Konak Pier in Konak, İzmir

Konak Pier was designed by Gustave Eiffel in 1890, within the boundaries of the central metropolitan district of Konak, near the city's historic center Konak Square in İzmir, Turkey.

It was originally built as warehouse together with the French customs house on the nearby Pasaport Quay during the renewal of İzmir's portuary infrastructures as of 1867.

Konak Pier is reported to have been designed by Gustave Eiffel's architecture office. It was thoroughly restored starting 2003 and was opened as an upmarket shopping mall in 2004. Since then, it became one of the landmarks of İzmir.

There are plans to extend Konak Pier compound to include a large marina once suitable adjacent space is made available.
