A new addition and staple to Istanbul’s Golden Horn is Rixos Tershane, where 600 years of heritage meets modern luxury. The aptly titled project covers land that was once a historic shipyard- indeed, the exact location where Ottoman battleships were pulled onto land during the conquest of Istanbul.

This historic connotation already distinguishes the land as a spot forever associated with success and triumph, while Rixos’ new luxurious developments promise a new apex of acclaim . The expansive lands feature four hotels, four museums, two luxury shopping centers, and multiple restaurants and cafes for an approximate total of 250 acres. Excluding a select few larger historical buildings, all structures are new constructions.


Within those 250 acres, the Rixos Residences are the serviced luxury accommodations presented by the Rixos brand. The Rixos Residences offers a variety of bookable services to residents, eliminating the need for outsourcing. This includes but is not limited to a personal chef, personal trainer, nutritionist, private transportation and limousine services, technological assistance, translation services, and car detailing. Notable for oft-traveling owners is their “While You Are Away” maintenance package. A high-end shopping mall, covering the ground level of the residences, is modeled after a modernized Grand Bazaar.


The Residences have a swimming pool on the rooftop that overlooks the Golden Horn. But it is not a typical swimming pool- the pool is filled with salty seawater, another idiosyncrasy that puts Rixos Tershane in a class of its own. Rixos Tershane boasts a distinction as the only residential project in Istanbul with direct access to docks, marking it as a favorite for mariners. Continuing the nautical theme, a seaplane is bookable by residents for quick trips to nearby coastal destinations such as Bodrum.

Perhaps most notable is the rental guarantee the development offers. If upon purchase the buyer is unable to find a suitable renter, the project management will pay rent to the property owner for the first five years. By the fifteenth year, the property owner should have the property amortized. This further goes to lower the financial risk and increase the venture opportunity related to the development.


Embrace the nautical atmosphere and consider investing in Rixos Tershane.
