Esas Family Office

Esas Family Office

Esas Family Office was established in 2000 by first- and second-generation members of the Sabancı family under the leadership of the late Şevket Sabancı. Ali Sabancı serves as Chairman and Emine Sabancı Kamışlı as Vice Chairperson. The firm operates as the primary vehicle for the family's multi-asset deployment outside the original operating businesses. The portfolio spans private equity, real estate, venture capital and liquid assets. Investment stages include buyouts, growth equity, early stage and seed. Esas executes through direct co-investments, SPVs and private credit. Confirmed positions include Pegasus Airlines, River Financial and Fasset. Geographic coverage reaches Europe, North America, the Middle East and Central Asia, and Africa. Real-estate holdings comprise Esas Plaza in Istanbul, 12 Stanhope Gate and Tower Bridge Court in London, and Brainport Tech Campus in Eindhoven. The firm employs professionals across its three offices. Kazım Köseoğlu chairs the real-estate arm, Esas Properties. Adjacent vehicles include the philanthropic entity Esas Sosyal. Ali Sabancı is a founding board member of GEN Turkiye and the firm maintains membership in TAİDER, the Turkish Family Business Association. No operational events from the last 24 months appear in public records. Esas maintains a hybrid structure that combines family-office governance with dedicated holding-company execution. This allows direct ownership of operating assets such as Pegasus Airlines alongside diversified financial investments, while succession and oversight remain within the Sabancı family branches.
