M1 ADANA – The next generation of Shopping Centres

The M1 Adana shopping centre sets standards. It is now an attractive shopping location, having been extensively modernised and expanded.

First opened in 2000, M1 Adana is the largest and most popular shopping centre serving the Turkish city of Adana and the region. To maintain its mar ket leadership, improve the quality of the customers’ time in the centre and meet all the requirements of modern-day life, METRO PROPERTIES planned a comprehensive modernisation together with the FİBA Commercial Properties, which was successfully concluded in spring 2017. One of the most striking architectural features of the M1 Adana shopping centre, which was designed by the renowned Spanish architecture firm L35, is its concept of being a space for shopping and city life.

Designed to meet the expectations of modern life, M1 Adana stands out as a new-generation shopping center with its predominantly green areas, the chance it offers to take in the fresh air and in its indoor spaces, the advantages of benefiting to the maximum from natural daylight. M1 Adana hosts 200 national and international brands all situated on a leasable area of 90,000 square meters. Targeting a transformation that proposes to provide more expansive service to a rapidly expanding city, M1 Adana will continue to be a center of life and living.

One of the most striking architectural features of M1 Adana, designed by the Spanish architectural firm L35, is its concept of being a space for both shopping and city living. Adopting a modern approach to the local values of Mediterranean architecture, the shopping complex has been designed as the living core of a city. The creative team that put together the architecture of M1 Adana belongs to one of the best architectural firms in Europe, a company that was founded by Jos Galán.

In the future, everything will revolve around using what already exists. All shopping centres will have to adapt to changes and update their concepts and product ranges in order to remain in keeping with the times. Enduring success can only be guaranteed on the basis of change.

Designed to meet the expectations of modern life, M1 Adana stands out as a new-generation shopping center with its predominantly green areas, the chance it offers to take in the fresh air and in its indoor spaces, the advantages of benefiting to the maximum from natural daylight.

In its renovated form, M1 Adana boasts of newly added shop spaces occupying 13,000 square meters and an outdoor recreation area of 20,000 square meters that have been integrated into the present complex, and in its new identity, the Mall will continue to be a venue for sports, activities in culture and the arts, and for a variety of other entertaining events.
