The office tower boasts the concept of “New Work” which was developed to combine unique attributes of the office building with white glove services and abundant amenities of the entire Trump Towers complex, creating a full lifestyle proposition.

“At Trump Towers Istanbul the bar has been raised. With its spectacular design, world class amenities, incomparable lifestyle proposition and prime location, there is nothing like it in Istanbul,” said Donald Trump.
Consisting of five floors of shopping plus two floors dedicated to well-being and food and beverage, and totaling 43.000 square meters rentable area, Trump Towers Mall was designed by specialist retail architects, Chapman Taylor, which is one of the world leading firms in this field and blazes many trails in its sector.

Underlining the fact that the Trump Towers Mall is distinguished from its competitors with a unique concept, Ivanka Trump said, “One of the key differentiators of this mall is that it has a playing and recreation center, an entire floor in fact, dedicated exclusively to children. This is a concept created by the Trump Hotel Collection and exemplified by our Trump Kids program at hotel properties around the world.”
Ivanka Trump went on to say, “I was very excited when I met Mehmet Ali Yalcindag and began to discuss this project four years ago. The building is truly spectacular and one that we are very proud to have as a part of the portfolio. I hope it to be the first of many iconic projects together that will carry the Trump name.”
