Development is happening on a daily basis in the Turkish capital. Over the last decade an increasing number of Blue Chip companies have opened locations in the city after realising the importance of having a base where East meets West. In addition, the government have given the green light to a third airport for the city and have given the go-ahead to two enormous infrastructure projects – a bridge across the Bosphorus and a canal linking the Marmara to the Black Seas.
On top of this, it has just been announced that two floating piers with a capacity for close to 400 boats will be opened in the Tarabya and İstinye districts on Istanbul’s European side of the Bosphorus.
With more and more wealthy people realising the benefits of Istanbul, the TurkeyBuyingGuide.com decided to take a look at the types of property available in the growing city.
This prestigious villa is ideally located in the centre of Istanbul and benefits from panoramic Bosphorus views. Situated in a 900 square metre plot of land, the six bedroom house is spread across three equally impressive levels.
In terms of quality, design and location this modern villa is second to none. It has a private swimming pool, a games and fitness room, a Turkish bath and is less than 100m from the waterfront. The property is on the market for £9,348,648.
If the villa is a little out of your price range, this upmarket development could be more in your price range. For prices starting at £93,179, you can choose from a studio or one or two bedroom apartments in this luxurious development. Amenities owners can benefit from include on-site hairdresser, convenience store, outdoor and indoor swimming pools, climbing wall and mini-golf.
