Piazza Maras Shopping Center designed by Hollywood, California-based architecture firm 5+design, champions the first modern retail center for the ancient Turkish city of Kahramanmaras. The design intent was one that supported the idea of creating a space that would foster a sense of community.

The overall design of the master plan is organized into a sequence of simple unique districts all connected via covered day lit passages. Combining a variety of shops, restaurants and entertainment offerings, the 4-level retail center provides a distinct shopping district for visitors currently not found in Maras.
