With this, Retaj has become the first Arab company to operate a hotel in the Atakoy area, located approximately 5 km from the airport. Well-known for its charming sea-view, Atakoy area, which is 20 minutes by car from Taksim Square, makes it a great destination for visitors.
 
The upcoming Nivo project is being developed at Ataköy, one of Istanbul's most up-and-coming quarters in partnership with Turkey-based Cathay Group.

In addition, the ceremony included the signing of a real estate marketing contract for the properties of the Turkish company in Qatar, as well as a technical support contract to provide technical advice and support by Retaj.

Atakoy Hotel has 314 hotel apartments, with full privacy, and this comes in line with the vision and mission of the Retaj Hotels and Hospitality Group, which aims to spread the principles of genuine Arab hospitality. 
 
Alper Tuğsuz expressed delight in Retaj’s interest in Ataköy project, located in one of Istanbul's most exclusive locations. 
 
"Retaj is one of only few investors from the Gulf to invest in the Turkish real-estate development industry. Therefore, we consider their choosing our project to invest in as a global seal of approval for our project." Thanks to the partnership agreement, Nivo Ataköy will elevate both the value and the quality of life in the region," he noted. 
 
Located right at the centre of Ataköy and supported by its architectural and social facilities, Nivo Ataköy is now a truly a world-class real-estate project, he added.
