The last skyscraper Istanbul will ever permit, and the city's most engineered residential project — both fully eligible for Turkish Citizenship by Investment. Sitting side by side in the same district, redefining what Istanbul real estate can mean.
Istanbul's revised zoning legislation has effectively closed the door on new high-rise construction in the city. RAMS Beyond is the last project granted skyscraper permission before the rule change — making this an architectural artifact that, by law, cannot be reproduced.
This is not a marketing slogan. It is a regulatory fact. Inventory inside this tower is finite; supply is permanently capped. For the global UHNW investor, this transforms the asset class from "luxury condo" to collectible — antique-grade.
Rising in Maslak, the financial epicenter of Turkey, ETRO Residences at RAMS Beyond commands a 360° panorama spanning the Black Sea, the Sea of Marmara, all three Bosphorus bridges (15 July, FSM, Yavuz Sultan Selim), the Princes' Islands and the Belgrade Forest.
Founded in Milan in 1963 by Gerolamo Etro, ETRO is among the most distinguished names in Italian fashion. Bohemian, scholarly, immediately recognizable — built around the iconic paisley, layered textiles, traditional weaving and a chromatic vocabulary that fuses Mediterranean heritage with contemporary form.
ETRO Residences at RAMS Beyond is the maison's first ever branded residential project worldwide. Every interior — from millwork and stone to the textile language — is authored by ETRO's design office. Fashion translated into architecture, without dilution.
This is not co-branding. It is the full editorial expression of an Italian fashion house, deployed for the first time in a vertical living format.
When you buy a tower in a seismic geography, the architect's signature is reassuring — but the structural engineer's signature is what matters at 3 a.m.
RAMS Beyond is built using C50-grade concrete — the highest commercial concrete classification available in Turkey — combined with a full composite steel structural skeleton. This places the tower in a category typically reserved for hospitals and mission-critical infrastructure, not residential.
The structural engineering signature is Thornton Tomasetti — the firm responsible for some of the most ambitious supertalls in the world. Geotechnical and façade engineering by Arup. Architecture by Dome+Partners (Murat Yılmaz).
Three signature elements that together form RAMS Beyond's irreplaceable proposition. None can be replicated in a future Istanbul build.
An infinity-edge swimming pool on the 40th floor — restricted exclusively to residents — with the Bosphorus folding into the horizon line and three bridges visible at sunset.
A private 360°-view restaurant operated under Michelin-star direction. Reserved for residents and their guests. Dining altitude: among the highest in Europe.
A private helicopter landing pad for VIP transit, plus an integrated direct-metro exit accessible from inside the building. Two ends of the mobility spectrum, vertically aligned.
Direct from RAMS Global. Tier 1 inventory remains available; specific floor and orientation subject to confirmation.

Taşyapı's Şişli development is not a building — it is a vertical city. Four 37-story towers, each measuring approximately 66,000 m², integrated with 1,660 luxury residences, 208 commercial units, and a 208-room 5-star hotel, deployed on the most dynamic axis of central Istanbul.
The developer, Taşyapı, has 45+ years of construction expertise and a portfolio that includes Trump Towers Istanbul, Mashattan, Medical Park Göztepe, the DoubleTree by Hilton Istanbul, and Prof. Cemil Taşcıoğlu City Hospital — among the largest hospitals in Europe.
This is institutional-scale construction, not boutique development. Yet every residential interior is detailed to the standard of a custom Italian apartment.
Most luxury projects in Istanbul are designed for the building code. Taşyapı Şişli is designed for the worst-case scenario — and tested for it.
Taşyapı Şişli is the first residential project in Turkey designed at a 1.5 Building Importance Factor — a rating typically reserved for hospitals, fire stations, and infrastructure that must remain operational after a major seismic event.
The structure has been tested for earthquakes up to magnitude 9.5, with modern seismic isolation and energy dissipation systems integrated into the foundation. Concrete grades C45 and C50 are used throughout. The façade is constructed from A2-class fire-resistant material.
Underground: a 3,574-vehicle parking facility and an 8,832 m² civilian shelter.
Taşyapı's modular layout system allows individual units to be combined post-purchase — transforming a 1+1 into a full-floor mansion as the family grows or the portfolio scales.
Live inventory pricing on Floor 19 — direct from Taşyapı sales. Other floors and orientations available on private briefing.
| Configuration | Area | Price (USD) |
|---|---|---|
| 1 + 1 Luxury Suite | 88.71 m² | $760,000 |
| 2 + 1 Luxury Suite | 130.68 m² | $1,150,000 |
| 3 + 1 Luxury Suite | 177.76 m² | $1,520,000 |
Every interior surface, fitting and appliance specified to the standard of a bespoke Italian apartment.
Şişli is the geographic and commercial heartline of Istanbul — equidistant to Taksim, Nişantaşı, Levent and Maslak. Three top-tier hospitals within a kilometer. Three major shopping centers within four. Four universities at walking radius.
Forty-five years. Some of Turkey's most demanding projects — built and delivered.
Both ETRO Residences and Taşyapı Şişli are fully eligible for the Turkish CBI program. A real estate purchase of $400,000 minimum, held for at least three years, qualifies the investor — and immediate family — for a Turkish passport.
Turkey's passport currently provides visa-free or visa-on-arrival access to 110+ countries, and is one of the fastest CBI programs in the world: typical timeline from down payment to passport issuance is 4 to 6 months.
No language requirement. No physical residency requirement. No interview. Premiere Investr's Visa & Citizenship Desk handles the full file end-to-end.
The structural answers serious buyers ask before signing a contract.
Istanbul's revised zoning legislation has closed new high-rise permits in the city. RAMS Beyond was approved before the rule change. By regulation, no future tower of comparable scale can be built on the European side of the Bosphorus.
ETRO/RAMS uses C50 concrete + composite steel with Thornton Tomasetti engineering. Taşyapı Şişli is the first Turkish residential at 1.5 Building Importance Factor (hospital grade), tested to magnitude 9.5. Both far exceed standard residential code.
A single $400,000+ real estate purchase grants the principal investor, their spouse, and unmarried children under 18 full Turkish citizenship. No language test. No residency requirement. Filing begins after the down payment is settled.
Yes. Both projects are quoted, contracted and paid in US dollars, fully insulating you from Turkish lira volatility. Cash settlements at ETRO/RAMS receive a confidential developer discount.
Maslak (ETRO) and Şişli (Taşyapı) are Istanbul's two highest-yield neighborhoods for furnished long-term and corporate rentals. Assume 5–7% gross USD yield on Tier-1 inventory; ETRO branded inventory typically clears 25–40% above non-branded comparables.
Off-plan resale is permitted at both projects subject to developer assignment terms. Pre-delivery resale is one of the most common monetization paths for international buyers — and Premiere Investr will broker the secondary transaction discreetly.
