Designed by Baltimore’s DDG, Mall of Istanbul opens

Baltimore — The Mall of Istanbul opened today in Istanbul, Turkey. The 34.5-acre mixed-use development features 2.1 million sq. ft. of retail space, 1.4 million sq. ft. of residential space and 322,600 sq. ft. of office space.



Baltimore-based DDG won the design contract for the mall in 2009 in an international competition.



“The development aspires to become the place to shop, live, work, stay, and be entertained not only for Istanbul, Turkey, but for all of Europe to enjoy and celebrate the unique heritage of this world-class city," says Ahsin Rasheed, Chairman, CEO, and president of DDG.
