Akmerkez shopping mall, Istanbul
Elegant solutions for a luxurious shopping mall
Project description
The Akmerkez complex in the heart of Istanbul stretches over 180,000 square metres. Besides a four-storey shopping mall with 250 shops, Akmerkez also contains three towers. Two of them, with 14 and 17 storeys apiece, contain office space, whilst a third, 24-storey, structure contains high-quality housing.
Why did the customer choose OBO products?
During comprehensive renovation of the complex, which was built in 1993, the executive company, the Akmerkez Construction Company, decided to use the versatile underfloor systems from OBO in both the luxurious shopping mall and the office buildings. Function and design, quality and longevity were the key factors for the planners. They found just these benefits in OBO underfloor systems.
Together with the partner, Concept i-Corporate, who implemented the electrical installation, they chose the nickel-plated GESRM2 service outlet and the corresponding underfloor outlet socket. The rapid exchange and countless samples convinced the customer, as did the large product range with a multitude of colour options. During the selection and ordering of the products, the planners were highly impressed with the clearly structured catalogue, which could also be accessed on-site using mobile devices. Rapid delivery rounded off the positive impression.
