A proposed LEED certified sports, lifestyle and entertainment development comprising of a multi-use arena, shopping, hotel, parking, offices, cinemas and theater uses focused around an interactive multimedia events plaza.
As one of the most popular sports clubs in Turkey, Fenerbahçe S.K. occupies a position of social and sporting prominence in Istanbul culture. It is appropriate then that the new home for the club's competitive and successful basketball team will soon be playing its matches in an extraordinary and inspired new setting. Slated to open in 2010, Alpella Youth City is a proposed LEED certified state-of-the-art sports, lifestyle and entertainment development comprising of a multiuse arena, shopping, hotel, parking, offices, cinemas and theater uses focused around an interactive multimedia events plaza for the city of Istanbul.
The sleek, 15,000 seat multi-use arena at the heart of the new project is designed to accommodate a variety of sports activities, musical performances, trade shows and promotional events. Connected to the arena is a three-level sports lifestyle center designed to accommodate a diverse mix of retail options, including cinemas, an Olympic-sized swimming pool, a number of restaurants and cafes, and a family entertainment center.
The center overlooks a dynamic open-air events plaza, a spectacular oval-shaped space that can comfortably accommodate game-day crowds as well as function as a stand-alone dining and entertainment attraction. The plaza is complimented and animated by large-scale interactive media elements that stream a mix of live game video, advertising and branding opportunities. The specially selected hillside site accommodates an abundance of easily accessible multi-level parking strategically located below the arena and shopping areas, while terraced dining and café overlooks the plaza. All told, the Alpella Youth City design includes more than 25,000 square meters of leasable retail and entertainment space. An 8,500-square-meter, 240-key hotel and a 12-story, 20,000-square-meter office tower bracket the site and contribute to the diverse blend of uses that have been integrated into this innovative mixed-use development.
The sophisticated architectural styling and curvilinear forms that frame the space reinforce the sense of energy, vitality, and seamless interconnection and help affirm the visionary nature of a project that promises to not only satisfy the increasing demands of the club's enthusiastic and supportive basketball fans, but to redefine the intersection of sports, retail and entertainment.
