The Structure of Maya Akar Center
Completed in the early 1990s, Maya Akar Center is one of the first generation of high-rise office buildings on Büyükdere Avenue. The complex consists of two main buildings and offers infrastructure designed for corporate use:
- Block B – Main Tower: In the 30-storey main tower, a full floor has a usable area of about 1,090 m².
- Block C – Atrium: The 3-storey atrium building offers spaces of different sizes from the main tower.
- Covered parking: A 4-level covered car park lies beneath the complex.
- Building management and security: A security system, automated technical infrastructure and professional building management support corporate users.
- Views: The upper floors on the south side have Bosphorus views.
Full, Half and Quarter Floor Options
What makes Maya Akar Center flexible for companies of different sizes is that floors in the main tower can be divided. A full floor is about 1,090 m², a half floor about 545 m² and a quarter floor about 272.5 m². This allows large corporate teams and professional services firms looking for a more compact office to find space in the same building.
The right option depends on more than headcount: meeting room needs, visitor traffic, growth plans and hybrid working all play a part. Getting the scale right from the start avoids paying rent for more space than you need — or having to move again soon.
