Trump Towers Istanbul are two conjoined towers in Şişli, Istanbul, Turkey. One of the towers is an office tower, and the other a residential tower, consisting of over 200 residences.[4] The complex also holds a shopping mall with some 80 shops and a multiplex cinema. They are the first Trump Towers built on the European continent. The property developer is Turkish billionaire Aydın Doğan, in a license-partnership with American businessman (later U.S. President) Donald Trump. His daughter Ivanka Trump took part in the promotion and sales of the residences in 2007,[5] 2008[6] and 2009,[5][7] and attended the April 2012 launch with her father Donald Trump and Turkish Prime Minister (later President) Recep Tayyip Erdoğan.[1][8] Many businesses based in Europe and the Middle East occupy the complex.
The original licensee holder was Miami developer Adi Chabli. Chabli originally brought Trump to Turkey and held the license prior to negotiating and subsequently transferring his rights to Doğan Holding.[9]
The residential tower includes the only collective wine cellar in Turkey, the cellar being built by Focus Wine Cellars.[10]
Among the buildings' prominent tenants is Iranian-born businessman Reza Zarrab.[11]
Trump name controversy
The Turkish owner of Trump who pays Trump for the use of his name, was reported in December 2015 to be exploring legal means to dissociate the property after the candidate's call to "temporarily ban Muslims from specific countries from entering the U.S."[12]
In December 2015, Trump stated in a radio interview that he had a "conflict of interest" in dealing with Turkey because of his property, saying "I have a little conflict of interest, because I have a major, major building in Istanbul ... It’s called Trump Towers. Two towers, instead of one. Not the usual one, it’s two. And I’ve gotten to know Turkey very well."[13][14]
In August 2018, Aytun Ciray, general secretary of the Iyi Party, a major opposition party in Turkey, called on the government of President Erdoğan to "seize the Trump Towers” in protest the Trump Administration's declaration of sanctions on Turkey's ministers of justice and the interior.[15]
