Tanmiyat 2050

Tanmiyat Group and Aslan Group joined forces on September 1st, 2005 creating a joint venture in the two sectors of real estate and construction, breaking new grounds in the international arena. The joint venture is called Tanmiyat 2050 and its first prospect is Triplex Tower 2050.

Phase one of this project, has already broken ground and commenced construction in Istanbul’s Samand‎ra region. This phase will be an immense count of 11 buildings that will shelter light manufacturing and light industry for many of Turkey’s successful small to medium enterprises. Phase one is a true testament of the joining of two successful companies with Turkey’s developing economy in mind.

Phase two will give birth to 3 landmark towers that will include residential and commercial property. The towers will also house food and beverage outlets coupled with a major hotel brand that will cater for the surrounding businesses and commercial offices. This will feed the needs of the 1000’s of people that will travel in and out of these magnificent structures which in turn will also create 1000’s of new opportunities for small to medium enterprises in the area. Shopping and other entertainment outlets will also be a part of the second phase, which make this project a destination for many. These shopping areas will house many of the mainstream brands that we know and others from the local market.

Tanmiyat 2050 is planning for extremely long term interests in Turkey, and to reflect its commitment to the region, it already has two more projects in its pipeline that are worth over $200 million. This investment is a reflection of its commitment to the buoyant Turkish market and its long future in the Turkey.
