ELIE SAAB and Doğan Group have officially unveiled Ankara Residences by ELIE SAAB, the first branded residences development to be developed in Turkey’s capital.
Set amid the city’s most sought-after enclave, the site provides effortless access to landmarks such as Atakule Tower, Panora and Kuzu Effect malls, and Çankaya Palace, while embracing sweeping views and natural serenity from Dikmen Valley and METU Forest.
The day opened with a site visit in the prestigious Çankaya district. Elie Saab Jr., CEO of ELIE SAAB Group, and Doğan Group Chairman Erdoğan Yıldırım were joined by senior leadership from both companies to explore the exceptional location.
In the evening, a glamorous official unveil took place at the JW Marriott Hotel Ankara. An invited audience of distinguished guests from politics, business, the arts, and society gathered to experience the essence of the ELIE SAAB aesthetic, refined design, meticulous innovation, and unparalleled craftsmanship.
Elie Saab Jr., Doğan Group Chairman Erdoğan Yıldırım and Massimiliano Ferrari of A++ Group spoke enthusiastically to the audience about the importance of the project and how it will bring new standards of luxury and exclusivity to the real estate sector in Ankara.
Ankara Residences by ELIE SAAB
Ankara Residences by ELIE SAAB comprises two elegant sculptural towers offering 198 residences across a range spanning approximately 126 to 521 square metres, including spacious duplexes and signature penthouses.
The two towers rise with a fluid, sculptural presence, their soft continuous lines forming a refined silhouette that shifts character with every angle. Vertical brass elements animate the facade, filtering light with quiet precision against a luminous white palette, while the interplay of light and shadow gives the buildings a dynamic identity at every hour of the day.
Winter gardens extend the living spaces outward, drawing the boundary between inside and outside into something seamless and natural.
Inside, the residences are defined by spatial clarity and a considered material palette. Travertine surfaces and warm bronze tones create an atmosphere of understated richness, while abundant natural light moves through each home with ease.
Shared spaces carry the same design sensibility, appointed with ELIE SAAB Maison furniture created in creative collaboration with Carlo Colombo and crafted by master artisans in Italy. Each common area feels considered and cohesive, an extension of the same refined vision that runs through every aspect of the project. Residents also have access to personalised furniture selection and customisation services directly from the Maison.
The amenities have been developed and chosen as a natural extension of daily life, and to be part of your home rather than an afterthought.
Wellness and fitness facilities, beautifully landscaped gardens, and social lounges provide space for both activity and retreat, while dedicated concierge, valet parking, and round-the-clock security ensure every practical need is met with the same level of care.
Doğan Group Chairman Erdoğan Yıldırım spoke to the significance of the partnership: “With Ankara Residences by ELIE SAAB, we are setting a new standard of living in the capital. We are bringing together our engineering expertise and deep knowledge of the local market with an internationally recognised design vision. Our goal is not only to deliver a quality branded residential project to Ankara, but to introduce a new approach to living that stands apart through a global design sensibility in the Turkish real estate market. We are adding value to Ankara’s development by bringing together quality, an innovative outlook, and a refined approach to living within a single project.”
Elie Saab Jr. added: “Our move into Ankara is an important part of our strategy to focus on cities showing strong economic growth, an evolving urban identity, and increasing demand for premium living. As the capital continues to develop with a dynamic, forward-looking character, offering a refined residential concept that reflects the values of the ELIE SAAB lifestyle here is very much in line with our vision.”
Set in the coveted Çankaya district, Ankara Residences by ELIE SAAB occupies one of the city’s most central and sought-after addresses. Atakule Tower, Panora and Kuzu Effect malls, and Çankaya Palace are all within minutes, connecting residents effortlessly to the best of Ankara’s commercial, cultural, and social life.
