AND Pastel Construction in Safe Hands

The results of the bid for the construction of AND Pastel, the first housing project of the Anadolu Group's real-estate brand, AND Gayrimenkul, have been finalized.

The results of the bid for the construction of AND Pastel, the first housing project of the Anadolu Group's real-estate brand, AND Gayrimenkul, have been finalized. AND Pastel will be constructed by Tepe İnşaat, a company active in the real-estate industry since 1969.

Seven of the industry’s leading construction companies participated in the bid to construct AND Pastel, one of the largest housing projects in Kartal. At the finalization of the bidding process on April 20, 2016, Tepe was awarded the contract following a good offer.

With the coming together of AND Real-Estate, under the roof of the Anadolu Group, and Tepe Construction, a company of Bilkent Holding, the AND Pastel project will be securely and reliably constructed.

Delivery in June 2018 AND Real-Estate is going to have its 250,000 m2 construction activities carried out by Tepe Construction, in Kartal, partly on a 45.000 m2 former production facility belonging to the Anadolu Group. The construction work, commenced by Tepe Construction on May 23 2016 is proceeding rapidly.

Delivery on the first stage of the project will commence in June 2018.

AND Pastel has been launched

The Anadolu Group’s real-estate brand, AND Gayrimenkul is constructing its first housing project in Istanbul’s Kartal district. The project will be constructed on the site of the Anadolu Motor factory.

The Anadolu Group’s real-estate brand, AND Gayrimenkul is constructing its first housing project in Istanbul’s Kartal district. Stating that the project will be constructed on the site of the Anadolu Motor factory, the General Director of AND Gayrimenkul, Ali Baki Usta, added: “When Anadolu Motor moved to Şekerpınar, this area fell into disuse. Alongside the 45 acre factory plot, we also purchased 10 acres belonging to Adel next door. We’re bringing our experience from Kozyatağı to Kartal”.

The Build-Live Model
Having carried out 11 studies with 9 different companies and undertaken analyses of regional needs and consumer expectations of the project, Ali Baki Usta explained that AND Pastel’s 1200 residential units makes it one of the region’s largest projects. Mentioning their work to create a warm neighborly lifestyle, Usta explained that “in the real-estate industry, the practice is to work on either a build-sell or sell-build model. However, we started out with a build-live approach. Before considering the physical space, we designed the lifestyle. We are undertaking a project able to meet the needs of the future”.

Over 4,000 Requests
The contractor charged with constructing the 7 block project is Tepe Construction. Indicating that there will be an option in the project to meet every need in the project, AND Gayrimenkul’s Director of Project Development, Batuhan Tarkan, explained that “whereas we are building 1+1 apartments for young people in a 40 storey block, in a smaller block we have 2+1 homes for newlywed couples. In the horizontal blocks, we have a broader selection of homes for larger families. We have received more than 4,000 initial requests for the project. The first three blocks to go on sale have also received an intense level of interest from employees of the Anadolu Group”. Stating that the square meter sale price at the launch of the project was set at 4,750 TL, Tarkan went on to say that the prices of homes would vary between 298,000 TL and 1,100,000 TL. As AND Pastel is being constructed under the aegis of urban renewal, the VAT is to be set at 1%. It is expected that the homes will be ready for delivery in June 2018. A competition was held for the architectural design of AND Pastel, and the contract was awarded to the international architectural office, HPP Architects.

“It Will Be a Child-Friendly Project”
Explaining that AND Pastel will be a child-friendly project, Ali Baki Usta went on to say: “Children are very precious to us. For this reason, we developed AND Pastel as a child-friendly project. We believe they deserve much more than houses designed for adults that are exposed to the noise of the city, and tiny playgrounds. We have designed, not only the open areas, but even the interior of the homes and the enclosed common spaces with children in mind”. The project includes a variety of spaces, such as areas for children to wait for school buses and numerous play areas.

Whoever Buys a House Will Have a Garden
The AND Pastel project has been set up so that the traditional neighborhood blends together with the needs of our current era. Stating that anyone who purchases a home will also have a garden set aside for them, Usta explained that “we have made an agreement with Komşuköy. Those who purchase a home in the horizontal blocks we have named Green Blocks, will be able to take advantage of this collaboration. Those who wish may physically be involved in the cultivation of their garden, those who wish may simply receive the produce”. The project, designed as a medium-sized neighborhood, will feature a health centre, crèche and commercial spaces for satisfying daily needs. Social areas will include both open-air and enclosed swimming pools, a sports centre, playgrounds, walking paths, a square and various social activities.

Four Awards Go To AND In London

Anadolu Gayrimenkul, with its first project AND, has returned from the European Property Awards, one of Europe’s most respected real-estate award ceremonies, with four awards.

Held in London and attended by delegates from 25 countries, the European Property Awards, after assessing hundreds of projects, conferred four awards on AND in the categories of Commercial High-Rise Development, Office Development, Office Architecture and Commercial Renovation/Redevelopment.

At the same time, AND also received a “5 Star” rating in three categories, giving it the right to continue on to the International Property Awards. AND, in being numbered among the candidates to represent Europe at the end of the year in the categories of Commercial High-Rise Development, Office Development and Office Architecture, will also go on to have the opportunity of being recognized as one of the best projects in the world.

According to the statement on this subject made by Anadolu Gayrimenkul General Manager, Ali Baki Usta: ‘‘Our returning from events in various parts of the world, such as last year’s CityScape Global, and this year’s European Property Awards with so many awards, has once again proven to us that we are moving swiftly and sure-footedly in the right direction. I have infinite faith that, having left so many projects at Europe leg, we will be able to continue our success at the world rankings at the end of the year. During this new period, we will be competing with the excitement and responsibility of AND representing, not only our company, but also our group and our country.’’

Stressing the period of rapid change and development for the real-estate industry and constantly developing, rapidly changing technologies, Usta went on to say: ‘’Together with technological developments, business life is undergoing fundamental changes and business manner models are evolving in new directions. This evolution is manifesting itself in changes to the technical requirements of the offices where business life takes place. In the real-estate industry, next-generation office buildings offering solutions for these technical requirements have begun to take centre-stage. The important point here, is that buildings answering the needs of today not prove inadequate tomorrow. Timeless buildings able to keep pace for the long-term in this period of rapid change and development will have the competitive advantage in the industry.”

The boundaries between home and office are shrinking

Speaking at the event, the director of Anadolu Gayrimenkul Project Management Unit, Mehmet Uğur Yıldırım, touching on the subject of what workers expect from their office spaces, said: “The market trends of our day and many rapidly changing factors are moving employees towards working in a speedier and more active manner. Furthermore, working hours are increasing and the boundaries between home and the office are shrinking. As a result of the increased time spent at the office, employee demand for comfort in the workplace is mounting and a number of different social supports aimed at meeting daily needs are being sought.”
