A Blend of Heritage and Modern Luxury
The Ritz-Carlton Residences, Istanbul seamlessly blends historic charm with modern luxury. Originally developed as the Yapı Kredi Bank building in 1972, the structure was redeveloped by BLG Capital and redesigned by architect Tanju Özelgin and interior design firm Geo_ID, led by Mahmut Anlar. Situated atop a hill at the end of Valikonağı Street, the 121 residences across 22 floors provide supreme privacy and breathtaking views.
Serdar Bilgili, Chairman of BLG Capital, commented: “BLG Capital takes enormous pride in thoughtfully adapting beloved, historic structures for elevated modern living experiences. We worked closely with The Ritz-Carlton to set the European standard for branded residences that achieve an ideal balance of luxury, service, art, design, and repose in the heart of the world’s crossroads.
