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.[1] The complex also holds a shopping mall with some 80 shops and a multiplex cinema. They are the first Trump Towers built in Europe. The property developer is Turkish billionaire Aydın Doğan, in a license-partnership with American businessman Donald Trump. The complex is considered to be one of the most prominent in Istanbul. Many businesses based in Europe and the Middle East occupy the complex.

The residential tower includes the only collective wine cellar in Turkey with a capacity of 16800 bottles. The cellar is built by Focus Wine Cellars.[2]

Among the buildings' prominent tenants is Iranian-born businessman Reza Zarrab.[3]

The Turkish owner of Trump Towers Istanbul, 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 ban Muslims from entering the U.S.[4]
