Historic Luxury Residences in Beyoğlu, Istanbul

Project Overview

Tomtom Flats is a boutique luxury residential development located in the prestigious Tomtom neighborhood of Beyoğlu, one of Istanbul’s most historic and culturally vibrant districts. Developed by Siska İnşaat, the project carefully restores heritage buildings dating back to the 1850s, combining authentic Ottoman-era architectural character with modern residential standards.

Built on a 2,750 m² land plot, the project consists of restored low-rise historic structures designed to preserve the district’s architectural heritage while providing contemporary comfort. The development offers a limited collection of approximately 10–20 upscale apartments, making it an exclusive residential opportunity in the heart of Istanbul.

The residences are available in 1+1 and 2+1 layouts, with sizes ranging from 64 m² to 224 m², featuring spacious interiors, high ceilings, and elegant finishes inspired by the original historic design. The project was completed in 2023, making it fully ready for occupancy or immediate investment.

Tomtom Flats represents a rare opportunity to own a residence within a protected historic environment, carefully restored to maintain original architectural details such as stone facades, bay windows, wooden window frames, and high ceilings, while integrating modern building technologies and safety standards.

Architecture & Design

The project is centered on the restoration and adaptive reuse of historic buildings, some of which were originally used as residences for foreign consulate staff in the 19th century. Siska İnşaat preserved many authentic architectural elements while upgrading the structures to meet modern engineering and comfort standards.

Key architectural features include:

• Restored historic stone façades and wooden structural elements
• High ceilings and spacious interiors typical of 19th-century buildings
• Elegant bay windows and traditional wooden frames
• Modern structural reinforcement and engineering systems
• High-quality interior finishes and contemporary living layouts

This blend of heritage preservation and modern design creates a distinctive residential experience rarely found in central Istanbul developments.
