Istanbul portfolio
The city-wide view of everything we publish in Istanbul — apartments, villas and selected residences on both sides of the water, in one collection.
The collection
This page gathers our whole Istanbul portfolio in one place: apartments, villas and selected residences across the European and Asian sides, from managed new-build sites to established neighbourhoods. Every card is tied to a real project record, and price, availability, delivery status and any programme relevance are confirmed with your advisor before you commit. If you already know the type you are after, the apartment and villa collections frame the same portfolio more narrowly.
Every listing tied to a real project record
Figures & availability verified with your advisor
Viewings and due diligence coordinated end-to-end

The portfolio
The districts
Every district where we currently publish projects, on both sides of the city. The directory grows as new districts pass photo and verification review.
Locations
Istanbul spreads across two continents, and where a buyer looks depends less on the postcode than on which of the city's belts fits the life they are planning. Our published portfolio maps onto a handful of those belts, and the district directory above carries the live picture of each.
The belt decides more than the building does. A managed site by the lagoon, a renewal project against the old walls and a resale flat on the central ridge are three different purchases that happen to share a city.
The market
Istanbul runs on city economics, all year. The widest divide in the apartment market is between new construction inside managed sites — where building standard, facilities and the service arrangement set the tone — and resale stock in established neighbourhoods, where the building's age and condition matter more than any brochure. They are different purchases, with different paperwork and running costs, and most briefs resolve clearly to one or the other.
Because the city is renewing part of its older housing, what a building stands on matters here too: the land share registered to an apartment quietly shapes its long-term value, and it is among the first things we read off a deed in the renewal belts.
Demand has an international layer — Istanbul purchases are often weighed against Türkiye's citizenship-by-investment route — but suitability is a property-by-property question, reviewed against the rules in force, never assumed from a listing.
| What shapes it | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Belt and district | The lake-west, the planned north-west, the old-city rim, the central ridge and the Anatolian side price differently because they live differently |
| Property type | A flat inside a managed site, a villa on the city's edge and a residence floor are different purchases sharing one city |
| New build vs established stock | The paperwork, the running costs and the renovation questions rarely overlap |
| What the site provides | Facilities and the service arrangement follow the home for as long as you own it |
| What the deed records | Land share, annotations and the occupancy permit — read before anything is admired |
One city, several markets — priced apart. The honest answer to "what does Istanbul cost" is a question back: which belt, which type, and which year of building?
Locations
The same portfolio in tighter frames — the apartment collection, or Istanbul's villa country on the city's edges.
Assurance
In a portfolio that spans apartments, villas and residence projects, the first thing we establish is that the unit in the brochure and the unit on the title are the same thing — in a multi-block Istanbul project, which block, which independent section and which share of the common areas a deed actually carries is where surprises hide. The checks that follow depend on the type: a villa purchase turns on the plot and its permissions, a residence on how the operator agreement binds the owner, an apartment on the building's permit history and service arrangement. In every case the standard layer is the same — registered ownership, annotations on the title, occupancy status, the eligibility rules that apply to any foreign purchase, and figures taken from the seller or developer directly. Nothing is presented as fixed until it has been verified for the specific unit.
Questions
Both sides carry publishable stock, and neither is "better" — they answer different lives. The European side holds most of the new-build belts and our deepest coverage; the Asian side offers settled, seafront district living. The belt guide above and the district directory show where the portfolio actually sits; the brief decides the side.
The portfolio is apartment-led, with villas on the city's western and forested edges and a small number of residence and commercial projects. This page shows all of it together; the apartment and villa pages carry the same records filtered by type.
There is no single Istanbul number worth printing — type, belt and building age pull prices apart. Figures are shared on application and confirmed with an advisor for the specific unit, against current availability.
It can be relevant to Türkiye's citizenship-by-investment route, but suitability is established for the exact unit and the rules in force at the time — reviewed case by case, never assumed from a listing. The route is explained on our citizenship by real estate page.
