Beginning with the 1950s, modern apartment buildings began to dominate the skyline of Nisantasi, particularly Valikonagi Street. At the end of this famous street stood the Yapi Kredi Bank building, co-designed by the leading architects Dogan Tekeli and Sami Sisa as part of a 1972 architectural competition and became the most iconic building of its time. That building forms the foundation of The Ritz-Carlton Residences, Istanbul today. 

The project was designed by Tanju Özelgin as a contemporary interpretation of the design spirit of the 1970s. Without changing the main character of the structure, a new design was developed to serve as a natural  extension of the existing building while meeting the modern day needs. 
A dark color was preferred to ease the massive feel of the building and to maintain a harmonious look with the surrounding buildings. It was designed to have a solemn, calm and respectable character.

The Ritz-Carlton Residences, Istanbul will feature 31 unique types of residential units. From 1 to 4 bedroom apartments, garden duplexes to penthouses, an anticipated 121 units will be spread across 22 floors.
