Choose the Right Istanbul Project —
With Us.

You don’t need another list of a thousand apartments. Instead, you need three Istanbul property options that actually fit your budget, your goal and your timeline. So answer four questions, and our Maslak team will build that shortlist by hand.

How We Work

We Don’t Sell You a Listing. We Help You Pick.

Most agencies show you everything and then let you guess. However, we do the opposite: first we understand what you actually need, and afterwards we bring you a short, honest comparison — including the Istanbul property projects we think you should avoid.

01

We listen first

Citizenship, rental income, capital growth or a family home — therefore each goal points to a completely different building. So we start there, not with a price list.

02

We shortlist three

Then, from the 23 projects and the resale stock we track in Maslak and central Istanbul, you receive three matched options — with real prices, not brochure prices.

03

We compare honestly

First, side by side: yield, service charges, delivery date, resale history and citizenship eligibility. In addition, we tell you which ones we would not buy, and why.

04

We stay after the deed

Finally: title deed, valuation, citizenship file, utilities, furnishing, tenants and resale. Because the same team that sold it to you also manages it for you.

Project Matcher

Let’s Find Your Three.

In short: four questions, under a minute. Also, no account and no obligation — because a real advisor prepares your shortlist by hand.

What is your main goal in Istanbul?
In fact, this decides the building more than anything else.
What is your budget?
In US dollars. Then we’ll show you what is realistic at each level.
When do you want the keys?
Of course, ready apartments and under-construction projects are priced very differently.
Have you visited Istanbul before?
So we know whether to start with a video tour or a viewing day.
Good — that’s everything we need.
An advisor will hand-pick three projects for you and send them within 24 hours, in your language.
Send This to an Advisor on WhatsApp or call us directly on +90 532 390 04 77
In short: no form, no sign-up, no mailing list. Instead, your answers open a WhatsApp message — and one advisor reads it and replies personally.
Citizenship by Investment

If Citizenship Is the Goal, the Choice Gets Narrower.

Not every apartment qualifies, and above all, not every qualifying apartment is a good buy. Therefore we only shortlist Istanbul property with a clean title, a valuation that holds at $400,000, and a realistic resale market after the three-year holding period.

$400,000Minimum property investment
3–6 monthsAverage time to passport
3 yearsHolding period, then free to sell
FamilySpouse & children under 18 included
1

We shortlist what qualifies

Clean title, no encumbrance, and a valuation that will actually support $400,000 — because we check all of it before you see it.

2

Purchase & valuation

Then the title deed transfer, with a licensed appraisal report; meanwhile the payment runs through the Turkish banking system.

3

Application

Next, our sworn legal partners file the residence permit and citizenship application on your behalf.

4

Passport, then the asset

Then approval usually arrives within 3–6 months. Finally, we rent, manage or resell the property for you.

Our Advisors

Meet the People You’ll Actually Deal With

First, no call centre and no anonymous inbox. Instead, one Istanbul property advisor takes your enquiry, and then stays with you through the viewing, the title deed and everything after it. In short, here are ten of our twenty-six.

Our Offices

Two Offices, Both Sides of Istanbul

Because anyone can build a website and nobody can fake a front door. We work from two offices – one in Maslak on the European side, one in Cinarkoy on the Asian side – and you are welcome to walk into either of them before you commit to anything.

Durukan Real Estate Maslak office
European Side / Head Office

Maslak

Maslak 1453, Sarıyer / Istanbul

Our head office sits inside the Maslak 1453 residence, in the middle of the business district. Because most of the buildings we cover are a few minutes away by car, we can usually show you three of them in a single afternoon.

Asian Side / Forest and Villa Corridor

Çınarköy

Emlak Konut Çınarköy Evleri, A Blok, Güngören Mah. 34788 Çekmeköy / Istanbul

On the Asian side, our Çınarköy office covers Çekmeköy and the forest-and-villa corridor. This is our largest single portfolio, and the one families relocating to Istanbul most often end up choosing.

Where We Work

Three Istanbul Property Corridors — Not All of Turkey

Of course, most agencies claim the whole country. Because our focus is narrower, we work three corridors only, and we have sold, rented or managed units in every building listed below. So start by choosing the corridor that matches how you want to live or invest, or browse every Istanbul property project we cover.

Istanbul’s Business District
Maslak

Because the office towers of Maslak sit right next door, rental demand here is corporate, year-round and in hard currency. In addition, metro on the doorstep, 25 minutes to the new airport, 15 to Levent. As a result, this is where our portfolio is deepest — roughly 220 units across seven buildings. You can also see current Maslak apartments for sale and rent.

Best for: citizenship buyers who also want a tenant from day one, and anyone who wants the easiest exit later.
Buildings we cover here
MashattanMaslak My HomeMaslak 1453Maslak 42SkylandAs Maslak
The Growth Corridor
Vadistanbul & Kâğıthane

Then there is Istanbul’s newest residential corridor, built along a green valley with its own shopping mall and park. Moreover, entry prices are noticeably below Maslak for the same square metres, and the metro line has already arrived — which is usually where capital growth comes from.

Best for: capital growth and family living, and for budgets that do not stretch to Maslak yet.

Forest & Villa Living
Zekeriyaköy & Çekmeköy

Finally, low-rise and villa projects on the forest edge, north and east of the city. Quiet and green, with international schools nearby — therefore a different buyer entirely from the tower investor. Meanwhile, our largest single project by unit count sits here.

Best for: families relocating to Istanbul, and buyers who want space and garden rather than a tower.

Resale Portfolio

Sometimes the Right Istanbul Property Isn’t a New Build.

Most agencies only sell new projects, because the developer pays them more. In addition, we hold a resale Istanbul property portfolio inside the same buildings — frequently below new-build pricing, and with the title deed already issued. You can also browse more apartments for sale in Istanbul.

  • Because the title deed is already in hand, this is the fastest route for a citizenship file
  • Real transaction history, so the valuation is not a guess
  • Still room to negotiate, which a developer price list never gives you
  • In addition, HDR photography and video tours for every unit we list

Of course, all listing prices are shown in Turkish lira (TL). However, ask us for the equivalent in your currency — we quote in USD, EUR or AED on request.

Video Tours

See the Apartment Before You Book the Flight

Because photographs flatter and floor plans leave things out, we film the units we handle – the actual corridor, the actual view, the actual light. Here are three recent walkthroughs of apartments and villas we have for sale, and there are more on our channel.

Why Durukan

A Narrow Focus Is Why Our Istanbul Property Advice Works

🏛

One district, 17 years

Above all, we don’t sell the whole country. Instead, we know every building in Maslak — including the ones we tell clients to skip.

Legal & citizenship team

Because the paperwork decides everything, sworn lawyers and translators handle the title deed, permits and citizenship file end to end.

🔑

We’re there after the deed

Utilities, furnishing, tenants, rental management and eventual resale — likewise the same team, in the same office.

🌍

Your language

English, Arabic and Russian — so you are understood from the first WhatsApp message to the day you sign.

Come and See Us

Our Offices Are in the Districts We Sell

On the European side we are inside Maslak 1453 — that is, the same complex we advise on. On the Asian side we are in Çınarköy, Çekmeköy. So visit either one for a coffee when you are in Istanbul, or if you prefer, start with a video call from wherever you are today.
