BJK FULYA SÜLEYMAN SEBA COMPLEX
The construction of BJK Fulya Süleyman Seba Project had been going on for more than a half century. In addition to hundreds of ardent Beşiktaş supporters, former Beşiktaş Club Presidents, from Hakkı Yeten to Mehmet Üstünkaya, from Süleyman Seba to Serdar Bilgili, had all contributed to the said project in one way or another. As of the day President Yıldırım Demirören took office being May 30, 2004, he had always expressed the importance of Fulya project for the future of Beşiktaş and the construction finally got underway; and on February 11, 2009, after nearly four years of hard work, the giant sports facility opened its doors to public with an impressive ribbon-cutting ceremony.
Our Honorary President Süleyman Seba, who served Beşiktaş between 1984 and 2000, spared no effort to acquire the project land in Fulya from the Turkish Youth and Sports General Directorate through donation. Mr. Serdar Bilgili, the next President of Beşiktaş, prepared plans for a new sports facility on the donated land that would be the only one of its kind in Turkey. President Yıldırım Demirören; who followed Bilgili, launched the ‘‘Süleyman Seba’’ titled project in mid 2005 after obtaining the required construction permits. Taking office on May 30, 2004, Demirören Administration first completed the BJK Inönü Stadium in October 2004; and then, turned its attention to Fulya Süleyman Seba Project. Mr. İlhan Durusoy, the Head of High Advisory Committee and Board member in Charge of Investments, introduced the meticulously designed draft plans to club members in February 2005. Following the plans approval, the tender process was started. The bidders were allowed to make offers on 4 different construction models: contractor’s self-financing, outside financing, build-operate-transfer and flats for landownership. A total of 17 prominent Turkish construction firms were invited to bid and 10 of them submitted their offers by the deadline set for June 7, 2005.
Until the July 18th, all bids were carefully reviewed and follow-up interviews were conducted.
And on July 21, 2005 Aşcıoğlu Construction Firm was selected to be the builder for the BJK Süleyman Seba Spors Complex on the basis of flats for landownership model plus to the costs in which Beşiktaş would get 67% of the build area. After the execution of contract on July 25, 2005, the tear- down of Ahmet Fetgeri Sports Hall and Hakkı Yeten Stadium located on the construction site got underway.
SCOPE OF THE PROJECT
As for the scope of the project… According to agreed model, the Aşçıoğlu Construction would first build various sized apartments on its 33% share and then sell them for profit to finance the rest of the project. Therefore, the complex included two apartment buildings owned exclusively by the contractor. On the other hand, inconsistent with the latest marketing concepts and the specifications of the area, the remaining 67% that belonged to Beşiktaş contained commercial space such as a hospital, food court, shopping mall, techno-market and offices to provide a guaranteed source of income for our club. Thanks to an effective marketing strategy, the premises were leased out even before the construction was completed. While the internationally-acclaimed health institution Acıbadem will run the hospital, the famous German hypermarket chain Real will offer its services in the shopping mall area. The techno-market is rented out to Medya Mart; and a long-term leasing agreement is signed with the Aşcıoğlu Construction for the offices and food court. Including its modern landscaping, the project covers an area of 160 000 square meters.
