alaattin apartments is a carefully restored and exceptionally well designed apartment building located on Serdar-i Ekrem Caddesi in the heart of the popular neighbourhood of Galata.
The complete project comprises of two historical period apartment buildings that have been connected as one building since the 1930’s under one deeded land plot of 145.5m2. The buildings are open and joined at the heel to form “L” shaped flats.
In total there are seven luxurious flats of various sizes totalling over 1,016.36m2. as well as one street level shop/office duplex (permitted ISYERI) of 74.97m2.. In total the entire project is 1,091.33m2 with a very low ratio of common area to gross area.
The building features direct lift access to the upper five suites, three metre high brick-vaulted ceilings throughout, beautifully restored stone foundation walls dating to the mid-1800’s, a main marble staircase and other features of classic European architecture.
The top two flats have unencumbered panoramic views over the Bosphorus Strait, Topkapi Palace, Aga Sofia, Blue Mosque, Sea of Marmara, Princes’ Islands and even the Uludag Mountains. And a lower flat features a rare view to the 19th Century Crimean Church and Bosphorus Strait.
