04 April 2011 [11:56] - TODAY.AZ
Turkey’s Uluhan Group is set to construct a new real estate project in the Esenyurt district of Istanbul. The company broke ground for the Esenyurt Towers of Babel, which will consist of 1,050 houses and 151 commercial units, with a ceremony on Sunday.

The project is worth 160 million Turkish Liras and expected to be completed in two years.

"In accordance with studies conducted by the Esenyurt Municipality, as contractors we show a great interest in Esenyurt and removing its ‘village’ appearance," said Süleyman Demirhan, board chairman of Uluhan Group, speaking at the groundbreaking ceremony.

Uluhan Group is conducting the management of the project in cooperation with Garanti Koza, a prominent land development company in the Turkish construction sector.

The company has another project ongoing in the same district. The Acunkent residence project in Esenyurt includes 670 houses. The group has previously completed a project for Turkey’s Housing Development Administration, or TOKİ, that included the construction of 700 houses.

The ceremony was attended by Necmi Kadıoğlu, municipal mayor of the Esenyurt district, and partners of the project.
