After Imamoglu explained the purpose of his arrival, the company managers gave information to the IMM President on the project model.

Stating that the Karaköy coastline, which is closed to pedestrian access, will be opened to the public with the project, the executives stated that their aim is to transform the city into a promenade that connects with the sea. It is aimed to provide visual and physical access to the Bosphorus through the corridors to be created between the managers, İmamoğlu and the buildings. The maximum height of the buildings within the scope of the project will be planned lower than the current situation. Tophane Square will be one of the most prominent squares in Istanbul with its 30 decares of area, with its adjacent park and branches descending to the Bosphorus. Likewise, he shared the information that with the restoration of the registered buildings within the project area, the very valuable historical buildings of Istanbul will be restored to the city.

The executives said that the Cruise Passenger Terminal will also be reconstructed at world standards within the scope of the project and said, “The new terminal is planned to be built underground in order to continue uninterruptedly bringing the people and tourists to the Bosphorus. With the underground parking lot planned as part of the project, it is aimed to solve the park problem of the region. Galataport, which hosts the best examples of contemporary art in Turkey with the Istanbul Modern and Mimar Sinan University Painting and Sculpture Museum, - will be the center of the arts. He said that the squares and all open spaces within the project area will also be used as open air exhibition and installation areas.
