Kaysermall (Ildem Park)

İldem Erciyes Toplu Konut Yapı Kooperatifi, a housing cooperative, developed the property in Kayseri’s Melikgazi district on Günsazak Boulevard, opening it in 2017 as İldem Park Outlet with roughly 40,000 sqm of total construction and 16,000 sqm of leasable retail space across four floors and 83 stores, creating an estimated 750 jobs at launch. The property has since rebranded to Kaysermall, with the developer’s own current marketing stating plainly that “everything is now at Kaysermall,” even though the original İldem Park name persists in the property’s web domain and in some third-party directories.

A101, MM Migros and BİM anchor the grocery and discount floor, with LC Waikiki, Mavi and Penti carrying fashion alongside FLO for footwear. Visitor reviews describe the property as similar in physical layout to Kayseri Park, a larger, more established Kayseri mall, though with a more locally-weighted, budget-oriented tenant mix at opening that reviewers expected would improve as the newer property matured.

The property serves the large İldem residential district on Kayseri’s eastern periphery, roughly 15-17 km from the city’s actual center, and sits directly on Kayseri’s tram network, making it highly accessible to its immediate residential catchment even though it is not a central-city location. This positions it distinctly from Kayseri’s larger regional malls like Kayseri Park and Forum Kayseri, both closer to the city core.

That rebrand, from a name tied to its developer’s housing-cooperative origins to a name invoking the city itself, mirrors a broader pattern this session has found across several Turkish and other international malls: developers repositioning aging or newly opened properties under punchier, more marketable names once the original branding no longer serves the asset’s commercial goals.
