Forum Trabzon / Trabzon / Turkey

Forum Trabzon is the largest project in both Trabzon and the Black Sea region. It is constructed on a land area of 72,000 m² and its architecture reflects the unique characteristics and icons of its surroundings. The city has a privileged status in the Eastern Black Sea region due to its colourful history, breathtaking nature and firm economic structure. With the well-known Sumela Monastery, many interesting historic sites and its overall natural beauty, Trabzon is one of the most important tourist destinations in Turkey. Forum Trabzon is now attracting visitors from all over the city and other nearby towns. It is adding a new dimension to the existing retail market and is contributing immensely to the commercial and social life of the city.

Forum Trabzon was officially opened on June 2008 by The Prime Minister of Turkey, Mr. Recep Tayyip Erdogan. It is ideally located near the new coastal express motorway, with public parks and the Karadeniz Technical University all within the close vicinity. The shopping centre is easily accessible from the entire city and all neighbouring areas.

The 49,200m² scheme is anchored by a Migros hypermarket, a Koçtaş DIY an 8-screen Cinebonus cinema complex, a large number of famous fashion stores, a department store, an electronics store and a sports store. These act as co-anchors with various national and international brands.

Forum Trabzon provides a shopping experience that is pleasurably enhanced when walking through the inner courts and galleries. It has a public park that is a perfect venue for festivals, concerts and special events. With its attractive multi-coloured and multi-dimensional facades and its prominent lighthouse overlooking the Black Sea, this shopping centre is an important landmark and popular destination for the entire region.
