Forum Kayseri is a retail-led, mixed-use scheme of approximately 65,000 m². The four-storey shopping centre will include a hypermarket, a multi screen cinema, department stores, shops with national and international brands, as well as cafes, restaurants, entertainment areas and open and closed parking areas for 2,000 cars. The project is designed within a master plan that includes residences and a lot of facilities that will all provide further support to the retail units. Forum Kayseri will become the centre of attraction for the region. The design concept combines modern features with local elements. Kayseri stone and local arches are applied in a contemporary way into the design of the main facades. The enclosed centre will still provide a sense of the open air with its open food court terrace and skylights in the roof that allow daylight to flood into the centre. The public park, which is integrated with the shopping centre, will be particularly suitable for special large public events.
