The center includes an authentic Turkish food bazaar- a traditional market place, inspired by Turkish architecture and history.
Istinye Park has a gross area of 242,000 m2 (2,600,000 sq ft).
There are three distinct sections present in the building:
- The Grand Rotunda is a central entertainment space, consisting of a four level arena-like space beneath a scalloped/segmented shell. It is supported by a central exterior mast over 3 panoramic elevators. The 75-meter-diameter hard-shell canopy encloses a 9 m diameter vertically moving stage. The Rotunda also features kinetic water sculptures animated with lights and music.
- The Lifestyle Center is an open-air town square incorporating a green central park and Fashion District – the glass-roofed indoor retail area.
- The Bazaar area is distinguished from the rest of the center with its historical Turkish styling- each facade has been inspired by Turkish architecture and history.
The US architect, BCT Design Group Inc., based in Baltimore, designed the project. The design period -from conceptual, and schematic, to development- lasted for about a year. Ömerler Mimarlik, based in Istanbul, drafted construction drawings and handled implementation. The construction took 26 months from the first lay of the foundation until the grand opening. From the first sketch to the completion of the project, it took (2004–2007) 3 years in total.
