives March 2026 as its handover date.
Location & Connectivity
You do not need a car to leave the building. Irmak Group's location sheet, headed "within walking distance", puts the tram two minutes away, the metrobus two minutes and the nearest bus stops two minutes, with the metro at ten.
Two universities sit inside a ten-minute walk. Yeni Yüzyıl University is four minutes and İstinye University's Topkapı campus is ten, with Yıldız Technical University's Davutpaşa campus at fifteen.
Hospitals are close on the same sheet. Koç Hospital is ten minutes on foot and Yedikule Hospital fifteen.
The E5 runs along the northern edge of the site, and Irmak Group's presentation adds a second list of times without saying how they are measured. On that list Fatih is five minutes, Bakırköy's shore and Fişekhane ten, Taksim Square fifteen and Istanbul Airport thirty-five.

Residences & Layouts
Two layouts, five plans, and each plan tied to a named band of floors. That is the whole product here, and it makes the building easy to understand before you visit.
The smaller 1+1 is Type 5, at 66.09 m² gross and 40.18 m² net, on floors ten to fourteen. Its living room is 19.33 m² with a 4.69 m² kitchen along one wall, the bedroom is 11.25 m² and the bathroom 4.91 m².
The larger 1+1 is Type 3 on the fourteenth floor, at 91.46 m² gross and 61.46 m² net. It has a 23.60 m² living room with room for a dining table, a 16.33 m² bedroom, two bathrooms and a 5.26 m² terrace.
The 2+1 range opens with Type 4 at 79.56 m² gross and 47.97 m² net, available on floors one to fourteen. Its kitchen is open to the living room, which is the arrangement the developer calls an American kitchen.
Above that come two much larger 2+1 plans, both with closed kitchens. Type 2 is 129.27 m² gross and 77.74 m² net on floors one to nine, and Types 1, 1a, 1b and 1c are 128.35 m² gross and 77.70 m² net on floors eleven and twelve, with a 3.64 m² balcony.

Amenities & Lifestyle
Park inside the building rather than on the street. Irmak Group's presentation lists both open and covered car parking, and its renders show the covered opening cut into the base of the tower.
There is a fitness centre on site, which the developer describes as having an open outlook, along with gardens and planted areas around the building.
The ground floor is given over to shops, and the developer's renders show what that is meant to feel like. Glazed shopfronts run along two sides of the base, with a raised paved walkway in front of them and a small forecourt of steps, planters and hydrangea beds at the main entrance.
Height is the other thing on offer. The tower rises fifteen floors, the published plans reach a fourteenth-floor apartment, and Irmak Group describes the outlook from the upper levels as panoramic across the city.

Investment & Turkish Citizenship
You are buying from the company that is building it. Irmak Group develops and sells Pearl Residence Topkapı under its own Irmak Pearl Residence brand, and its tower crane carries the company name over the site in its own construction films.
Irmak Group publishes the project as suitable for Turkish citizenship by investment, and says so in all four language versions of its presentation. Eligibility in law turns on the price paid for the specific apartment and on the buyer's own circumstances, so it is settled apartment by apartment rather than project by project.
Tapu (title deed) is the document that settles ownership in Türkiye. The material we hold does not record the title position for this tower, so we check the Tapu at the Land Registry and put the position in writing before any transfer.
The handover date Irmak Group published is March 2026, and that date has now passed. The material we hold does not say whether the building has been handed over, so tell us the layout and the floor you want and we will come back with the current position, what is available and the price in writing.
Frequently Asked Questions
Where is Pearl Residence Topkapı located?
Pearl Residence Topkapı stands on Mevlana Caddesi in Merkezefendi Mahallesi, in the Zeytinburnu district of Istanbul, on the European side. The site sits immediately south of the E5 motorway on the stretch between Merter and Cevizlibağ, and Irmak Group's own location sheet puts the tram, the metrobus and the nearest bus stops each two minutes' walk away, with the metro at ten.
Is Pearl Residence Topkapı in Topkapı or in Zeytinburnu?
The project carries Topkapı in its name and stands in Zeytinburnu. Irmak Group's own location sheet lists Topkapı itself as a ten-minute walk from the door, and the address the developer publishes is Mevlana Caddesi No 4, Merkezefendi, Zeytinburnu. Merkezefendi Mahallesi is a Zeytinburnu neighbourhood, so the tower's district is Zeytinburnu and Topkapı is the landmark it is named for.
What apartment types and sizes does Pearl Residence Topkapı offer?
There are two layouts, 1+1 and 2+1, and Irmak Group publishes five measured plans. The 1+1 Type 5 is 66.09 m² gross and 40.18 m² net on floors ten to fourteen, and the 1+1 Type 3 is 91.46 m² gross and 61.46 m² net on the fourteenth floor. The 2+1 plans are Type 4 at 79.56 m² gross and 47.97 m² net with an open kitchen on floors one to fourteen, Type 2 at 129.27 m² gross and 77.74 m² net on floors one to nine, and Types 1, 1a, 1b and 1c at 128.35 m² gross and 77.70 m² net on floors eleven and twelve.
How tall is Pearl Residence Topkapı and how big is the site?
Pearl Residence Topkapı is a single residential tower of fifteen floors on a plot of 2,000 m², and both figures come from Irmak Group's own presentation. The published apartment plans run up to a fourteenth-floor 1+1, and the developer describes the outlook from the upper floors as panoramic across the city. There is one building, not a compound of blocks.
Who is building Pearl Residence Topkapı?
Pearl Residence Topkapı is built by Irmak Group, which markets it under its own Irmak Pearl Residence brand. The developer's construction films show a tower crane on site carrying the Irmak name, and its published contact address for the project is Mevlana Caddesi No 4, Merkezefendi, Zeytinburnu. No architect, contractor or structural engineer is named in the material we hold, so we confirm those separately if they matter to you.
When will Pearl Residence Topkapı be delivered?
The handover date Irmak Group published for Pearl Residence Topkapı is March 2026. That date has now passed, and the material we hold, which includes undated construction films and an undated presentation, does not record whether the building has been handed over. We confirm the current construction position and the handover date in writing before you commit, rather than repeat a date that may have moved.
What are Pearl Residence Topkapı's prices?
Irmak Group publishes no price list for Pearl Residence Topkapı in the material we hold, so no prices are recorded on this page. Prices at a project like this move with the floor, the layout and the aspect, and the five published plans differ by more than sixty square metres between the smallest 1+1 and the largest 2+1. Tell us the layout and the floor you want and we will put the price of a named apartment in writing.
Is Pearl Residence Topkapı eligible for Turkish citizenship?
Irmak Group publishes Pearl Residence Topkapı as suitable for Turkish citizenship by investment, and says so in all four language versions of its presentation. Eligibility in law turns on the price paid for the specific apartment and on the buyer's own circumstances, not on the project alone, so it has to be checked apartment by apartment. We check the Tapu (title deed) at the Land Registry and confirm the citizenship position for the apartment you choose before any transfer.
What is there at street level at Pearl Residence Topkapı?
The ground floor of Pearl Residence Topkapı is given over to shops. Irmak Group's renders show glazed shopfronts running along two sides of the base of the tower, a raised paved walkway in front of them, and a small forecourt with steps, planting and seating at the main entrance. The developer's presentation also lists open and covered car parking, a fitness centre with an open outlook, and gardens and planted areas around the building.
