Investment in Istanbul: Sisli

Sisli district has 25 neighborhoods, including Besiktas, Kagithane, and Beyoglu. It is considered one of the wealthiest regions of Istanbul with its luxury hotels and shopping malls.

Around 1800, Sisli used to be an open countryside for hunting, leisure time, and agricultural activities. Sisli was developed as an upper-middle-class residential district during the last years of the Ottoman Empire and the Turkish Republic's beginning years. During this period, French culture had considerably influenced this location, as one can understand from large stone buildings with high ceilings and tiny elevators on wires in the middle of the stairways.

Cultural Structure of Sisli

Jews, Greeks, Armenians, and Turks built homes in Sisli in 1870 after a fire in the neighboring district of Beyoglu. Today, many families from Istanbul's local Armenian community still live in Kurtulus, a neighborhood in Sisli.

Sisli was famous amongst the trading families who settled in Istanbul for trade. It was the first area to receive tramlines, electricity, and natural gas.

After the Turkish Republic's formation in 1920, more extensive buildings were constructed along wide avenues of Halaskargazi Caddesi, the main road through Sisli with little arcades of shops, tall offices, and apartments. In 1970, old buildings in the district were modernized and renovated in the light of modern multistory constructions.

Many working-class families and students reside in Sisli as it is at the center of everything and has good transportation connections with other parts of the city.
