Forum Mersin / Mersin / Turkey

Located in Mersin, one of the most modern cities around the Mediterranean and the capital of many civilizations throughout history, Forum Mersin is the largest retail project in the Mediterranean region of Turkey.

Forum Mersin Shopping and Lifestyle Centre offers 70,250 m² GLA comprising 200 shops including various national and international brands, restaurants, leisure units and cultural facilities. The Centre is anchored by a Migros hypermarket, a Koçtaş DIY shop, a Media Markt electronics store and a 9-screen Cinebonus cinema complex. It offers a parking area for 2,000 cars.

The Centre’s design is inspired by the beautiful boulevards, the people, the sea, the harbour and the unique history of Mersin. Combining Mediterranean and Anatolian architecture with Turkish and modern elements, Forum Mersin represents a unique concept in the city. Separated by a boulevard into two parts, Forum Mersin offers an open street and a covered shopping area, while connecting the two with a bridge.

The many squares, streets and bridges create an atmosphere for people to meet, watch and enjoy life in a unique setting. The water elements, tents, pergolas and trees give opportunities for visitors to find a nice place to sit and just relax. A pedestrian area where all people, young and old, can connect and interact.

Forum Mersin’s inner streets are decorated with palm trees, leading to open squares and modern bridges, with restaurants and cafes and other leisure units, such as the 9 screena cinema complex and Bowlland bowling saloon.

Forum Mersin is not only the shopping centre, but also the social meeting point in Mersin, which attracts 10 million visitors per year.
