Eyüboğlu said, “At Forum Göztepe, we will offer many features such as commercial areas, office areas, places where you can socialize, and a parking garage for each flat. Forum Göztepe also offers transportation advantages by being located close to the ring road, metro and the beach. "This project will add value to both the region and Izmir," he said.
LIVABLE CITY GOAL
Emphasizing that there is a great need for transformation in Izmir due to the old building stock of the city, Turkmall Chairman Levent Eyüboğlu noted that the project, which will be located on a total area of 72 decares in Esentepe District, will set an important example not only for Izmir but for Turkey.
Eyüboğlu continued his words as follows: “As a result of the 2021-thirds compromise we made within the scope of the Forum Göztepe project, which we started in June 3, the entire area of Esentepe District, consisting of 2 blocks and 80 residences, was declared as a reserve by the Ministry of Environment, Urbanization and Climate Change. Within the scope of the project, we will build 820 houses in total. We have done many projects in the Aegean Region; We continue to do so. We pay special attention to Izmir. Earthquake and urban transformation are now an important reality of the country. We want to have a share in this transformation. We aim to create buildings with urban aesthetics, social areas and places to live. “With Forum Göztepe, we are implementing another award-winning project that suits Izmir.”
WE WILL START IN TWO MONTHS

This is a very valuable project for us. Because we will not only build shopping malls and residences. We will create a new living center with its square, street and social facilities. We will raise the project that will meet the needs of Izmir with modern architecture and on solid ground. We will offer many features such as commercial areas, office areas, places where you can socialize, and a parking garage for each flat.

NEW PROJECTS IN URBAN TRANSFORMATION ARE ON THE WAY IN IZMIR

There is a lot of work to be done in the field of urban transformation in Izmir. Because Izmir is a city on active fault lines and at risk of earthquakes. And also; The building stock of the city is also old. Izmir needs to transform by 80 percent. This unhealthy housing stock attracts more attention, especially in the city center. It is necessary to build new and healthy houses in Izmir and to carry out qualified projects that will meet the needs of the day. Our main job is to create living spaces.
