Doğan apartments

The Doğan Apartments is a residential building in Beyoğlu on Serdar-ı Ekrem Street with multiple floors and distinctive architectural details. Deep yellow facades are punctuated by wrought-iron balconies that structure the entire building.

The building was constructed between 1894 and 1895 originally as a Prussian State Delegacy building. It later passed through the hands of Belgian and Jewish merchants before eventually taking its name from the Doğan Insurance company.

The building shows European design features that shaped Istanbul's architecture during this period. The yellow walls and wrought-iron balconies reflect the taste of wealthy residents who lived here in the late 1800s.

The building sits in central Beyoğlu within walking distance of public transportation and numerous shops. It is easy to reach and surrounded by the active life of the neighborhood.

The building went through multiple ownership changes and name transitions, with each owner shaping its identity. These transformations tell the story of shifting populations and economic activities in this neighborhood.
