Karum Shopping & Business Center, Ankara
Karum, one of Turkey's largest shopping malls, is situated along the renowned Tunalı Hilmi Avenue. It takes its name from the ancient Assyrian merchant colonies, known as "Karum," paying homage to this historical connection. This shopping center offers a comprehensive shopping experience, comprising multiple floors, each hosting numerous shops and boutiques offering a wide array of merchandise.
Karum first opened its doors in 1991 under the slogan "A New Center in Ankara," with a vision of merging modernity and elegance. In a remarkably short time, the building became a focal point of the city and is recognized as one of Turkey's earliest business and shopping hubs. Situated in the Kavaklıdere district, Karum is particularly admired for its refined architectural design and scenic surroundings.
The structure boasts nine floors, with the ground, first, and second floors dedicated to shopping, while four floors serve as office spaces, and the remaining two floors are designated for parking and installation facilities. The central focal point of our architectural design is the elliptical atrium, which stands out as the most noteworthy feature.
