POINT BORNOVA residence and shopping project has been designed as Izmir's largest mixed-use project with a total of over 260,000 m2 floor area. The complex offers 52,000 m2 of leasable shopping and entertainment area as well as 646 residential units on 42 storey tower above the shopping streets. Located at the historic port city of Izmir, POINT BORNOVA brings together elements of living, working and leisure with crossing urban streets that harbour a high-rise residential tower at its heart. The complex allows for 24/ 7 shopping, dining and entertainment in open air for most part of the year and the retractable glass roof above the streets will close in minutes for rainy days. A mix of upscale residential units within the 42 storey tower have uninterrupted views of the Izmir Bay to the West and are only an elevator ride away from these unparalled amenities. The project takes inspiration from the unique setting of sea, nature and urban lifestyle along the Aegean coastline. Visitors and residents are welcomed by a spacious entry plaza with water and landscape features. Three “shopping and entertainment streets” with distinct characters representing “sea”, “mountains” and “city” are organized around a triangular “jewel” base for the tower above. POINT BORNOVA aims to sustain the vibrant street life in İzmir in a semi-closed environment. Unlike the common mall architecture based around a central void with repeating floors, POINT BORNOVA introduces three "main streets" with different themes and choice of materials, all under a retractable glass roof, nestling a series of high end shops, restaurants and leisure areas. The bespoke residential tower with concierge service, indoor and outdoor recreational areas and direct access to all the amenities along the "main streets" below, provides a new and unique lifestyle opportunity in Izmir.
